    OM update.

    Have taken the bull, er Tabby by the horns.

    OM isn't used to such a bright place. So got her out from under the bed and put her in the vanity/master bath area.

    Left the linen closet open. Door to shower area open a little for some light.

    Put box and food and water dishes in there.

    She's much more calmed down in the smaller space.

    Broke out a can of Mariners Catch, and it took awhile, but she finally ate about half a dish.

    Gave her, her shot.

    Hope in Mudville.

    Well, I made this... obese woman call her boss.
    I arrived at Frontenac KS, used to be JM Smuckers Pet food, now Diamond Pet Food bought it out, they’ve changed their sampling of loads.
    They hand you 2 ziplock bags, say YOU have to go get samples, with them having a hydraulic probe, they take 5 samples from EACH hopper, and want YOU, to go down the stairs, carrying this big ### tub, baggies, then get the seals, bring them, and climb under and fill baggies and tub with product and carry it back up the stairs to them.

    I balked.
    Told the obese lady, I didn’t take samples, you want the sample, you go do it.
    So she said she’d reject my load, I told her I didn’t care, write on there driver refused to take sample of load, as reason.

    She said that all the other drivers took samples, told her they were grown people, they could do what they wanted, but we’ve established I’m not doing it.

    She called her boss, who actually asked me, if I knew how to do my job,
    I told him that he was a Freakin idiot, who surrounds himself with idiots.
    So, we did as it’s supposed to be, I’m at the trailer, controlling the flow, she got some skinny guy, and her boss had her walk out, and they got the samples.

    I say I’m in the right, they get paid $30 +/hour(start at $30) they think you’ll do their job for free, we already unload it for nothing, I’d say that’s enough.

    Who is Right?

    You are….

    But some people say I have an attitude problem…

    I’d probably have taken all 5 samples off the top 1 minute all done…..
