I talked to my boss today about my situation. He was way cool, and said when I'm ready to crawl up into a track-hoe, I can sit in it till I'm better. That is a real good thing. When I broke my leg, he did the same thing for me, but I had to kick and scream to get a truck back. I have since sat in traffic for the last 6 years, so a change might be underway.

 

She's doing pretty good, pills are still keeping her happy, once there gone, it might be a different story. I knew that was you, it was alittle too late for the truckers nod [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

She's doing good, wants to go back to work in 2 wks. Slaps upside the backside, just like NCIS [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Not a lot of outfits will look out for their people like that anymore. Your fortunate to have that support.

I can sure see where you would be considering getting out of the trucks with the way traffic is around the area. A track-hoe may be a lot easier on the nerves and sure won't have those overnighters to Oregon. Maybe you'll have more time to ride once things heal up.

 

We are over 200 employees, 6 have been there longer than me. I have done 10.5 years, at a construction company.

I was with an aluminum company for over 16 years and never saw them do anything like what you have been offered. When they closed the plant I sure don't remember getting a kiss on the way out the gate. Paid well while I worked there but they considered one day off work for personal reasons or sick each year as "excessive".

Sure sounds like you have a good company to work for.

 

Gotta hit the hay, 3:00 AM comes early. See some of you tomorrow at the ride. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
