    My wife was the translator. Really though, the peoples second language there is English, not the English that we destroy here in the states, but the real English from England.

    I’m delayed coming out of the house by a day, both my wife and I came down with colds. No Gatorade for me.

    I believe that's called the "I don't really want to come back to work after that awesome vacation flu". I've not experienced that type of flu, but I hear it's pretty bad. Might have to make it a couple more days off. Gatorade will still be there when you do come out.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    They do say that you want to drink lots of fluids when you're sick, so clearly Gatorade is helpful there.
     
    Barn Door Bill, JohnBoy and RebelChick Thank this.

    Ok, 2 weeks off, last 3 days getting over this cold I finally go back to work tomorrow. I did get a surprise phone call from dispatch, my last trainee, Pablo, decided to come back. I’ll be picking him up Friday when I get back to Richmond. One side note, I parked my truck 2 weeks ago today, I finally went to get it ready today, its been off for 2 full weeks and started right up. I was quite impressed.
     
    Lonesome, runningman0661 and Vic Firth Thank this.

    Anyone know the location of that drop yard we use in northern California?. I've been there once but don't remember if it was CRE or USX so not having any luck googling it.

    Man, this has been my week for putting in detention. Had an appointment Tuesday night at 11:00pm. Didn't even get assigned a door until 4:30am the next day, and didn't leave until after 6:00am. (And then I had to go back and get the load reworked because they'd put too much up in the front of the trailer, which ate up another three hours. Which, yes, I added to the detention.)

    And now I'm here at one of our deli meat/cheese suppliers waiting on a load to go to BH Forrest City. Been here three hours and change and haven't been assigned a door yet. Detention clock is ticking.
     
    Silverdriver Thanks this.
