Medicine Man, I have read this thread and have a lot of respect for you. You are a fighter and ingenious and through it all have kept a sense of humor. Most people could not have put up with such adversity. It takes a strong person to do so. I am sure your story is not even close to being over.
BTW most employers would be thrilled to have a person like you working for them.
Good luck man.

Ain't nothing wrong with a little re-grouping action. The good thing about a plan is that it's modifyable.

ya, not so much really.. lol


only if they let me do it my way

which the best boss I ever had in WI,(the one who I pulled medical scanners for)did. And i'd still to this day do anything he asked if he called me and asked for a hand. he earned my loyalty and respect by giving it himself.

the vast majority of bosses never figure that out. They want to bully and intimidate people into doing what they want and all the does is breeds contempt and eventually a guy won't take it anymore

I appreciate all the suport I've gotten from people. I tend to forget how many people read my mindless ramblings. Allot of times I end up regreating some things I post when i'm mad or upset so I guess i'm just happy only a few people think i'm pathetic (they're out there trust me, i get the PM's)

I'm just some guy with few options trying to support my wife and son. Ironicly i'll be lucky if I come out the other end of this with both of them still around

I don't have a load home. And with the holiday weekend nothing will be posted. Landstar unfortunatly rarely has anything posted on the weekend. It's one big issue I have with there system. The agents say they work 24/7 but just try and get one on the phone outside a 9-5 m-f.
