One of those days...

[Truckie]

Well, its been one of those days, if it can go wrong it will and double some times.

It all started off this morning when I dropped off my Dodge to get the A/C fixed.

After that it was all down hill. I'm so ****** I cant even begin to tell ya, I just get that dam mad thinking about this day.

I think its all because I dont have my truck. Hell even the Mack had to give me a hard time to day.

i hear ya on that. we have all been there. sorry to hear your day was so bad but just think when you get your truck back you can go for a long drive and listen to the awsome sound of the mighty cummins. hope tomorrow is better for ya.

Aye,

It was an interesting Monday for me... .



Started off the morning by urinating all over myself (and the toilet) while trying to use the toilet with the lid down in a sleep deprived stupor…that sucked

That was followed by cleaning the bathroom and taking a quick shower.



Cleaning up the mess ate up all my time, so no breakfast or packed lunch for me today (still had to be at work on time, which means leaving the house no later than 6:10 am).



But as the day went on it got better, a co-worker cooked up a bunch of pork ribs over the weekend, and brought me some ribs and BBQ sauce. The workday was easy, all I did was clean up the mess from an overtime job this weekend, and correct a bunch of prints that our wonderful engineers designed while under the influence of idiot juice.



The weekend was a blur, I worked 13 hours OT on Saturday (started at 4:30am), came home, sprayed the eves on 60% of my house, and Sunday I masked and sprayed the base color on the house. I have been way too busy, next weekend I plan on playing around, not working any OT, and I may go up to Redding CA to watch the diesel drags.



Some times I just have to laugh; some days seem to be designed to test what you are made of.

You Got that right.

Well, now that Im in a little better shape Ii tell ya how it went. Got to work went to hook up to my rolloff trailer and over shot the kingpin. Had to get out of the truck and crank on the dolly legs to raise the trailer so I could pull my tractor out, got that done and finally hooked up to it. Then I was hooking up the hydraulic lines and the last moron that used the trailer smashed the one fitting, he left it hit the ground and smashed the threads. So now I had to find a new male fitting, none to be found in the yard, so I had to take one off the yard truck. In the process of doing that smashed finger and caused it to gush blood. Put the fitting on my truck and was finally able to roll. On my way to the job a trailer tire blew, in the process of that it ripped some of the wiring out for my brake lights. Grate no brake lights on the trailer now. Had to fix that before I went out on the road. Was on the way down to W. Va. and my air line on my truck going to the trailer decided to start to leak. Made it through the day in W. Va. and back to Pa. Stopped and got new air line, went to put it on and it was to short, had to go get another one. Finally was able to put it on. But not till it made an ass out of me.

Well, I was really glad to see the day come to and end.

Today was a lot better.

I got my Dodge back from getting the A/C fixed.

And I thought my yesterday was bad by having to sell a new Ford Ranger . This past Saturday was probably worse - I had to sell a Ford Focus and also an F250 Powerstroke. Boy life severely asperates.



I keep hoping that piano player job out at the 'ranch' will open up real soon.

Well, for the way that Monday was I should not have another Monday for atleast 3 weeks. I blame it all on not having my truck because most of the tools I needed for the day were in there. If I had known that I was going to need them I would have taken them out. Well, I guess that's why they call it Monday.
