My alarm failed to go off this morning and I woke at 4:40 (was set for 4:30) which was lucky. I'd had a shower & shave a mere 4 hours before, so I could skip that in the morning. Had packed the night before also and ironed my clothes, so it was a case of brush my teeth, get dressed and out. Was de-icing the car at 5. Unfortunatley I have to stop this Monday start thing in a couple of weeks when EasyJet shift to the summer schedule which means my weekends will end at 3pm each Sunday when I have to head for the airport - so I'm going to start looking for a new job now!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Today wasn't too bad, up just after 5am, out the door at 6am. rained for about 50km and then snowed but not too bad. Got to work at 9am which is about right for 300km drive“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

It's becoming a habit.
But that said, my shoulder is bolloxed and causing me a lot of discomfort.
Still, I was up at 4:00 and made it into the office in 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Bloody roadworks!
Still averaged more than 60mph.Comment

How early do people get up for a daily commute?
I have the hint of a contract in London and am looking at the 1hr 40hr train journey (it takes as long to get to Leeds from here and I did that for over a year...)"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
