Mon thru Fri

Wake up between 5 and 5:15
Brushteeth, shave, piss, start coffee, get dressed, pack a breakfast and a lunch for the day (not in that order) and out of the house no later than 6. I have a 30 to 40 min drive so during that time I can answer any questions my guys have for me before they go out in the field. At work by 6:30. Have my coffee and check email and forums

Up at 4:00, drink a glass of water & take my vitamins. Head down to the man cave & work out for 30 mins (lift every day, cardio every other). Back upstairs at 4:30 fixing coffee & breakfast. Work the crossword puzzle from the previous day (paper doesn't arrive before I leave for work), read the comics. In the shower at 5:00. Dressed & out the door by 5:30. Light cigar #1 of the day while driving 45 mins to work. In the office by 6:30 working emails, then DWSC show emails, then check all 7 cigar boards I frequent. After 8:00 the chaos begins!

I can't believe I missed out on this thread way back then. Here's the weekday routine...

  • Alarm goes off at 5:35am and I hit the snooze no more than twice, so I'm up by 5:55am.
  • Head downstairs with the dog and set him loose out back for a piddle.
  • Back upstairs, start the shower to warming while I brush my teeth, strop the straight razor, and soak the brush.
  • Shower
  • If it's winter, start the truck to warm up. Man, I love remote start.
  • Shave & groom, dress, and head downstairs
  • Kiss The Wife®, shoe my feet, grab a cup, and I'm out the door for my 26-mile commute into Anchorage.

When I'm working the boards everyday of the work week is a different shift.

1st shift 4pm-Midnight
2nd shift 2:30pm-10:30pm
3rd shift 8:00am-4:00pm
4th shift 6:00am-2:00pm then that evening
5th shift 11:00pm-7:00am

Have to have a min. of 8 hours between shifts.

It's a rotation that uses constant sleep deprivation but gives you a long weekend. It's the worst possible shift rotation for you health though.

That's close to my neighbors schedule.... he's a air traffic controller.

Me?

6:33 get up to hit snooze. Dog licks foot as I pass by. (I put alarm on the other side of the room)
6:42 Same as above.
6:51 Again, only the white dog follows me back to where I'm sleeping at the time and licks whatever raw skin he can find.
7:00 Same as above, but I have to run to the other room where my other alarm is going off as well.
7:09 Again, I get up, walk to alarm, snooze (just in case I fall asleep). Dogs are both now nipping at my fingers to let them out.
7:15 Get pissed at the dogs and let them out.
7:16 Take my morning crap, laptop in tow.
7:18 Listen to alarm going off again from both my room and the living room.
7:20 Wish there was some way I could turn off my alarms without having to get up.
7:25 Realize that I have to get up, the dogs are barking and the neighbors are gonna get pissed.
7:30 Wake my daughter up by having the dogs jump in bed and lick her. Pick out her clothes to wear, throw them on her and tell the dogs to get down.
7:35 make Bell's breakfast, get coffee brewing.
7:45 go and get Bell going again cause she fell asleep getting dressed.
7:50 Tell Bell to eat faster, she has to fix her homework that she got wrong.
7:55 sign her notebook. Brush her hair.
8:05 put lab in crate, let Bell say goodbye to all her pets.
8:07 Take her to school
8:10 drop her off.
8:15 back home to realize that I forgot to turn on coffee. Let dog out of crate. Get in shower.
8:20 throw some boxers on, take laptop to table, turn on TV and watch last nights The Shields while drinking coffee and eating my breakfast and going thru databases and alarms and emails for work.

Out the door depends on what's broken and where, or if I have a meeting in the morning.
