<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snazzy, post: 525506, member: 9499&quot;]Yep PJW044, if only there wasn&#039;t a law against it, as Life Goes On. </p><p><br /></p><p>Darline was wearing a pair of tight fitting cutoffs, a strapless teeshirt, and had her hair in a ponytail. I sat down at the table while she served up the fried chicken, taters &amp; gravy, sweetcorn, home made biscuits, and apple pie. </p><p><br /></p><p>I poured the iced tea, &quot; You didn&#039;t have to do all of this. I could of ..&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Darline cut me short, &quot; I wanted to and your landlord; Mr Hook ? He loaned me his car, so I went shopping, stopped at the bank, did our laundry, and decided to cook. How is it ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I dug in, &quot; It&#039;s good ! Where did you learn to cook like this ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Darline blushed, &quot; I just picked it up, I guess. So, how was your day ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Knock, knock, &quot;&nbsp; Wonder who that&nbsp; is ?&nbsp; COME IN&nbsp; !&nbsp; &quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Dan entered, &quot; I&#039;m sorry, I didn&#039;t know that you were eating. &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I stood, &quot; That&#039;s alright ! Dan, this Darline; Darline this is Dan. He&#039;s the TLX shop foreman and real pain in my ### ! &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Darline slapped my shoulder, &quot; You better behave ! Dan, don&#039;t pay him any attention. Have a seat and join us. &quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Dan sat, &quot; Man ! This looks good and I&#039;m starved ! Say Barn, the reason I came over was to find out; what&#039;s going on&nbsp; ? I haven&#039;t seen you and didn&#039;t know what the deal was ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I filled Dan in on my travels and what not. No ! I didn&#039;t mention who Darline was. Well, you know what&nbsp; I mean ! Anyway after stuffing ourselves full we decided to hit the Pirates Den. You know, Mr Hook&#039;s bar and grill. Darline went as she was and all eyes widened, as she wiggled in. Mr Hook set us up and flirted with you know who. No ! Not me ! Darline ! Anyway, she decided to throw some darts and that gave Dan a chance to speak freely, &quot; So, I hear that your our new GM ! &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I lit up, &quot; Yeah, finally. You know, Junior had promised me that quite awhile back. Oh, have you heard from him lately ? &#039;&#039;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Dan lit his cigar, &quot; No; last I heard, him and his mother were still at it. That Pompous guy is a real pain in the ###. He&#039;s worst than&nbsp; Ed, Ma Crook, and Junior all put together ! So, what are your plans ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I blew smoke, &quot; I don&#039;t have any ! Dan, all of the uppity ups care about is making money and screwing everybody !&nbsp; Now, if it were up to me. The first thing that would happen, is a pay raise for the drivers. I&#039;d&nbsp; rewrite those leases too and see that those operators get a fair shake. I&#039;d let you hire on three more mechanics and give you all a raise. I&#039;d...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed appeared, &quot; Why didn&#039;t you called me ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I lied, &quot; I was just getting ready to ! Where&#039;s uh, ...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed read my mind, &quot; She&#039;s working late at the office. She&#039;s who sent me over here to check on you.&nbsp; So, what did you find out ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I took a swig, &quot; Well, I&#039;m the GM, but there&#039;s a Mister Pompous ###, who is over me. He&#039;s suppose to train me and Big Man is coming down sometime next week.&nbsp; Ed, that&#039;s all, that I know. &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed gave Dan the Look, &quot; Dan, give us a minute ! &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Dan got the hint, &quot; I&#039;ll go and keep Darline company. &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed had to ask, &quot; Who&#039;s Darline ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I lied, &quot; Oh, just some chick that works here. &quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed took a seat, &quot; Now, Barney ! Here&#039;s what we need you to do ! Ma and I decided to fight fire, with fire. Your just in the right position to do what&#039;s needed. Now tomorrow, I want you to insert this CD into your computer. Now, once it&#039;s loaded, just key run program file, eve. TLX ppfu. &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I eyed the CD, &quot; What&#039;s that going to do ? &quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed had an evil grin, &quot; You just do it ! We&#039;ll worry about the rest. Now, I&#039;ll know the minute it&#039;s done, so make sure you do it ! &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I paused, &quot; Ed, I&#039;m sure about this ! I mean, if ...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed didn&#039;t want to hear it, &quot; There&#039;s a lot at stake here and you need to decide, on whose side your on ! Barney, we&#039;re all counting on you and we&#039;ll be forever grateful. So, what do you say ? &quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, what could I say ? I mean, other than yes, or no. So, I finally gave in, but not really. You know, I had all night to think about it and&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t&nbsp;&nbsp; sure what to do. Yep, it seemed that no matter what I did, or who I did it to. Well, you know what I mean ! I mean, this was nuts ! There I was in a position to prove myself and show how well I could.. Wait a minute ! What the hell was I doing ? I never wanted to be tied to a desk and be part of the system. Nope ! All I ever wanted, was to run the open road and earn the big bucks. Gees, no wonder drivers end up. Well, you know what I mean, as Life Goes On. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nightie night Snazzers, your Snazzy1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
