5.30am? Does this make me a hardcore runner?!

Okays.... so... got up at 5.30am..... had orange juice, brushed teeth, put on running clothes. Sorted! (whose bright idea was this?! oh yeah! mine...... grr!)

left house at 5.55am.... jogged thru the park (slightly up-hill) as a warm up.... then erm, walked past some houses... (got embarrassed in case anyone saw me... although it was before 6am, but still!)

Ran along the promenade bit by the waterfront, then did some quick-quick running thru the building site. Walked over the bridge, had some water, then ran down the VERY long, VERY straight, VERY boring road that leads to town... hurrah!

Once past the main road we ran till we arrived at work.... sweaty and panting! At 6.30ish, we think.... Once again forgot to time our run (dammit, dammit, dammit)

thank god noone else was there! Had time to cool down and stretch, wash and change before either boss arrived, so that was a bonus!

so, 7am came, and the stocktake was due to begin.... with brand new HHT zappy things.... but....

none of the barcodes could be recognized! HQ said new computer package couldn't be sent till someone arrived at HQ (9am).

9am came..... nothing..... bloomin' technology!

9.20 came....... nothing..... hmm....

9.40 came....... you've guessed it.... nothing.....

9.50 came.... confirmation that stocktake is cancelled, rescheduled for 5 weeks time at least....

10am, store opens (1hr late!)

so, that's 3 hrs pay for three people, no work done.....
2hrs extra pay for 4 people......
and the two stock-controllers need paying too! haha, i don't see the area manager being happy about that!

but, the upside was testing the run to work.... (we ran the long way, btw!) i guess in five weeks time we get to do an action replay (this time with a damn watch!)
