Hate Mondays!
Just can't get my brain in gear, so jet lagged it's unreal.
Got back from a 5 day stint in the US and I just can't kick the lag! Going there isn't a problem, instantly join their time. Coming back always kills me. Last year it took me two weeks before I could peel myself out of bed without the missis having to kick me in the face everytime the 2 alarms went off.
Anyone got a holiday coming up they want me to go on

Re: Hate Mondays!
You have my sympathies BG. The US-UK route is a killer for jet lag. Any West-to-East flight crocks me. Glad I don't do the Korea trips any more.
Don't take it personally......

Re: Hate Mondays!
Mondays are even worse when they come on a Tuesday: that's when my Monday is this week, (got to go and do some work tomorrow).
One day it will all be firewood.

Re: Hate Mondays!
Had enough for today, just about to finish after playing catchup. So I've booked a day off tomorrow to spend with the wee man.
Might make Wednesday easier when I'm up at 5 to get to Reading.....oh the joys.
You are right though K_E, it's always West to East that hurts. Only trumped by a night time flight from South Africa to the UK......long flight, same damn timezone sucks ass.

Re: Hate Mondays!
Mondays are great it's technically half way through my week who's silly idea was it to start the working week on a Friday at my place
A meeting is an event where minutes are taken and hours wasted.

Re: Hate Mondays!
I just realised that my year end is June and I've got 15 holiday days left......
Better get booking, I done this last year too and upset everyone. I've got lots of travel booked in too, so it's even worse!
Hmmm....BG

Re: Hate Mondays!
First thing when you land eat the meal for the time of day where in the world you are, whether you're hungrey or not, its all about adjusting you body clock, works better than anything else I've tried.
I thought all builders knew the most important organ was the stomach.

Re: Hate Mondays!
Sadly I'm no builder, I'm actually a fraud. I do like breakfasts though (and every other meal). Perhaps it's the 12 meals a day where I've been going wrong?The man with no aim wrote:First thing when you land eat the meal for the time of day where in the world you are, whether you're hungrey or not, its all about adjusting you body clock, works better than anything else I've tried.

Re: Hate Mondays!
My holiday year ends on March 31st and I've still got 7 days left to take. Will have a week off and let the company have the two odd days (or even book a Friday and Monday off for a long weekend)BillyGoat wrote:I just realised that my year end is June and I've got 15 holiday days left......

Re: Hate Mondays!
I'm strictly cattle class when flying with work. Worked out I'll be silver BA in April though, so at least I'll get the lounge and free food
