After all the years of not being able to sleep at night and then the last few months of not being able to stay awake past 11 pm I was a little worried my night owl had abandoned me. Now it seems my day owl has abandoned me. I did fine last night. Stayed awake for the whole shift. Talked to a bunch of drunk people. Laughed a lot, did lots of paperwork without to many mistakes and came home ready to go to bed. But my owl has different plans for me. They don't seem to include sleep. It is now 2pm and I have to be at work at 10:30pm. I need some sleep or tonight I might not make it without a few major screw ups.
You would be (or maybe you wouldn't be) totally baffled by the people that you deal with in the towing industry at night. One guy called and needed a tow, but he didn't know where he was. If he didn't know, how were we suppose to know? Then there was the lady that came to Vegas for vacation and got a DUI on her way to town and spent her whole vacation in jail. She came for her car at 2 am only to find out it was at a different yard but had to be paid for at our yard. Then the cab took her to the other yard and her car is not drive able. She kept screaming we wrecked her car. Wow, she must have been drunk not to realize she took her little sports car off road and did a 360 with it. $200 in cab fare and a tow bill of $500 and she was no closer to getting back home. Man, will people ever learn it doesn't pay to get drunk and drive?
I almost can't wait for tonight's adventures. I am sure they will be good. I am just glad that we don't unlock the door and they only have a tiny window with bars on it to yell at us through. It is mighty good entertainment though. Well I am off, hopefully to sleep. If not maybe I can pretend to and it will happen anyway. :)
