Daily Diary (DD) - Day 45 of 2023

1604hrs:

Day 254 at Maqbool Bhat Shaheed Square - Dadyaal.

0918hrs

Attendance = 100%

Punctuality = 69%

176 days on time or early of 254

Punctuality surplus = 516 minutes 

Punctuality Consistency Status = 0 days 

Hours completed at Square = 456

Note: Our break in the previous 24 hours was c. 14.5 hours (between 1830hrs and 0918hrs this morning). It was the longest break yet, in the 19 days of fulfilling what is effectively being on duty almost round the clock. 

I had a splitting headache, onset of flu and a disorientated stomach from yesterday afternoon all at once. By 1830hrs I felt it prudent to take respite at home and avoid the chilly air.

Having said all that, I did venture out just before midnight to the Square to check on matters. It did become a long winded 'overstay' at home ultimately as we suffered our first punctuality lapse after 18 days (equalling the previous consistency record thus far). It's back to square 1 in that respect. 

This also meant that after achieving our record overall punctuality performance of 70% yesterday, it has dropped back down to 69% overnight due to the lapse this morning.
