    What’s the name of this comedy show you’re at? I need to put this in my notes.

    On the bright side, it looks like I'm gonna be here long enough that I'll be able to stop by Quaker Steak and Lube for lunch and get the wings I couldn't get last night.

    You know that driver appreciation cookout you missed? You might want to reschedule it for next year.

    Still here. Have been informed that they will begin loading me as soon as they get back from lunch.

    Must be nice, being able to leave to get lunch and all.

    It only took them a brisk 4 hours to get the wrong freight off my trailer after they discovered their error.

    Weip, nearly 24 hours to minute later, I finally got to leave. There had been another shift change and they had no idea who I was.

    "Are you in a door?" they asked?

    "Like you wouldn't f#$&ing believe" came my reply.

    If I hadn't gone in to give them a little push, I'd probably still be there.

    Now I am freshly showered, I have chicken wings, I have freshly-brewed coffee, and I have a trailer full of pasta that I'm supposed to deliver in Front Royal tomorrow. However, whoever gave me the assignment didn't check my hometime because my hometime starts tomorrow. So I will be dropping this on the yard tonight and it can be someone else's problem tomorrow.
