    This week has been good. I have learned a lot thanks to a willing boss. I told him Friday I feel like Florida is not the south compared to Alabama and Georgia as Florida is made up of Transient northerners. When you have a boss who wants to take the time to teach you a certain industry only a select few know, it makes you want to put 120% into it. I know my dedicated route that I do three times a week. I am loving my job very much. In other news my sister got her big promotion that she was hoping for.

    I went to the doctor for my sinus infection and got bad news. One side is totally not working. The other side is half working. I mainly breathe through my nose so this is bad news. I have had lots of colds this year hence my reasoning for seeing an Ear Nose and Troat doctor. I have allergy testing next week. I feel bad for boss but feel thankful he is such a good man. He allows me to keep my appointments. I told him I am sorry and he said health comes first.

    I fear I may need surgery and this gentleman is not one happy camper if that happens. I can not stand the thought of being out of work for one week. I need money and love my job but my health comes first. The doctor took a sample from my nasal passages. He took a tube and stuck it up there. Big nono as I had a bad sneezing attack. It took two times for me to not sneeze.

    In other news I am going to convert to Catholicism. I have started to attend church as a result of a couple events in my life. I need to find religion and chose Catholicism.

    Business is going good and so is life. I so love my local job and my boss.

    Well guys I have some good news. My boss informed me that I would be learning a route in case our regular driver called in sick. I am in the process learning the stops on that one. I'd like to thank my boss for a lot. The way he handles me, the work we do together and the jokes. Thank you Larry. I love learning under your expert toolage. Anyways this week has been fun with the most being Friday.

    I reported in for duty and loaded with my truck with dry ice for one of our stops. I then checked and made sure my dry ice container was properly secured. I the made my two stops and returned back to the shop. I offloaded my mt's and found out my favorite job was not on my to do list. I love pulling the ice blocks and making bags of ice. It puts my muscles I do not normally use to good use.

    I then proceeded to do shop chores. I sorted out tanks from two pallets and filled Co2 bottles. I took a 30min lunch before my boss ran a quick errand. During that time I swept floors, cleaned out the bathrooms, and emptied out trash. Upon returning, my boss put me on a resupply mission to resupply our route truck. During that time I ran into some storms and got a express wash courtesy of mother nature. After the the resupply mission, we decided to call it a day.

    Don't know why, but for some reason, I was thinking Carbonics was local. Not so. Saw a straight trk in Smyrna, TN yesterday and a tanker going thru AR and OK today. Was a day cab.

    PHP,

    Things are going well. In addition my family is doing well. I love the gig even though i'm averaging 24.5 hrs a week. There are days I love this job to the T and days I dislike it. I like my boss as hes a kind man. Gave me Monday off (labor day). I said no as I like to work but told me I had no choice. I am on a nebulizer for my staph infection. Boss is okay with it as thats not contagious.

    Matt,

    Co2 comes out at -109 degrees which is a whole lot better than -190. Trust me.
