The problem with big breakfasts

I was done at a training centre near Brighton this morning. Got up at 0345 to start driving. Horrible weather and a big accident (which hadn't cleared when I came back), meant it was nearly 4 hours in the car - a small hire car. At my destination I fuelled myself on a big breakfast, only to find out that the training centre also offered a very high quality free lunch as well. Two very square meals and the early start, meant I was pretty drowsy on the way home (another 4 hours in the car), so I stopped at the services, reclined the seat and played an energergiser Pzizz - the rest of the journey was fine!

Hard Day......Hard Night

Hard day on site, followed by a hard day in the bar at the hotel! Generally a good was had today, very sucessful - but boring because nothing was happening. Finished shift at 2130 and found a couple of colleagues in the bar. 6 bottles of Corona, 1 Thai Green curry and a bloody mary later I'm in my room trying to but together a post!

Ghoster

Worked a ghoster shift last night` should really ahave been a late shift, but we were on a roll so ended up doing nearly 18 hours!!! Thats a good thing about working here, there is an abundance of good coffee at unusual times!

Managed to change to the Copthorne Hotel as well, which is far more comfortable. Will try the gym out later. As with all the night shifts I've worked, I get home and I'm buzzing, so never sleep properly - managed about 5 hours of restless slepp, but fell OK at the mo (maybe get some more later before heading in to site).

Plenty of productivity last night - hopefully the testing tonight (with ATKINS) will be as good.

Using my mobile phone as a modem again, will have to see if it is as cheap as I hope, or whether I get stung big style.

It was Mark who inspired me into writing posts again, he gave me the heads up on MacBreak podcast, which I listened to on the way down. Great stuff and the geek chats through the headphones, might keep me ticking along.
