Routine or take things as they come? - Page 6

ROFL !! Me too !

Somehow, my hair develops more bumps than usual :/

That only happens if I go to bed with damp hair - then I look like I've been dragged thru a hedge backwards and not in a fun kinda way either

Everything after that happens in whatever order I happen to stumble across it until the point I am walking down the hallway towards the front door, when I pat my pockets in order: Phone, Keys, Wallet.

If this surprises anyone i'll be utterly amazed

I have no routines as I change from the 7:30 start shift to the 10:30 several times a week. I also tend to be hungover frequently which stops me from getting up early. My only routine is swearing at whoever is waiting at my desk when I get in to work.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who tends to get us before the sun. Seems like with 1-2 exceptions the entire office gets up 7am or later.

I aim to be up at 06:30, so...

06:28 - Alarm 1
06:30 - Mobile alarm (normally cancel this before it goes off)
06:33 - Alarm 2 (almost always cancel this)
06:45 - First flat mates alarm, normally eating cereal by this stage
07:00 - Decide I should make a move before he gets up
07:15 - 07:20 - Leave
07:30 - Arrive at work cursing the traffic

08:30 - Rest of office begins to arrive and the trouble starts

Not sure why I worry the housemates will arise and I'll be stuck waiting to clean my teeth, it's only happened once in 6 months. Once you've been awake more than a few minutes you've lost REM and therefore most meaningful sleep!

That's on a good day... On a bad day I'm up 04:45 and in work by 05:30, not that often fortunately.

Plan B this morning!! I had to take a cold shower due to some high blood pressure problems in the southern hemisphere! No easy peeing when you're reaching for the sky

Just managed to get out of the door before the childminded kids arrive

If I don't have to walk the dogs it's:

7.00 - Phone alarm goes off
7.15 - Second Phone Alarm goes off
7.30 - Finally wake up and start to panic
7.35 - Throw on some clothes, trundle down the stairs to make a cup of tea and have a smoke.
7.40 - Trundle back upstairs for a wee/shower/to brush my teeth
7.55 - Finally get out of the shower and get mostly dried in the bathroom
8.00 - Start to get dressed for work not bothering with my tie till I'm there
8.15 - Get into the car and head to the shops for the paper and snacks for work
8.30 - Get to work, make cup of tea, check emails, browse the net for a bit till 9am

If I have to take the dogs:

6.45 - alarm goes off, open my eyes to see one of my dogs staring me in the face and wining at me
6.50 - Finally relent after dog tries to push me off the bed and get dressed.
6.55 - After the dogs allow me to put their leads on after bouncing round the kitchen I take them for a quick walk
7.10 - Back in the house to dry and feed them and make myself a cup of tea
7.20 - Trundle upstairs to have a shower/wee/to brush my teeth
7.35 - Get out of shower and get dried and dressed
7.55 - Trundle downstairs and think about having breakfast, decide no and have another smoke.
8.05 - Get into the car and head to the shops for the paper and snacks for work
8.25 - Get to work, make cup of tea, check emails, browse the net for a bit till 9am

I'm so not a morning person.

When on the rig I have a fairly set routine.

In the mornings:

04:45 - Wake up and go for pee.
04:46 - Wash, brush teeth and put them in

04:50 - Get dressed.
04:55 - Get work stuff together.
05:00 - Head downstairs to 'coffee shop'/smoke room.
05:02-05:45 - Drink coffee and smoke fags.
05:45 - Go out on deck for handover with nightshift.
06:00 - Start work.

In the evenings:

18:00 - Finish work.
18:02 - Get washed and change out of work clothes.
18:05 - Have tea.
18:30 - Coffee and smokes.
19:00 - Ops meeting upstairs.
19:10 - Off to room, check e-mails and spam forums.
20:00 - Have shower.
20:20 - Coffee and smokes.
21:00 - Back to room and mess about on pooter for a bit.
22:00 - To bed with book.
22:30 - Sleep.
23:30 - Wake up for pee (regular as clockwork this one).
03:30 - Wake up for another pee

(not every night but quite often).
04:45 - Start again.

When I'm at home, I get up when I wake up (depends when I went to bed), have a pint mug of tea and then take things as they come (FNAR)

Odd thing is, I rarely wake up for a pee when I'm home - it only seems to be when I'm on the rig

It's all that splashing sound, Stan.
