Perpetual Ruminations

Sunday

It's another late night and I'm not going to get much written again. This is normal anymore, no time off; I'm either at work, or working. I'm hoping we get another person hired and trained soon, but I have become so used to this, that I really don't feel very optimistic about it at all.

See, every time I get someone hired to fill a position so I can get a couple days off each week with my wife, something happens, and we are short again. I did get a couple days off this month, and I had a couple off in May. Even though I was not at work, I was working from home. That's part of the job, but with being short, interviewing, hiring, training, and just filling in as needed, I just don't have any time for much of anything.

I did take the afternoon off yesterday after work and went fishing. But, I should have been home getting some things done. Therefore, my mind was on them instead of on fishing and relaxing. Also, I was dead tired. I'm surprised the rocking of the boat didn't put me right to sleep.

Of course, it was kind of cold, which helped keep me awake. Also, it was pretty windy, which also kept me awake. For that matter, the boat did not rock, it pitched. I did enjoy the outing anyway, despite having a lot on my mind, being cold and tired, and not catching anything.

Now, it's time for a snack adn then bed, I'm still beat.
