Tuesday - morning

I'm sorry the company is having driver issues. People who do not want to work probably shouldn't be - working.  Go live off the government I guess.  Trucks breaking down is not my responsibility either. They have an old fleet, this is expected. Having a lot of trucks break down at the same time? What do they expect? And they are too cheap to rent tractors while the trucks are in the shop. So, they put the contracts in jeopardy of losing them by not getting product to its intended destination on time.

Late shows are a big thing when you are hauling liquids that will shut down an entire plant if they run out.  

And if I get sick once in a while? It's been quite a while since I was last sick, some time last year.  It is what it is.  I'm not going to work. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I truly am, but I feel like hell and have stayed in bed the entirety of yesterday excepting going to the bathroom and a couple visits to the kitchen and today I did until 8 am.  The 11 year is graduating elementary school. Yes, it's a thing nowadays to graduate elementary and middle school. Older generations will remember the only graduations were from high school.

Times have changed. So we went, the boy was given a certificate and a couple of awards and that was that. I am now back home and doing absolutely nothing.  How do you get better if you keep working or moving around too much? Well, it takes a lot longer.  You will likely, eventually get better but why drag it out? And feeling like this? No thank you. 

Oh I have plenty of things I could be doing, beyond work.  I kind of feel bad for the manager, this company puts him into impossible situations.  The driver quitting didn't help anything tho it certainly didn't bother me that that particular individual is now gone.  There is another driver who only does 2 runs per week, he could be doing 3 when times are demanding it?  I rarely ever  tell my manager no when he's asking for a favor - which is usually no small thing. A complete alteration to my plans, I don't like having to cut plans short because they want me to either drop what I am doing or continue to keep working when I was scheduled off.

I have nothing right now beyond this. Bed is calling my name.
