word to the third!
alright...the boss comes around individually and tells each of us what shift we're on come feptembruary 19st (first communique I've heard him give for months now). I expected to be thrown onto 2nd (being one of the lowest on the seniority totem pole) leaving me to work with the same lame boss I got now, but to my surprise, he tells me I'm on third (10pm-6am). awesome! I got Sam for a boss! he's a good guy and a good boss! I ask him if it'll be a 5 day work week or 7? he vaguely guessed that it may be 6 or 7 for awhile until they hire a weekend crew...ok, here's hopin' it's not forever. I'll roll with it for awhile and give it a try. it won't hurt to make some extra cabbage for a spell to pay down me loans. I'm pretty ecstatic that they've even reconsidered 8's! this twelve hour swing shift is for the damn birds!
we got out of work 2 hours early last night due to running out of rails. here's hopin' we can make tonight's stint a shorty too, so as I can start my mid-week "weekend" early. I gotta grocery shop, and do whatever else that need be done on Tuesday, so Brian (almost room mate/neighbor) can borrow my truck on Wed. and Thurs. seems his truck is in the shop getting the whole motor replaced
. one of his timing chains had gone bad (I Thought motors only had one timing chain...guess not?) , so instead of fixing that he's poppin' a new used rubber band motor in. that's gotta be costin' him plenty. I almost considered doing that with my little truck before I went and crashed it last year...Brian (almost room mate/neighbor) borrows my snow blower the other day. does his drive, his neighbors drive, and then mine (diggit!) while I slept (being I had to work the night shift that night). we got dumped on pretty good Sunday, but now, of course, it's sunny and above freezing (high 30's), so a lot of it has melted away.
shave, shower, shite in order to get ready for another stint at the stalag (TGI"F")
