I used to find that drinking alot helped. If you could go through the next day in half a fog it was bearable
One way to not feel so burned out is to go right to bed after work.It makes for having no life at all but you wont be so tired. SCREW THAT! Think of it this way,if I stay up drinking till 2AM and get up and go to work,they are only getting about 50% of me,but I`m still getting full pay!By the time 5:30 rolls around,I still have 15 stops and 3 letter boxes to do,I`m down to about 15% and I`m now getting time and a half ! Really though,this job is not for the elderly,but I think if I was a crossing guard I would get very fat.So I`ll live with being burned out for both the exercise and the paycheck.
I used to have to stop every day and wake a friend of mine up. He skipped eating lunch and chose to sleep instead. He would park on the side of the road and lay down on a shelf. I also had a friend that pulled into a farmyard with a pkg needing a signature. This was back when you needed a signature for everything except release # pkgs. He decided to wait the extra ten minutes before the kids came home on the schoolbus to get their sig. Long story short- kids stayed in town for sports and he fell asleep. Woke up 3 hours later when the family drove up in the car. I personally never slept on the job- even though management would disagree. We did have a guy that would shut the bars down about 3 nights a week and would sleep in the locker room rather than risk driving home. The bar was about 2 blocks from the center. Being a small center we all had our own key to get in so there has been all kinds of hanky panky in that building after hours.
had a great day. got up about 8am read the paper until 8:30 then i ate. got dress , saw my grandaughter off to school and ran a few errands. had lunch with a pop from a blue can (labatts) did a little yard work. had another pop. then it was time for dinner. what a great day. it sure is nice to be retired
I know this may seem like a kinda gay title for a thread but it may help to kill some of the pain.
I find if you are in the same area for a long time,you can get a bit too efficient.
Talk about being in the same area for a long time, I was in my favorite bathroom stall today, tapping my toes to the Chile Peppers on my I-Pod, bent over to pick up a piece of TP on the floor and spread legs so my pants wouldn't slide, and low and behold "JohnnyLaw" The Bathroom Detective flip his badge from under the partition. I told him "this may seem kind of gay" but I'm a big wide guy and I'm not from Idaho. On that note he let me go.
Thanks psyclone...you were right,I tried it today and it lets you complete the stop as a "dup" without it showing up as a new stop.I`ll make sure I use it from now on,I may be more overallowed,but if thats what I`m supposed to do I will.I dont care how much I run over anyways.
