It was the hog head street dance last night (named after the trains from the olden days) and shit what a night. Didn't stay too long and didn't drink at all. Saw my friend Snuffy girlfriend but couldn't find anyone else there. Sorry Snuffy about the shit I had to tell you about last night! That's all I'm going to say here about that.
This week at work:
Hum where should I begin? Not too bad of a week until the end. Fueling my truck at one of our terminals the dam pump hoes flew out of the tank and sprayed me with diesel fuel from head to toe. While trying to get out of the way I slipped on the fuel and hurt my ankle, knee, arm, and my jaw. My knee and arm took the worst of the injury. I might have to get a tetanus shot but I'm waiting for more symptoms to develop. I didn't know you can die from tetanus? http://my.webmd.com/search/search_results?query=tetanus&filter=mywebmd_all_filter&channelId=&SUBMIT1=Go%21
So I'm not dead yet since it's been since Thursday night at about 9pm. Also where losing drivers left and right lately? why? too much stress! Talking to Big daddy he says that 15 drivers have left in the last month just out of one of our terminals. Then there's my home terminal where the turn over rate has always been high but not the senior drivers leaving, that's what's going on, 2 or more year drivers are old farts here. Mother Goose is a woman driver (she didn't get the handle for Top Gun movie either) and she cleaned out her truck on Friday and still to my knowledge hasn't turned in her keys yet but is thinking about it. She's worked there for i think 6 years. I'll miss her! if she quits!!! There have been allot of unhappy drivers including me. Maybe I should move to this company: http://www.halvorlines.com there having a driver appreciation week this week and recruiting blitz thingy. I don't know if I can take a 10 to 15 thousand pay cut though but they treat there drivers like family there, so they say on there trucks? Other driver I've talked to there say it's true and they really like working there even if there not making the money they use to.
So I have to leave today to goto Janesville, WI for 9:30am tomorrow. I think I've delivered there before so it shouldn't be too hard of a start but it's only 370 miles again. I say, "where is the long runs?" I never get-em! Just this short shit with lot's of drops and waiting at docks.
So with my frustration of this last week I asked for a weeks vacation starting on Sept 11. Yep 911, I don't want to be working on that day for I feel it in my physic powers that something is going to happen on that day again or close to it. I'm going to the doggybizkits house the to the: http://www.renaissancefest.com/minnesota-main.htm then back to the dogs house to hang out, I can't wait...yes I can it will be fun "I hope" Congrats to bubbles and the doggybizkit they found farm land to get there horses down to the USA finally! I better call them this morning to see if they land deal when through but the way bubbles was talking yesterday it should.
This has been a long blog entry so I better stop while I'm ahead "Bye-Bye"
