Maybe i should procrastinate later.
Last night, I meant to take a shower and shave before I went to bed, because I had a quick contract on the westside this morning. Well. I finally did go to bed at around 4, and probably not to sleep until past 5.
So, when my alarm(s) woke me up at 7:30, they got slapped into oblivion.
Which resulted in me leaving the house around the time i previously planned… however, unshaven, unshowered, and in a rush to get to the westside.
Not taking the Albuquerque Factor into consideration.
If you need to cross town. Leave at least 15 minutes earlier then you think you need… and you’ll get there early.
Leave at the time you think, or later, and you’ll be at least an hour late.
Arrived for my 9am contract at 9:35 at cottonwood mall.
Quickly got my shit together, and did an hours worth of work in under 30 minutes, and the site opened just 7 minutes late (due to testing, and i had to restart the POS controller once extra because of the stupid parallel printer port.)
Keep in mind, that
1. I had to use a manual screwdriver because the drill didnt have enough torque to drill into the anchor stud i was trying to drill into. (that reminds me, i better go charge the damn drill)
2. I had to memorize where all 9 cables coming off the computer went… by touch, because it was too damn dark to see them in the back of the PC cart… then had to reconnect them by memory inside the new locking cage I just installed.
The job was scoped out at an hour. Got it done much quicker then that.
Which means, tomorrow, in Santa Fe, where i do the same damn thing, i’ll spend more time on the road ONE WAY then actually on site… Again.
Oh well. I do get paid well.
I still havent showered or shaven though. So I might do that after i go find some quick fast food, because i’m still hungry, even after eating at Mannie’s earlier.
