    when you go from glass half full/empty to "WHO'S BEEN DRINKING OUT OF MY FREEKING GLASSES", you'll be in the similar frame of mind I was in most of the last few years I was there.

    My appointment times never matched on those loads. You'd get there before the time on Crete's load info only to be told you were way late and had to be squeezed in when they could get to you. I never liked that place.

    That reminds me of Sunday night.
    I hate having to go outside to smoke, one time I lost half a bottle, later I came back in and the bottle was gone.
    the dude next to me was drinking the same brand.

    2 Canadian geese and their kids were standing on the shoulder, one of the big geese steps in my lane. These bat wings really guided the feathers out the back. It sucks, but they really should have taught the youngsters to fly.

    In Minneapolis parked on a side street for the night... I'd have searched out a truck stop but I have no interest in battling rush hour traffic here in the am for my 730am delivery. Tomorrow morning I FINALLY get to get rid of the 36 cases of refused freight from the cluster fck that was my Friday night delivery in KY. Our awesome O/S/D people apparently had no idea I had it on the truck despite the numerous messages sent back and forth between my truck and the weekend dispatch people. Go figure. So I have a 12PM appointment to donate food to a food bank. What kind of BS is that? Since when is it a requirement to make an appointment to male a donation (much less one that has me sitting and running down my 14 for 4 hours after my delivery)? Methinks the O/S/D people are playing games with me. I'll go down there at 830 after my delivery and if they want an appointment I'll throw the boxes out and stack them in front of their door so help me god. 5 days of sharing my cab with 36 cases of Slim Jims and sunflower seeds is enough (especially when I can't have any if them).

    Meh. It's actually Slim Jim's version of beef jerky. I wouldn't eat it if I was starving.
