What's the hold up?

Yeah so I was all excited to get back to work today. Okay okay you got me. But let's just say I was excited. Nevertheless I was prepared. I even strapped on my steel toe boots. If that doesn't say "lets do this" I don't know what does.

I turned on my company cell phone and saw that I had a message from my boss saying "you're clear to work call john to see what the schedule is". You see, my boss is out of town getting valuable training and this John is filling in as shop manager in his stead. So I call John. Left him a voice mail and waited.

While I waited I figured I'd get a few errands taken care of. So I headed out and about. Still not getting a call back after an hour I decided to text him for info. And as of yet, still no return call or text. And I can't get anyone else to answer me either.

Now either I've been fired and didn't know it or am being avoided. I tend to think the latter is the case. But either way, kinda rude.

I do know that the shop is down to one truck at the moment and so even if I were able to jump in and work I'd have to work with the other two drivers to schedule a time to be in the one truck. So I guess maybe it's better if I wait until my regular shift starts on Sunday so I'm not stuck doing midnights or something crazy like drawing straws with the two other drivers.

I dunno. BAH!

But whatever, changes are on the horizon and if things go well it won't be a concern much longer.

Oooh... bait. Bite fishy bite!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
