    Try it; that's a good idea. Only thing the jerks can do is give you the paperwork and rush you out of the building. They have no other authority.

    Oh no?

    They sure as shooting can call those that do. Quarantine the entire facility and declare a medical infectious emergency and slap everyone into the bubble and ruin the inventory spraying the beejus out of everything.

    In much better times that would have worked. It would not be the first time. For me it's usually a cup of coffee, a rather smallish amount. Tip that over the desk or half door counter at the shipping office,watch the liquid spread on the horrified clerk's desk below. Pull out a linen square with a green dyed spot in the middle (Wadded up of course) and attempt (Clean already) to work the liquid getting into the papers.

    And the company wonders why there is coffee on the BOLs ive sent them.

    Its a small thing to hurry things along once in a blue moon.

    That begs the question, there were no energy drinks in those days that movie was built. Where in the world did they find francis anyway. Hit him with a dose of epi or something.

    Thats about what we are running into here.

    I usually don't go anywhere until 103.5 myself if it does not burn too painfully by then. My limit is 104.2 anything above that call the funeral home.

    I was sick (mostly better now). When I showed up at a shipper a couple of days ago, there was no hiding it due to my voice being messed up. That was the fastest I was ever live loaded, and paper work handed over.
     
    Lite bug, x1Heavy and tarmadilo Thank this.
