    My boss is an ### too. I passed a level 2 this week and he refuses to give me a bonus for doing my job. Can you believe the nerve of that guy?

    We were across St Joseph delivering at Home Depot. And last night, we had to deliver across the street from said D.C. Guess where I'm at right now?

    Being across the street I wouldn't start my clock until 1 hour prior to me leaving after finishing up on the trailer swap.

    Yeah, I've already dropped my trailer. Just waiting on word that our load is ready, then I'll clock in once I've hooked up. My trainer isn't letting me burn my clock up when there's no need for it.

    Shoot... I'm still on trainee pay. $500. Gross. Won't see actual percentage for a few more weeks, when I'm in my own truck.

    Last couple days have been weird. Picked up a couple of new drivers for my board but it's still not enough to keep me busy all day, so today I drove the only automatic we've got and took a guy with me who's having a license issue to do the tarping and put together a bunch of preloads. Ended up driving around 350 miles altogether and can say with absolute assurance that I despise automatics. Dang things just won't do what you need them to do. However, it was nice to be driving again. Rehab is going pretty well, the therapist is working on getting me back up to full strength by having me do some of the most ridiculous exercises known to medical science. What do I know, I just do what she tells me, in part because she's smoking hot.

    More later...
