Today my son and daughter arrived home early,very early from work. The substation in the area went down and with no power most businesses closed down for the day.It wasn't a planned power cut, but it looked genuine. To be honest we don't know anymore what is real and what isn't.
The staff had all been sent home when my daughter received a phone call that a container had arrived.I was busy doing my own work, but couldn't ignore the predicament they were now in.More hands make light work and I volunteered.I am not a spring chicken anymore and probably not as fit as I should be. I can feel it now as I am a little stiff. The problem is they don't have a loading bay so everything is offloaded by hand onto pallets.There was 2 ladies and 2 males and we all did our bit.
I hope they learn to check for things like this in the future before letting everyone go.My first question was who knew about it and where are they? It sounded like my son cocked this up and at least he was there helping. this may have done him some good as this was like a kick up the pants.
It could have been worse and there could have been two or three of them which is not uncommon for them. Two hours of physical work was not what I had planned when I woke up this morning and may have done me some good.Maybe tomorrow my body will tell me otherwise. I really need to get back into shape and this could go down as day one. Tomorrow I will do something else even if it is a short 15 minute run.
