Lawrenceville, GA

Turns out I didn't really need to be concerned about having the hours to get home after my delivery last night. Despite having requested over a week ago to be home by today, I was given another load that picked up this morning 156 miles from home. My delivery last night was about 45 miles from home. Not sure where the logic was in that decision. What. Ever. Dude.

As mentioned, my delivery last "night" was scheduled for 3:30am. Fortunately, they let all the trucks in to start unloading at midnight. Four hours later, I was unloaded and ready to make my next pick-up. Not wanting to start my 14-hr clock earlier than necessary, I hung out 'til around 5am before making the drive south. I arrived just as the recycling center was opening and was loaded a couple hours later. I guess the good part was all the Atlanta rush-hour traffic had cleared out by the time I went back through.

So I did a little math and realized I haven't had a full day off at home in 19 days. Unfortunately, I think that's a record for me. I'll enjoy a couple days at home before heading back out.
