When I let
Discipline down
There’s only one thing to do

As some of you have noticed, I’ve been getting up at 4am for the past couple of weeks. This is antithetical to my usual mode of being, which would have me working until 4am. This goes back to when I was a child, and I’d stay up till 4 or 5 reading under my duvet with a lamp, then have to be kicked out of bed to go to school. Some of my earliest jobs involved having to get up at what I considered ungodly hours - my paper round when I was ten or so, and later my job at Boots The Chemist when I was 14, which had me rising in the dark and walking an hour to get to the job itself, all before the sun rose.

The car door handle factory was the worst because it was the most boring - literally just picking a spring out of a greasy bucket and jamming it into a wedge of plastic then passing it to the old lady to my right, for 12 hours, in a giant air-hangar looking-ass hall with a great big clock looming over us, that ticked with all the lugubrious lurching urgency of a ketamine zombie outside a ...
