Can't say that was ever a problem.  I have always known my days off in advance.  Once while taking Ambien I slept walked to the kitchen and made a bunch of food and then drove to work.  I was awake enough to drive but don't remember doing it. 

Enjoy your time off.

Perch, did somebody say perch?   

I'm in!!!

Went Sunday and got 6.  Big swells made it hard to find good water.  Gonna try again Wednesday, hope the swell dies down.

I work 12 hour rotating shifts. Once came home from the 12th straight summer day shift, took a shower and thought "I'll just lay here on the bed for a bit". Woke up as the sun was going down, thought it was morning and got up and started my routine.  It was strange the kids were up and dressed.

My closest was working the tackle shop all day, headed strait to the bar/club with some of the customers/guides ... party all night & left there at 4:30am ... just in time to open the tackle shop at 5 with the first customers being the same guides I had partied with all that night ... followed by a full 12 hour shift at the tackle shop.  I couldn't have told you what day it was if my life depended on it.

I wait almost all year so I can splurge at the holiday party!  I bet I only have a drink 3-4x a year. :smt009
