In fact the largest of the year. Hey! Today I got some great news. No, I didn’t get a publisher for my book. No, I didn’t sell my magazine articles. That’ll come. No, this news is even better. And when I heard it, well, it just made my day. I’ve been in a great mood ever since.
I’ll make it short and sweet. There “was” this log/safety guy I despised. Like everyone that works in a safety department, he was a useless, arrogant, smartass piece of garbage. At times, he made my life miserable. Other drivers quit the company after run-ins with him. He knew how to get right under your skin.
So, I got the call today that yesterday he was “released” – fired, terminated, canned, kicked to the curb, took a long walk on a short pier – and I was overjoyed. It was the best Christmas present ever. And just let say that I worked damn hard to see that his "release" happened. Took a while, but it worked. I'm sure there were many others "behind the scene" complaining about him as well.
To top off the great news, after sitting around for a day or so, I’m headed with a “hot” high value load to Laredo. I really need the miles! From there I’ll get something going back to Florida for Christmas and the New Year.
