The slightly longer version of Day One

vanillafluffyYesterday was a long day. Mb called me at 4:40 a.m. (I'd had maybe four hours of sleep at that point. We went to the food bank, she was #68, I was #70. We were out of there by 6:20, back to her place by 7. Once Bozo got moving, I crashed on the bed that serves as her couch. I didn't exactly sleep, it was more that stage where you're aware of your surroundings and what's going on around you, but you can't move.
It helped though; when the dogs barking roused me around 9:30, I felt less like a zombie and got ready to begin at 10---had a doughnut, used the toilet, had a pen and steno pad ready for notes, the usual.
Made the call at 10, conferenced with Marketing Exec and D, got prompted through the procedure of how to look up data and fill out the spreadsheet, and spent the next few hours diligently looking up and filling in, punctuated with quiet swearing at Mb's computer set-up...for one thing, she's running a really obnoxious browser, for another, she's using a different OS, one that doesn't let me adjust the size of the page. I was squinting like a mole...so today was MUCH easier.
She didn't get back from doing her thing til after 9 p.m., I got it right around 10. Nuked a couple bratwurst, watched Route 66 and the evening news, and was snoring by midnight. Slept til 9 (I had an alarm set for 9:45, but was up and in action by then), and started back in on the list promptly at 10. I put in four hours today (five hours with time out for lunc)h, and now I'm contemplating a nap.
Probably not a good idea, otherwise I'm liable to be up til the wee hours.
Wanna hear something funny? Or at least ironic? My landline is working. I got an automated call from AT&T saying they're coming out for service tomorrow "as scheduled". And I've already had my first wrong number....
