The Early Bird Catches The Worm

The current time is 06:49 and it is now officially early morning and not late night. I haven't been to sleep yet as I slept most of yesterday due to dizziness and the like. I physically couldn't get up, so I didn't.

There is not much point going to sleep now. If I did, I wouldn't get up till 6:49PM and that, even in my book, is a waste of a day. So, I now face the prospect of filling the length of a day that I am not used to. I am expecting my Father to walk in any second, just getting up for work, and either a) shout at me for staying up all night and demand I go to sleep or b) enquire as to why I haven't gone to bed and then walk out the door wondering how my brain works. If only I knew. On the other hand, he may just not bother at all and go to work. I hope it's the latter as I'm not sure I want to face the wrath of a tired father, who is agitated at the fact he's got another long day ahead of him. He does a good job.

So. What am I going to do..? Might go to town but I used to do that just to go for the recruitment agencies and now I don't need to do such a thing. Thank Christ. So going to town would literally serve no purpose so I will probably just wait for Kettle to finish whatever he's doing and go to town with him at a more Godly hour. Lunch maybe? Would be delicious!

I will probably have a mid-afternoon nap to make up for lost time that was supposed to be taken during the night.. I don't know why I didn't go to sleep... (I can hear my Dad getting up...) I spent most of the night catching up on BBC shows using iPlayer and then watched a few C4 shows on YouTube before just generally facebook stalking people. I still act like the classic unemployed person.

Talking of employment, I am a tad nervous about the new job. The problem being is that because it's a night-shift job, I may well have to deal with a few drunks and although I have experience of drunk people, most of them have been friends who don't have the potential to punch and/or stab me and also finishing at 6am will mean I can either sleep my usual number of hours and miss most of the day out, and be comfortable or hardly sleep at all then enjoy the things I enjoy doing, but in a haze of tiredness. I have already mentioned going for promotion in refereeing whilst doing games with 3 hours sleep behind me.. I am not looking forward to that. I'm not (usually) the person who likes little or no sleep. Usually... tonight slash this morning being the rare exception of course.

Despite watching countless videos all night and generally being a lazy arse all night, I have done a little bit of reflection. Earlier, I was talking with someone about the power of the 'U Grade'. Otherwise known as, 'Ungraded', this school A Level grade signals that you are a failure. I only ever got one 'U' and that was in French, (notorious for it's difficulty), however, I was talking to someone earlier who can't stop getting them. He puts in the effort and the hard yards yet, when it comes to exams, he freezes. It made me stop and think about what I wasted when I was at school and what I could of achieved if I had put my mind to it. I don't regret what I did because I didn't want to do it at the time. It's happened and I moved on quickly. I just wonder whether, if I had put 110% effort in, whether I would be sitting here at 07:28, at home, typing this blog. I could well have been in university and maybe this blog wouldn't be here at all.. Still, nothing I can do about it now, (well there is but I don't want to), and I will live what life has given me. I'm not one to complain... yeah right!

Ok, it's 7:30.. I reckon my Dad has walked out the door without disrupting me in full flow which is a good thing. He may enquire this evening, but it won't matter because he will be in a better mood and I may well have fallen asleep by then! God, I'm bored already.. Don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of the day.. No way I'm going to sleep now...

I may well speak to you later, if I'm up and about. If not, have a good day. As usual, I know you will.
