Drive-by blogging.... watch out for that tree... I mean fence!
Further to my previous post, this is how I am currently feeling!
And on Thursday night, after 3 days of 10+ hours days and an average of 3-4 hours sleep each night, I decided to go with NPNP to see Hairspray...
Great movie by the way, want to go and see it again... they are doing sing-a-long versions already.
Glad I caught up with NPNP, and glad I saw the movie despite being utterly exhausted BUT turning into my driveway about 10.00pm, I stopped as I usually do to collect my mail from the letterbox, climbed back into the car and accelerated up the drive to the sound of crunch, bang...
As I'd turned into the drive I was closer to the fence then I realised and dragged the car's passenger side along the fence line taking the car down to base metal in several places as I caught the metal edge of the fence protector FENCE 1 CAR 0
I've driven up this driveway at least 5 times a week for the last four years... I just sat in the car and had a quiet sob for a few minutes... then came inside to toss and turn till 3.00am... and then slept for 3 hours to get up and drag myself off to work for a 7.00am start.
Car will take a week to fix... which means I will either have to take some time off... almost impossible to get from my place to my place of work by public transport, or see if anyone who lives in neighbouring suburbs might be give me a lift... either way I'm going to have to curtail my working hours.... the universe trying to tell me something do you think?
Note: Friday night sleep tally - in bed and asleep with the light on at 11.30pm - slept through until 9.00am! Last night... asleep by 1.00am ... awake at 8.00am... so may be the sleep thing is going to settle down.
Am going to try this week to see if leaving at a normal time (i.e. 5.30pm) and going home and fixing dinner etc. and then sitting down at computer to do some work after I've eaten, might help with the sleep thing... am sure leaving work at 7.30pm and eating dinner at 9.00pm isn't a healthy thing!
Also as a result of Friday's meeting with Safety Inspector it's clear that we need some additional resources to manage the current crisis... so will be talking to the powers that be about bringing in a contractor to help out... either that... or I curtail some of my projects as this level of craziness is unsustainable!

10 hour days SUCK. Been there doing that. Blogging has taken a back seat and I suck at visiting lately due to it but I am trying to catch up!
Frou I sure hope things get easier for you soon!
It seems everyone is having a tough time keeping up in the blog world lately...I wonder if it's the change of seasons?
ooooh - you've been spammed. that guy's still lurking the blogs, huh? sorry work has been a bitch. mine too.
kitty pics are funny - they remind me of Lila-doll who sends me nutty cat emails.
It must be the time of year -work has been nuts for me too. Hope things get easier for you soon. Hang in there, XINE
Just stopping by to tell you I miss you! ;-) And I finally posted my answers to your interview, come on by when you get a break and check them out!
I've done it, too. Still a bash on my right fender, and it still sickens me.
Hey Miss Frou! I love that crashed cat picture, too! Sorry to hear about your Fence 1 Car 0 incident. Maybe the Universe IS trying to tell you to take a break. Or else your work can spring for a rental if they really need you that badly.
where the Frou are you?
its been too long....where are you?
