  • 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 replacedshocked.  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")
