These days are marathons, exercises in stamina and the ability to fill 10+ hours a day with meaningful activities. With that, my day is going something along these lines.7:00a: Woke up. Reset alarm to ten minutes later.
7:10a: Woke up. Reset alarm to fifteen minutes later.
7:25a: Woke up. Realized I reset alarm. Running late.
7:30a: Had a quick breakfast. Cinnamon LIFE.
7:45a: Morning cigarette outside.
8:00a: Left for work.
8:45a: Drove down to park by the Platte River and get in some God time. I'd be useless if I
didn't get this time to recharge, refocus and reconnect.8:50a: Got to work. Realized I left the OPEN neon sign on in my window overnight. I hope nobody was disappointed when they realized that the U.S. Cellular store wasn't really open at 2 am.
9:00a-10:00a (now) straightened up my store, received a few shipments, wrote this.
I suppose I should have prefaced this by stating that I'm working 10 hour days six days a week these days and am doing today and yesterday on a combined 7.5 hours of sleep.
It would very easily be soul-crushing, but at this point I can't afford to allow my soul to be crushed. So I soldier on and take refuge in the fact that this job isn't forever, there are brighter days ahead and I have a bag of bread and peanut butter for lunch under my desk.
