Went to the Ren Fest this weekend. While there, I realized something funny. It seems to me that the majority of the people attending were the people who normally make fun of people that attend these events.
Made great progress in a book I've been wanting to read today. I guess slow freight times are good for something after all. This is the first Dean Koontz book I've ever read. So far it's pretty good, but my friends keep telling me it's his best and, if that's true, there's nowhere to go but down from this one. I'm going to give him...

This is eons late, but I just saw your comment on the video of me and my dog. I'm glad his ear flapping gave you a happy memory for the day
HW has horrible timing with it, usually reserving it for minutes after I've gotten both kids down for bedtime.

I started out the week on a conference call with my boss and his supervisor because one of our other drivers snitched on me for complaining about the company on a blog. They threatened to fire me if it happened again. By the end of the week, I was telling them to stick this job up their hiney (pardon the language) that I didn't care if they fired me. Apparently, they weren't as prepared to fire me as they thought they were. Maybe next week.

Get 'em!
I decided that since my trip to the movies yesterday didn't end up in a homicide, I would try it again today. I made it just in time for the first showing of 30 Minutes Or Less. I won't mention the lady in front of me who was buying 7 child tickets and one adult ticket for the first showing of The Smurfs 3D that...

Sounds like you're making the best of being stranded. I've met some of the most interesting people at times when I've found myself in a stuck situation. Best of luck.
mr_mcwolf:
You said a mouthful there Shooter. You should see some of the characters floating around our terminal. It's almost frightening to know that these people are roaming free.
I took advantage of the fact that I still don't have a load and went to the movies today. Decided on Fright Night and it didn't disappoint. How can you go wrong with McLovin as a vampire? The soundtrack for the movie seemed to be a good one also. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Walt Disney Distribution is the distributor of the...

Once again I find myself in a situation that is all too familiar. My truck had to go in the shop on Wednesday. It's now Friday and my boss has went home to his family for the weekend while I sit 1000 miles from home with no load to run and no prospect of getting one until at least Monday. That will be 6 days...

Pics from my camera phone!
How is it that I spend 30 minutes on the phone with customer service in another country and get nothing but pissed off? If I get the same answers from someone who I can understand, I accept that I'm getting ass-raped by my phone carrier.
rsclady:
Who is your carrier?
mr_mcwolf:
Sprint. When I asked to speak with someone in the U.S., I was told that their phone system is like a lottery and I would have to continue calling until it put me through to someone here. I guess they thought I wouldn't do it.
Finally got my .40 cal out of hock. Can't wait to get to the range with it Sunday. There's just something about going through a few hundred rounds of ammo that soothes the savage beast within.
It's one of those days where I just want to rip shit apart. Fortunately, I've taken an oath to do no harm to inanimate objects. Any willing victims out there?
I missed a day of my one line blogs. Oh shit. I'll never get into college now.
