    I will vouch for you if that helps. It probably won't though. What I mean by that is it probably won't mean much coming from me.

    I'd like to know who the hell was in charge of that decision. Seeing some of the rocket scientists they're hiring lately has me shaking my head.

    Getting ready to do the night shift the next two nights. On my way to Coppell Tx for Saturday morning. This now starts my trek across the country to get my happy ### home for Christmas.

    @Evomalo & @JohnBoy, I thought the same thing about our Cranky friend. I only had 6 months solo when Abilene hired me. Guess Sally and Kurtis saw something that our dear Kolon didn't, or I suppose I should say doesn't since he still gives me a hard time. But to not hire our "beloved" Cranky is just wrong. I've seen some of these new folks. Whoa! That's all I can say. I'm not the best or the brightest, but I CAN find my way out of a wet paper bag.

    @Cranky, you should reapply just for you-know-what's & giggles. See what they say. It's run completely different now.

    Compared to Cranky I suck at driving a truck. Especially at backing. I will never ever be in the same league as JohnBoy.
