Ben Benner’s Blog

Earlier than usual.

I am not sure what happened first, but I remember waking up this morning and thinking “The alarm on my phone doesn’t sound quite right.”

After opening the night stand drawer (which is where I keep my phone these days, while I am asleep anyway), I noticed that the screen wasn’t the usual “Wake-up Alarm” screen. Rather it said that Kearney was calling me, that explained why the ringing coming from the phone wasn’t my usual wake-up alarm.

I think I might have noticed that the clock on the phone said that it was 4:00 am, before I realized it was Kearney.

I won’t get into the details, but my assitance was needed to complete a maintenance that was being completed early this morning.

I told Jeremy that I was going to get ready and head into the office. However, I remembered that Gina and I carpooled home today, which means that I wouldn’t be able to just head into the office early.

Therefore, I did something I haven’t done in a long time, I made myself a hot breakfast on a weekday.

French Toast!!!

(Sorry, it didn’t last long enough for a picture folks).

I also sliced off some of the leftover Ham and threw that into the pan.

Breakfast was good and I decided to do a quick blog post, notably that has no real substance. More like just writing, to write. Something I haven’t done in a while.

Gina will be up soon, I should probably start getting ready.

Laterz.

I set my alarm for 0140, giving me time to crawl out of bed and over to the computer with plenty of time to spare.

Low and behold,  Jeremy messages me.

He is still awake.

Course he is on vacation, therefore he can stay up at long as he wants.

Ok, the maintenance is about to start.

I have a maintenance in just under 3 hours.

I had one last Friday morning at 0200 as well.

I opted to handle these maintenances rather than make my staff deal with it. To note, Jeremy is on vacation this week and would be my regular choice for handling this maintenance.

However, since I am going to be on vacation soon I figured handling a little bit of early morning “fun” is the least I can do for the fact that they are going to have to handle my duties while I am out.

I have a new guy starting tomorrow, he is going to be in the office at 0900. So that means I will need to get to bed in a more reasonable timeframe than last week.

Anyway, I best get to bed, especially given that I was up late last night finishing up a script for Gina’s customer.
