    Thanks for reading, glad you're having fun! Stick around as things will be shaken up with this move back to Celadon--things have changed there so I'm back to square one in some ways. Hoping they have improved! If not then I'm in for some "I-told-you-so" action from the disagreers, and I would have it coming.

    (NOTE: To those of you sharpening their knives and arrows, please refrain from launching until a proper pattern of suck has been established--a bad day or week does not make a company the Antichrist. Thank you.)
     
    Dominick253 and RMU91 Thank this.

    All done, BT to Walmart for a snack, off duty drive back to yard, get rental car and see doctor in the morning then back to yard to clean out truck.

    Final duty is a favor to dispatch (get permits and IFTA updated on truck--no problem, glad to help out).

    Check in at Celadon tomorrow afternoon. If tax docs are in then hair pulling tomorrow. If not then need home time early February.

    No dog this visit, never in the plans--gotta get settled first to provide a relaxed atmosphere.

    Been offered temp control. Might take it since the wage lock program changes the complexion of that division--the whole program puts pressure on the planners to get the driver above the threshold and keep him there (although there is more pressure on the driver to keep his nose clean and cross all his "T"s--not really an issue for me since I'm such a goody two shoes prissy pants).

    Yeah, I said that. Got a problem with that? Huh? HUH!??

    Phredd--deep six 'em if they laugh.

    (Looks around to find self alone) Oh, yeah, right.
     
    Dominick253 and Panhandle flash Thank this.

    Thanks much! Diet/exercise, and Glyxambi 5.0mg 1X along with the Metformin. Doctor said she credits the diet/exercise because the meds alone can't do that much improvement (swelling head).
     
    Bumper and TB John Thank this.

    At storage facility, digging out our birth certificates. Then to yard to check in.

    Apparently, EVERYTHING has changed including orientation (used to be four days now two and a half) so I'm starting more or less from scratch.
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    Drug test, done. One less thing for me to do Monday. We got a dorm room, saving me $250 in hotel costs for The Hot Chick.
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    Congratulations, Zoom. I'm catching up to that mark, fast.

    Good luck at Celadon. I hope your return there is both prosperous and rewarding for you and (with all due respect) your wife, Hot Chick.
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    Thanks RMU! (And she prefers THE Hot Chick; Her Royal Highness is rather particular about the honorific)

    Good work on the numbers CZ. It takes a lot at your age(no disrespect) to lose that much weight.

    Good luck at Celadon. Hope all comes up on the shiny side. I like reading your philosophical posts more than the problem posts.
