Might've lucked out big time! Trailer technician position I started today.

After a torrent of mediocre and not so promising yard jockey interviews back to back within 2 weeks I landed what I find will be a great deal more fun and interesting role, trailer technician.

Naturally when I get stressed out I forget whatever I just learned and I am forced to endure the "empty head syndrome" which just angers the boss even more. I have talent like that. So I am sitting in a local library waiting or traffic to die down, filling out work paperwork and trying to write out everything that I hopefully still remember from my first day.

I will hold my test date for middle of this summer and work like hell to get the behind the wheel training paid for, or I will reschedule the road test when I am more ready. Despite landing a role I hope will be as fun as today was, I am not slacking off by not testing out on my class A road test.

I like my boss, I like my coworkers, I like the work. Its been a long time since I have felt this giddy to go to work!

 

Hold on 6 days in, this shop has 90% turnovers since this new service manager took over.

DUIs, disorderly conduct, battery, DANCO, he had been convicted and sentenced 8 times in 20 years for substance abuse and violence related offenses. Why in the hell has fedex not known about his criminal history. This is really scary.

Yup going to find another job and find a job within a month.

I would think a mega corporation would have stricter controls.
