After running the new route for a curtailed full week, I can say that I don't think I'll be keeping it for long. If this week is what to expect as standard times, then it will rapidly wear me down to a numbed mush. Each night I leave for work at 930PM and the earliest at which I had my foot back in my home afterwards was 230PM the following day. Unlike last week, I never had any stops omitted, which obviously makes a dramatic difference. Combine that with random other uncontrollable mishaps, such as all inbound freight arriving late, or road construction issues, or an impromptu check by the state police on my documents, and all the effort on keeping up the pace goes to waste and I fall hours behind in the end. While I am indeed new to running the route, I am not new to performing the job itself so I don't foresee how I can make my work function dramatically faster. I also definitely don't foresee them changing the route structure any time soon at all - if they were going to do that, they would have done so for the driver who had the route before it was passed to me. What's the strangest part of all is that despite my days being 14+ hours of driving and work, I still don't feel nearly as physically drained or exhausted at the end of it as I did with the old route. Yes, there are times on the return trip where I have to shift my body around frequently to keep myself attentive, but I don't have the similar sensation as I had before where being late would make me feel markedly angrier at everything, nor that I could just fall into a heap once I arrived home. I've had no time for exercising this week, and I sacrificed a half hour of sleep at the end of the day in the name of playing a few songs just to have something to do in my day other than sleep, shower, eat, and work. At the moment I'm writing this it is 616PM - if this were a standard weekday and I were to have the kind of post-work activity as I did today (which is more similar to what I used to have), I would still need to shower and be awake for the next work day in less than three hours. I find it very difficult to believe that something about how this route played out this week will permanently change in the coming days, so that leaves me little choice but to suffer with this until I am removed from the route, voluntarily or not.

As can be inferred from the previous paragraph, my entires for the song sessions now will probably be limited to weekends. So it goes. I have no way of knowing if that Elektrik U Phoria judgment entry is correct, but it seems absurd from looking at the differential against the old record.

Oh, yeah, I should mention. Company visit highlight. He was using his phone to try to quickly find an audio clip of the "ain't nobody got time for that" line, and wasn't able to do so. He asked how to spell "ain't". I asked how he thought it was spelled. His response was A N T. He is a Junior in High School. He has a driver's permit. This is our future.
