Well how goes it my three followers? I have to say that the last couple of days have been hell, probally do to the fact that I have had no sleep! This all began at my usual wake up time of 3:00 am wednesday morning. I was supposed to work four hours that day, 4:00 to 8:00 a.m. That way I figured I could come home and get some reading done for my Greek History Class, the I could write my paper on thrusday and have it submitted by 8:00 pm. Well that change because I got called up Nine Mile Canyon to go work on a truck. The bad thing about this? Well, it takes a good 3 and a half hours one way to get to the location! So that blew my idea of only working 4 hours away. So working an 11 hour shift I was completly behind schedule. So I went to class wednesday night and got home from class around 8:00 pm. (total time awake = 17 hours)
So getting home I had to finish my reading so I could have some substance for my paper. Which was due at midnight on thursday. The reading took me 5 hours, the time on the clock is now 1:00 am. So im now faced with the question. Is 2 and half hours of sleep really worth it? I decided: no. Boy what a mistake! So instead of sleeping I start getting some other homework done for British Lit, and then head off to work, thinking that I can put in my 8 hours and get home to start my paper. This actually happened, but it was boarish 8 hours. I got to the shop and was informed that a truck was waiting for in Moab! Lucky me. Not that big of problem, other than the fact that it has now been 24 hours without any sleep! So I get back from moab at 10:30, and have another truck waiting for a set of drives. So I bust ass and get them done so I can get off in time. After all, I have a six page paper due that night at 11:59. The problem is that my wife, a CEU student, is on spring break! Sounds good huh!? No, since i began college I have developed strange writing rituals. One of these rituals is that I can be the only one in the house! Plus, I have a meeting with Brad at 2:00. So I try starting on my paper, which failed miserably, so I give up for the time being and head off to my meeting with Brad. After the meeting, now 3:00 pm (total time without sleep = 35 hours). I come home, knowing that I have a max of 9 hours to get my paper done. I tell my wife that she is forbidden to enter my office and make the least amount of noise possible, and I get to work! By this point in time I have drank 6 Rock Stars to keep going. Needless to say, I got the paper hacked out and submitted at 11:47 pm. Yeah i got it done! But now im faced with the fact that I have to be back to work in 4 hours. That is enough time right? Wrong, Im so wired from energy drinks and coffee that I can't sleep. so once again I start homework for other class. I found that reading was useless, even thought I was wide awake, but my brain was tired that it retained nothing. So I took a couple quizes for Young Adult Lit. Then I played on the net until it was time for work. Arriving at work (48 hours without sleep now!) I find that I have nothing to do! The truck I was supposed to work on got sent out of state. Sounds good right? Wrong! When you have gone 48 hours with sleep you need things to keep you going, otherwise you want to pass out! So Friday, today, I got off work at noon, came home and went shopping with my wife, by the way, WALMART SUCKS AT 1:00 PM AND YOURE TIRED AS HELL! anyway I survive that mini adventure, come home unload Groceries, and get ready to take my parents out to dinner for my dads birthday. 5:00 pm (57 hours now) we drive to East Carbon for dinner, eat and come home. If you ever find yourself in East Carbon stop and eat at the Pik-N-Shovel. Absolulty amazing! So that brings us to now. Me typeing my blog! 8:22. 60 hours have passed, and im fading fast. And the only thing I have to think about is I have to be back to work at 4:00 tomorrow morning. So 6 hours 6 or so hours is what i get if I go to bed now. Which im doing. Im not spell checking this, or proof reading it. hopefully it makes sense, I don't know if my math adds up, and at this point i don't care. So later. excuse my bluntness......
