The only thing that I dislike about holidays in general is the way they muck up my schedule.  This current one will be no exception.  

Now, normally, because the holiday falls on a Monday, I would not have to run Sunday night, instead running Monday night and finishing out the week.  I am not in the mood to deal with the returning vacationers on Monday night, so I had thought I could do my run during the day Sunday and then have the whole holiday to be at home. Up until this morning, that was still optional.

I got a text from the terminal manager this morning telling me that due to illness, he would be out and I would need to fill in as TM until he can return to work.  Later on this morning I got a call from the operations manager asking if I could do the run on Sunday since it was going to be next to impossible to find a driver to bring the freight down.  I said it was not a problem, as I was thinking about doing that anyway, so that crisis was solved.  

So, now I have to readjust to a daytime schedule again for I don't know how long -- at least the rest of this week would be my guess unless TM returns sooner -- which means I might be a bit more stressed than usual with having to deal with managerial stuff.  But hey, at least I still get the holiday pay plus what I work Sunday, so I got that going for me.  Which is nice.

I figure if I leave my terminal at or before 6 am, that'll get me to the other terminal around 9 or so, maybe an hour swinging freight from an inbound trailer to the one I'm supposed to take, with unlocking and relocking everything, and hitting the road back to the home terminal, with fuel stop, I should be done by 1:30 pm at the latest.  And, after that, I can get back to doing what I most like to do on the weekends, holiday or no.  Nothing.

Better get ready for bed, that alarm's gonna go off early.
