 It isn't really shocking that I got dumped with another Cheniere load. I reminded my manager that he had told me that he would make it up to me.  I heard nothing back from him - as is his want - i therefore communicated again. He replied and said everything is shut down, only 1 load went out yesterday and 2 the day before.  

I get what he's saying, the loading plant has had issues for a couple of weeks now.  But he's played this game with me several times.  He's bumped me from good runs to s*** runs several times as well, finally figuring out that I am getting a run these -4 drivers I have found out now - can't do because they "don't know how to unload".  

FOUR drivers out of 14. Such bs, it irritates me.  So, I am going to waste a total of 6 days for 2 crud loads.  2 days for the first load, a day off in between, 2 days for tomorrow and then at least another day off.  Next week's paycheck will be slim pickings. 

I suppose I could think back to the days of Ferguson where the amount made on this paycheck will still be more than 2 weeks pay there after the new manager cut out all of our overtime.  It's all in the perspective, right? Knowing that other drivers will be making a lot more money than I am making simply because of a lame excuse, however, doesn't set well with me at all.  

I wasn't going to argue with my manager, simply make my position clear - as I have been.  I will volunteer to be a 'certified trainer' if that's what it 'takes to get these people doing the same thing everyone else has to do. We don't have a constant influx and people leaving like other divisions do, once you get them all trained there are no more excuses.

Okay, well I'm about to start this day.  Another waste of my time and dealing with overly authoritarian security guards who act as if they are protecting the President or something. Perhaps there will be different guards there today, I had never experienced that much of it before the other day.
