    In '72 uncle says go deliver that gravel
    I says I can't drive the Auto Car it has 2 sticks
    so he says you will know how by the end of the day
    or you will learn how to rebuild a transmission this weekend
    no wonder i drank or ended in AA

    If there is one thing that pisses me off the most about this company is the fact that I always seem to be on call and waiting every other Tuesday to get my load out of the house. Sorry, I don't have the patience nor the understanding to accept this. I really don't want to hear that they are loading trucks around me because they need to move them and oh yeah, you're home. My hometime is up, I now fall into the ranks of being empty and ready to roll. Me's thinking I'll need to stop by the bosses office this week and discuss this issue......But hey, I am still very much in the honeymoon stage, even after 2.5 years.

    Only trouble is each message might be several pics to get the whole thing... Just trying to find a way to automate the data... instead of having to write it all down each time... Or type it into another program... But it works well without too... Just seems to be an app for the rest of the processes... QC messages with just have to be the outlier.

    Guess you will just need to take fewer but longer trips home... Fewer frustrations that way... ;-)

    And a honeymoon stage lasting 2.5 years... Awesome!!!

    it has been said don't sweat the small stuff
    it is all small stuff
    I have worked hard and been unemployed
    made a lot of money and been broke
    what memories i cherish aren't the big expensive homes or vacations
    it is the time with friends talking about the times with friends
    most of those came during unemployed nervous financial times

    Don't sweat the petty things and never pet the sweaty things.

    Amen to good times with friends,
    no matter the circumstances.
