 I hate mornings as every day I have this amd rush to get the kids fed and ready for school before I leave
	I hate mornings as every day I have this amd rush to get the kids fed and ready for school before I leaveI get up at 6.00 and leave at 7.30 which should be plenty of time but it never is.
I go to bed around 11.30 if I have work and wake up at 6 so 6.5 hours is normal for me. I get much less at the weekend because I go to bed at 2-3am and the kids still wake up at 6.30

 I'm hopeless at sleeping.
	I'm hopeless at sleeping. I wake up at half seven regardless of how late I go to bed. If I try to go to bed extra early, I just wake up that much earlier. Last night I forced myself to stay up until half ten (which was a fucking struggle) and then couldn't get to sleep until one. Then I woke up at half six.
The missus, on the other hand, can sleep all day of given the opportunity. Fucking bitch. She's asleep right now. She'll probably lie in until about ten.

 Who wants an update in the saga of the guy that got the job over me?!!
	Who wants an update in the saga of the guy that got the job over me?!!No-one? OK!
He's emailed me again because I didn't respond to their bribe. This time he needs to know how to migrate users in to his server via LDAP. I have been less polite and told him that I'm far too busy to run around teaching him how to do his job and suggested he contact his own IT department.
I am still confused as to 1. how he got the job and 2. Why they are contacting me when I don't work for them or for the company that provided to server they are trying to use.
ALSO! NO-ONE CARES!
