I don't work Mondays

So, last Monday was a holiday and I didn't go in Tuesday either. (seems I did the same thing after fourth of July - whenever they give me a long weekend I make it longer? What's up with that?)

Really, the reason I didn't go to work Tuesday is I have been having a weird sleep pattern situation: some nights I just can't get to sleep till it's almost time to get up, and no way am I driving 100 miles and then working ten hours in what is truthfully a dangerous AND hazardous environment, on only two hours' sleep.

Near quitting time yesterday my "toolie" K said to me, "maybe if we both come in Monday they'll let us tool up together again!" He'd come in a couple hours late yesterday, and I had A-the-Liberian as a toolie all day, while when K came in he was stuck on the crew that had to move the new transformers into the unit - slow, tedious, heavy, frustrating work.
