Wha...what?

Was I the only one that DIDN'T know you had a ton of health issues? :-/

Wow, Rip, that sucks. At least it isn't a tumor, but still... really sucks. My grandma had breast cancer a couple years ago. They caught it in time, but it still meant they had to chop most of one off.

And besides, wouldn't want some crazy brain person looking in your head. They might take out the crazy cookie-maker in you as well! :)

Don't worry, I checked. It hasn't got anything radioactive in it.

To be fair I had no clue either, but I say the same as Nightclaw, hope you get better, from whatever it is @_@

I'm getting LightWave at an undetermined point between about a week from now and my birthday, closer if my dad pays for half it it, longer if he doesn't.

LightWave is the program they used to make the special effects in Firefly, Serenity and Battlestar Galactica. So it's going to be great.

Thank goodness our national standards are a little better than this, right? A little morbid humor to shed some light on what could've been a dismal situation.

I'm glad to hear that things weren't as bad as they first thought it could've been. I'm guessing they're going to do something about the cholesterol buildup, right?

They can't really do anything about it but take it out, but it's too small to bother with anyway. Like I said an MRI every two years should keep us up to date.

YAY!

I'm really glad that checked out, Rip! I'm sure it's a huge relief off of your chest!

I didn't do it.

Now that's been said, I'm jumping with glee. I got a call Thursday from work wanting me to come in and cover a route. He said that something happened there, and they needed help. I, being that it was a CAM Thursday, said "no thanks, but you already have me for next Thursday, but this weekend's out. I'll be out all weekend. Sorry."

No repercussions because of that.

Now, I came in today and found out the story. One driver got fired because he hooked the gate with the bumper and pulled it out. Around $1,000 worth of damage.

The gal that ran over my pickup got fired (finally). She didn't have her order sheet and went to the terminal of her choice. This cost the company an extra $500 per load. $1,500 total.

Okay, I'm doing the happy dance because she's gone. BUT! Oh, the 'but'.... I also feel a little slighted by this. If the guy can get canned for ripping up a fence gate (mind the value of the damage) and get fired over it, how come when that bitch ran over my pickup for more damage, she didn't get fired?! She got fired for LESS $$.

Then again, she's been in the deep end of trouble before, including the pickup incident.

Anyways, we hired two people today (Monday), and a third to come. The two people are to replace the two we lost. They'll be at entry level as one takes the place of the guy that took out the fence, and the other will replace the guy that will take the Bitch's job. The guy that's taking her job has experience with mass transfer of fuels because he used to fuel trains. He's been with us for less time than I have, but he has a little more experience than me.

Don't think I'm out of the picture, yet! Another tank will be here this week from California. We just need to buy a chassis for it. Once that's completed, the third guy to be hired will be taking my place. Yup! I'm going to transport soon. I'm estimating about four or so months until the transition as there will be certifications, tests, plumbing, assembly, and all that. Then the truck gets the same thing. (See what I did there?)

WOOT!

Okay, I may or may not have done something good for my community.

At about 4:55 PM (CST), I was on the phone with my friend, and I went outside to check the mail. I saw four kids, about junior high age, walking down the driveway of the place just across the street from me. This house is about 300 yards away. I got a little suspicious, and kept watching, then hung up and dailed 911 when I heard them breaking things. The kids left at about 5:20, and my parents got home right after they left. Then, a few minutes later, the cop showed up. Now, the reason it took so long was because I'm at the edge of the county, 20 miles away from the sheriff's dept. I gave the officer some descriptions and told him that I took pictures with my phone. He left to go check for the boys, and came back a couple minutes later, and asked for my phone. Here's how that went:

"Sure, but the pictures don't look that good. I could go with you and point 'em out if you like."

"No, I got some kids in my car right now."

We go over to the car.

"Which one of them did it?"

"Hmm... that one, that one, that one, and that one."

Then I filled out a statement and handed it in. I feel pretty good about that. All four kids got arrested thanks to me. Now, hopefully, the little jerks won't try to do anything about it tomorrow. But, I'll be home all day, so I can watch for them.

Wow, good job Alk! Was there any real damage to your neighbor's place? Neighborhood watch, hells yeah!

Oh, and Transcon, the 'distiller' is part of Adobe Acrobat. It embeds itself into Microsoft Office and allows you to convert docs to pdfs. I hardly ever use the full Acrobat, but I use the distiller all the time.

Well, see.... I heard LOTS of glass breaking. They spent a good twenty minutes breaking stuff. However, noone's lived there since the summer, and back in the spring of 06, there was a drug raid on the place. But yeah, those punks knew better.
