Maggie’s Day Three.. I'm Back Baby!

[GasLight]

Well, first off I think I have some apologizing to some of the good folks here trying to give me solid advice. I don't know if I was too hung over to fight back today, or if some of what y'all have been saying sunk in. Well I showed up 10 minutes early today, and I was fixin to get a little upset because no one even noticed at all. Then to pile it on, I got even more frustrated when they put me to sweeping the shop floors, but like I said earlier I was just too tired to put up any kind of argument and I just went and swept. Well, after I got back from lunch, they put me back in a truck!! BOOM, I'm back in the saddle Burned up the afternoon behind the windshield and am back at home much less sore than I was last night.

I was wondering when you would get out from under the "hang-over" and give us an update....

 

[GasLight]

I am fighting the hangover hard with a couple 40z right now!

 

[Derrick300]

Can't just get there one time early! Got keep that damn on time thing going all the time...
Good luck with your streak, 1-0 for now.

10 minutes early....now you've done it, they'll expect that kind of superstar performance every day now!! You better hit something with the truck tomorrow, just so they know you're fallible.

 

[dawson08]

you got back in the truck because you shut your mouth showed up on time and did your job. I'd give the crap jobs to the crap empoyees to, if they shut there mouth and did there job I'd help them out. If they ran there mouth and kept being a crap empoyee I'd keep giving them crap jobs.....AND if they where enough of a crap empoyee I'd send them kicking rocks and talking to themselves..cause too many people are looking for a job to let a shitbag keep it (IT'S HOW IT WORKS)

Before too long, there'll be 'certain individuals' here recommending that you 'light up a spliff' instead of popping open that 40oz. Thing is, there's a lot less 'decline time' so I've been told, and apparently no hangover.

That way, you can get to driving so much faster. Not only that, I'm told that there are certain 'wake-me-ups' like jelly-bennie candies, or something of the sort. That way, you can just keep driving and driving and driving. At least, that's the story I'm told, anyways. I'm not a driver yet. I've gradiated from the shop broom years ago,,, and have been 'refueler' for quite some time. One day, ,, ... one day.

Others here can tell you more about it. Of that, I'm sure.

Stay away from the 'white line' though, I hear that's dusty.

 

[GasLight]

no man, I will stay away from the smoking of anything, they do random UA's down here, and if you fail its suspension time. I'm not having that go on my permanent record. I'll stick to the 40z thank you very much! It might take a little longer to get going in the morning, but as long as you aren't over the BAC limits WHILE driving, no messing with my CDL...

I'd watch yourself. You are creating a dangerous precedent. You should strive to keep their expectations low, that way they will never be disappointed. And every so often try just a smidgin harder to really impress them but not too hard, you don't want to come off as a brown noser. In fact now that I think about it, you might consider showing up late tomorrow.

Truck Driver Joke:

A man goes to the doctor for some routine tests. Doc comes in with results of tests.
"I am afraid I have some bad news."
"What is it Doc. Give it to me straight."
"Well sir.... you have a rare untreatable disease that is attacking and destroying your brain."
"Am I going to die?"
"You will without a transplant."
"Transplant? A brain trasnplant."
"Yes sir. It is a new radical prodecure that has a very high success rate."
"Well doc, let get straight to it. What is this going to cost?"
"You have some options. We have some brains readily available. The first brain we have belonged to a nuclear physicist."
"Sounds good doc, but how much?"
"$200,000"
"That pretty steep. What else ya got?"
"Well, ironically we have a brain that belonged to a brain surgeon.It will set you back $175,00"
"Damn doc, that is not much better. What else is available?'
"Well we have one more brain but.... it belonged to a truck driver"
"Now that sounds like a brain I can afford."
"Actually sir, that brain is priced at $1 million."
"What the hell! How is it that a truck driver's brain costs $1 million!?"
" Well sir.............





It has never been used."

Thats the same advice my daddy gave me about my 1st marriage.

I've diligently followed the last three days of posts not quite sure if you were being serious or not. Hopefully the positive reinforcement of getting to drive today after doing the crap jobs will encourage you to be on time, and work without causing drama again. Same principles as training a dog. They dont behave correct theres some type of negative response, they do what you want theres positive reinforcement. Be a good boy tomorrow and maybe you'll get to go for a truck ride again!

Doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do is what I was taught a long time ago...works very well

Gas, sounds like you need a swift kick in the ass to know what work ethic is. 10 minutes early and you want someone to pat you on the back...just quit, the company doesn't need someone like you. They give you a job that needs to be done, keep you on the clock instead of "go home- we'll call you when we need you" and you've got an attitude? Sound like you need to give up your job to someone who appreciates the opportunity to receive a check.

I get irritated with those that feel they need recognition of a job they should be doing anyway...monthly employee acknowledgement comes to mind. Wow, lets give a thumbs up to someone doing their job...Salesman for getting high numbers- that's their fucking job, they won't get a pat on the back from me. Now, the secretary, janitor, IT guy that brings me business...they'll get recognition.


Try this...show up on time, be ready to work the moment you walk through the door-- if you aren't given a job at that moment, go find something to do-- sweep, clean up the break room, fill the toilet paper dispenser, sweep/vacuum.

Don't know about you guys but I like working hard/well enough so that the boss will take me to lunch and we all drink at lunch...takes busting your ass to do so but well worth it. Nice when boss man takes you to lunch, buys lunch/drinks- says to take the day off and bill for the day

Must be about time for the Day Four Post...
