2 to 4 is all I need, but I can usually get in about 4 to 6. Like Dan, I sometimes get thrown into the 3rd-shift timeframe. Sucks to break out of it, especially when you have to work at 6:30am, and it's already 3am!
If it was anything like my day yesterday, I'll take about 12!
Here's what happened. My driveshaft went south the previous night, so I was enslaved to drive my mom's '95 Monte Carlo. Nooooooooo! I had to be up at 3am to meet somebody an hour away to carpool with, not including additional time for road construction. That...person...had already left for the inventory in Sandusky (coming from Toledo) we were supposed to ride to together. Doh! Then I had to travel a half-hour back to get my scan-gun thingy from my store, plus another twenty minutes to get back to the turnpike. Okay, inventory was done at about 11:00am. I headed home, changed clothes & grabbed some lunch, then left for Detroit (well, actually Taylor but close enough) to pick up an aluminum driveshaft from Ramchargers. On the way back, my heart convinced my head to visit my ex-girlfriend in Woodhaven. I left there about 5:15pm or so, and somehow STUPIDLY decided to get back through the busy part of Monroe. At this one intersection where a whole lineup of us turned left, I was following a semi through a construction zone. We came to a complete stop, and all of a sudden
the semi started backing up!!! I had an entire line of a dozen cars behind me!!! I desperately honked the horn, tried to back up, (stupid b!tch behind me was staring off into space with her head up her butt or something), anything I could to avoid a collision, but the semi just kept coming. It smacked the hood right above the bowtie emblem and crunched it in about an inch or so. I thought about that later; too bad it didn't just hit the bowtie.
I hate to say it but thank God I was NOT in my Mustang. I would've literally beat this guy to death if it had happened to my Belle. Anyhoo, I drove home, told my dad what happened (mom was at a funeral), and went to sleep on the couch at around 8:00pm. Woke up about 45 minutes ago (it's 9:45 now).
Sorry this was so long, but I just had to vent about yesterday. Now I get to go to work! Yay! Not.
