  • I miss sleep

    So on my paper routes, the counts have been off lately. I mean WAY off!

    Earlier this week, I had 34 extra papers. What am I going to do with 34 extra papers? Lots and lots of paper mache? (Oooo.....just got good idea for Boss Man's car next April 1...muahaha ) Someone had already started an "Extra" pile at the dropsite, so I wasn't the only one that day.

    Today, however, I was short. Now, if I'm only short one or two, no problem. I'll just find a box, buy out what I need, and deliver the papers. It's not worth calling it in. Today, though, I was short 15 newspapers! Even if I could find a box with that many (none in my area do), I'm not shelling out that much to fix someone else's error!

    What sucks is that the dispatch center doesn't open up until 4:30am. By that time, I'm normally done and catching up on a couple ZZzzs before I have to get up for my day job. So I had to wait for half an hour for dispatch to open up so I can let them know I'm short, then another 20 minutes for someone to get the papers out to me, then another 20 minutes to go out to my route, deliver the papers, and get home. It was 5:10 when I got home and I had to be up at 6:10. I missed over an hour of sleep this morning.

    I don't even want to think about that job tomorrow, with all the New Year's drunks to contend with in the morning...
