Drunk or Tired?

I haven't slept since 3pm on Saturday afternoon. It's now 7:10am on Monday morning and it literally took me about 8 attempts to type those opening 2 sentences because all the keys on the keyboard are ridiculously blurry.. I do need sleep, but I feel on top of the world.

Today has been a good day. It started out bad, the co-worker getting on my nerves as usual mixed in with the fact I wasn't allowed to get any sleep due to family issues and work overrunning. I had a cricket match at 1, so stocked up on Red Bull or the Tesco Value equivalent. BP doesn't pay that well.. 1pm hit and I was already feeling like I was ready to hit the floor. I wasn't expecting a great batting innings to be fair, and after fielding first and taking another catch, (although not spectacular), I was asked to open the batting. Oh dear, better crack open another can of ... 'Kick' .. ? ..

It clearly worked. We were only chasing a score of 167, but a new best score of 60 was exactly what I was after. I should really not sleep more often, but by the time the match was finished, it was 8.30pm. One point five hours to relax and maybe sleep before another shift? Nope! I had promised to make an appearance at Kettle's maniac idea of a one-off BBQ so I went into my final shift of the week on the back of exactly 30 minutes kip. I was doomed. I had my free coffee and final can of ... 'Kick' ... ("What is this rubbish?") and I put myself in the mind set of, "only one mroe shift to go!"

My mood was highly lifted straight away though, because my co-worker had let someone escape without paying for £70 worth of fuel. To say my manager, (the evil one), went "ape shit" would be an understatement. She went berserk, and for the rest of the night, he speculated on whether he would get the sack. I refused to comment. I have no idea what the final outcome will be, but please God, let it be bad news ... for him! I know it sounds bad, but for me it's a little bit like when Jade Goody died.. I couldn't give a shit!

Right now though, after being awake for ... 40 hours straight.. I am no longer tired but feel a little bit drunk with a slight affect of the hangover. I know I need sleep and after I have done this I will, plus the good effects of 4 days off now! I'm a happy Mitten.
