    I hear this!! After the Social Security Fairness Act was passed I was due a 400 a month raise in my Social Security. Now Social Security is saying it is going to take them a year to get it figured out. They will end up having to pay me a two year lump sum back pay with the raise. I can only hope to live long enough to collect it!!! Grrrrrr

    IRS has teams of Lawyers figuring out how to give with one hand, and take with the other.
    Something tells me we are going to see big changes to the whole concept of taxes.

    I am such a blabbermouth I wonder if I was talking when I should have been listening. One thing I learned today was that jbhunt not only records phone conversations but also every word that's said when inside the building. Eeek.

    What happened was: got to work after 1 day off and check engine lite on. Shop said it would be around 2 hours to get it in. Went to "manager" my regular manager leaves early so I was dealing with his helper. I volunteered that if it were only 2 or 3 hours to get underway it wouldn't make sense to give me a new truck cuz it takes 2 hours to "move" plus I don't want to give up my truck. I thought i was clearly referring to getting assigned a whole new "forever" truck.

    However.. ended up waiting 6 hours for repair to complete and when I was denied hourly breakdown pay it's because "helper" said he offered me a day cab for the day and I refused. But I wouldn't have refused, would have happily accepted.

    I asked for a sit down review of that recorded conversation. I'm pretty upset but what if I was busy blabbering over the top of him and didn't hear the offer?

    Either way, I talk too much. Gloom.

    I wouldn’t sweat it. Unless you were swearing or threatening him or screaming just review it. If he didn’t communicate clearly it was a daycab and temporary then it’s on him. If he did offer it and you missed it then say “oh I’m sorry, I’m a little slow sometimes and I missed it was a daycab not permanent, my bad”.if they have a problem with that then I don’t know what to say. I think you’re worrying too much. Plus you can just say your hearing ain’t what it used to be due to that loudmouth goat.
