Mornings
I have come to the conclusion that mornings and myself do NOT get along.... When I was in college, I tried never to schedule a class before 10:30. I love staying up late. Now that I am in a position where I must be at work by 7:30, I have developed a truce with mornings. I will abide by the wishes of the fates that I must pull myself out of bed before 6 am. I will drag myself to the bathtub and fill the tub with completely scalding water (yes, I know that cold water would do a better job of waking me up, but I can't bear the thought of sitting my ass down in something so early that would cause my testicles to ascend up inside of me and shrivel to the size of peanuts.) So, here I sit, while my water is running.... hoping to get my mind cleared up before I start my day.
It seems I have so much to do. But, I always have a lot to do. At the moment, I am finishing up a stint of covering two positions where I work. They have hired a person in to do the other position, a crucial position I have been doing in addition to my own since April 11. Hopefully this will be my last week of the 12 - 14 hour days... and weekends. I have had 3 days since I started this additional duty where I have not went in to work. Somedays it is only for 2 or 3 hours... but I still end up going in. I think part of it is due to living out in the middle of nowhere (we'll definitely talk about that at a later time.)
So... my bath water is run now and cooling off a bit so I can actually stand to get into it. Then I will slide on my uniform and head off to work. If someone had told me years ago that I would be standing in front of a group of young adults every day and lecturing them, I would have laughed. I have never been good with public speaking. It is one of those things that I would get tongue-tied in high school and not even be able to give book reports. But out of necessity, I trained myself to overlook the stares of my audience. Now it doesn't even register that I am doing anything different. I have been told by someone special that sometimes when I talk, I go into "instuctor mode" ...where I start explaining things.
But I digress.. and my bath water should almost be cooled down enough where I can actually sit in it. Mornings... love 'em .. or hate 'em ...they're gonna come anyway. ...and in a sense, I am glad I can see another morning each day. Think about it... What's the alternative?

I DESPISE mornings. Sometimes I am crabby. Sometimes I can't find stuff.....sometimes (MOST TIMES) I'd rather sleep. But, I am becoming a morning person.....sort of against my own will.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, BTW.

Don't feel bad, I hate mornings too. I love to stay up late every night whether I game or do work I like the later hours. Its difficult to get up in the am for me whether I get 2 hours or 12 hours of sleep. Instructor mode was always a good thing lol. Its awesome to hear someone go nerd before your morning coffee.
