Oops! I did it again.

Fell asleep that is. Not at my keyboard this time but half way through texting someone from my phone. Luckily I was laying on the sofa at the time so my phone didn't have very far to fall.

I must get more sleep or get a job in management where I don't have to work so hard.

Re: Oops! I did it again.

Hey LD, what job are you doing to make you fall asleep?

It sounds like it’s very physical, have you had an office job before, I’m intrigued to know what is making you so tired.

Supermarket, Pauline. On my feet nine hours per day (a la mask of course). In a previous thread I mentioned how I usually walk about 12 miles per day and in one year could have walked to Albania. I unload and put out the fruit and veg, butters, cheeses etc etc. It's my own fault. I get up at 05:30 but never go to bed before 11:30 at night. Still, I have four days off now.

Never a good idea to burn the candle at both ends.

Ah right, I understand why you are so tired, when my son was studying at uni, he had to help pay for the fees as well as me.

Oh boy it was hard word, all those cages as well LD, like you He is very hard working, he often talks about how physically hard it was working at Tesco, I was actually thinking about applying at my local Tesco, I have noticed that they take a lot of retired people on also at Sainsbury’s.

Enjoy your 4 days off, I bet you will still be going to bed late!.

Thanks Pauline.

Sainsbury's are taking on people at the moment ready for the Christmas rush. I have to say they are a very good company to work for, albeit hard work.

Take a power nap when you get home, it's amazing what a power nap can do. I usually take one early evening after work.

Look after yourself, sounds like you are overtired.

Re: Oops! I did it again.

I am always nodding off when sitting at the laptop

When I was working, I once came home after a night duty and fell asleep sitting on the bench at the kitchen table, I slid off the bench spilling tea everywhere.

Not normally but I'll sleep on it and let you know.


No, I think the main reason is that I am no spring chicken anymore that's all and I believe in doing a good day's work.
