RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 02/06/19> No need to panic… it was just bad timing.
Howdy sir sultnpapper! sorry I missed the voting limit on this post but wanted to stop in and say hi. It's a good thing you can make it without a lot of sleep though. Tell T-bone not to get into trouble in Texas. My gosh with my wife working for the county jail we are shocked at how severe the punishments are for minor and first time offenses, many of them DUI's.
At least in this part of Texas it's some serious stuff!
One thing I have been able to do all my life is go on 5 to 6 hours of sleep with no problems and that has paid off big for me several times. If I sleep to long I wake up with a headache most times.
I tell the T-Bone all the time that the old campaign "Don't Mess With Texas" wasn't just about littering, the state had a second motive with the use of the slogan. I think he gets it about how the cops and sheriffs are just looking for reason to pull you over so they can look for other things to charge you with.
As I am guilty of driving before under the influence I was lucky enough to never get pulled over and never caused or got into any wrecks. That was many, many years ago when I was young and stupid and have come to realize just how dangerous those actions were. I use to have a website promoting sober driving and created several bumper stickers that reflected that position, well mainly attacking drunk drivers. One of my favorites was this one, "There is a place in our society for drunk drivers... the county jail."
Howdy sir sultnpapper! Since you do well on 5 or 6 hours of sleep do you try to get 8 hours just because that's more normal and recommended or do you try to get 6 hours?
I'm similar. If I get 6 hours then I'm fine.
It's so true about the drunk drivers and I love that statement you have about the county jail and that should persuade anyone to only drive when they're sober, that place sucks! lol.
What about the Daily Dose? People have to be wondering and going through withdrawals!
Seldom do I ever use an alarm clock, for years I have normally woke up between 5:45 and 6:15 so I always try and get to sleep before midnight. Lately though I have been up well past midnight working on drawings and the last three months of working at the old place I needed to be on the road by 6:25 each day in order to make it work on time.
Now I work from home so no need to commute or anyone worrying about if I am on time. Very similar to how the old job was for the prior eleven years, my customers don't want to see me before 9:30 at the earliest unless we have an event planned for that day when they open.
I am hoping to get back to do doing the Daily Dose soon, I kind of jumped the gun in the last Daily Dose proclaiming I was back. I have a bunch of new products that I have to get up to speed on that are taking a lot of my "free " time plus doing drawings.
I promise I will get back here doing it regularly but it will be hit and miss for a while if I can get any in at all.
To tell you how busy I have been; I have played one poker game in the last 15 days and that was only because it was the finals of the Team Up series and I didn't want to let my team mates down by not showing up. I did finish 5th that day so I wasn't real rusty on my game.
wow sir sultnpapper, you are working from home? What about the new job with the company based out of Houston? Did I miss something? I knew you were doing the drawings for people but I thought that was just on the side.
Well as far as coming back everyone wants you to be well caught up and settled into your new life and schedule before that so they understand.
The company is based out of San Antonio area, I will be covering most of south Texas but mainly the Houston area, about 80% of my time will be in Houston but I office out of my house.
oh ok sir sultnpapper, NOW I understand! That is perfect! Dang that's a great set up!
