Posted 18 years agoWow, what's with Missouri?
I mean, I heard the joke for Missouri is Misery.
Anyway, pretty much it. My dispatcher's smart, smart plan on getting me home from Portland, Oregon is to SEND ME TO fucking MISSOURI.
I had enough, if it was not for I-5 being flooded in Washington, Mom and Bob would have picked me up at the terminal. So I am still working with these people. But I already started throwing things around (metaphorically) and started to demand for a new dispatcher while letting my dispatcher now how much I find him to be an in-human, lying, idiotic, no words can describe as much as I mentioned, ASS-HOLE.
Of course when this started, the idiot decided to go home early cause....well..he always does. And his relief came on, and for awhile she's been avoiding me. But for some reason, all the sudden, she's not only talking to me again, but she's actually got the night shift head of operations attention.
Pretty much the top of the ladder for the night.
So he's begging me to pick it up and he assures me that they are going to get me swapped with a home load....on my dispatchers hide.
So I told them I'll pick it up and will only go 130 miles with it east (since I'll have to go that way for the I-5 Detour....that, and I-84 is open now).
I am still waiting on word if they are going to start the process on getting me on another's board.
Either way, this is the last straw. They are lucky that I am forced to sit down and TRY to demand for another dispatcher to see if this job is still worth it for me. Cause I am done being mister nice guy. I will demand things promised to me. And I will look out for me, me, ME this time.
No more taking it for the team. It's not what I want, fuck it.

If its not work keeping me away from home......
Posted 18 years agoI just got a call from Bob (step Dad) letting me know that I-5 from Mile Marker 68 to 88 is closed due to flooding in Washington state. WELL, since I-84 is closed here and there in Portland so I can't reach US-97 north.......not to mention I'll be up in the snow filled mountians....takes care of that alternate route. I could take US-101, but 80% of that is closed off towards semi trucks over 50 feet (some where around there, my truck and trailer combined is 73 feet long). That, and part of US-101 near Olympia is closed due to mudslides anyways..... And both US-26 and US-30 going west from Portland is partially flooded too. Wheee, I don't think I'll be going home anytime soon as I liked. Bummer.
Anyways, left Casa Grande, AZ, Sunday. Around 2 AM. Got to Barstow, CA around 8 AM. I pretty much went into Phoenix on I-10 to Spur 101 (nice spure till I get on an exit.....those exits where NOT made for semi's) and took US-60 west to US-93 north to I-40 west towards Barstow. It would have been a slight bit shorter if I took I-10 straight into LA, then take I-5 north. But...well....anyway to avoid LA and Cabbage. Why not?
Once I started moving at 7 PM on Sunday, I head onto CA-58 west towards CA-99 north to CA-46 west to I-5 North. Then just kept going north till I got here. Been here since 5 AM. I got to be in Portland for a delivery at a Safeway DC at 4 PM. I hope they don't take too long. It's hard to find parking in that town past 5 PM.
Then from there, I don't know. Hope the water goes down and roads are safe for me to drive on by Wensday. Or at least early Thursday morning. I got a Doc's appointment......that, and I just want to go home.
Bummer really. And the thing is, Both Mom and Bob was considering meeting me at my company's terminal in Portland if I was for sure going to leave this company. Meh, I guess.

Hi ho, hi ho, I would like some fun b4 I go.
Posted 18 years agoDe do do do de do. Hi ho, hey whore.....
Hehehehe, that just popped into my head and I could not let that go to waste.
Anyway, nothing much since yesterday. I got to chill and relax here at this truck stop down in Casa Grande, AZ. Yesterday it was on and off pouring rain. Today it's just strong gust. Thankfully I am only 10 to 15 miles from the customer to pick up a decently weight load. Cause if the winds are strong enough to rock me when I am sitting still.....sitting between two other trucks. That's not a great feeling. Especially when your trailer is empty.
Oh well, about it. I got to relax. I laugh when I walk out side with the cool gust and warm sun....it feels nice and cool to me. Only to walk into the building with it being warm to the point of muggy with the locals saying it's "cold" outside. I guess when your used to a certain weather, it can appear what ever you want it to.
Ah hell, when I moved from Saipan to Washington state, I thought the winters was cold and the summers to be cool. Everyone would be wearing t-shirts and shorts, and I'll still be walking around with a thin jacket and pants.

This is a nice change of pace....
Posted 18 years agoHeh, well, I am in Casa Grande, Arizona now. I some how made the deliver on time.....barely. By the time I got here and delivered, I had just enough to sneak over to the truck stop here, and shut down. That, and I was dead tired. So tired that once I parked, I forgot to turn off the head lights as I jumped in the back and fell asleep. Just exhausted from both a long day and a few days of stress just releived with the deliver.
OH well, I got a different dispatcher today for some reason. I guess the idiot went on another vacation again, I have no clue. But so far this relief person is pretty cool. Gave me a good load going home, but I had to say no to it, cause I don't have enough on my 70 to deliver it for Monday, 5 AM in Sumner, WA. No arguments, just asks me what I have for my 70, when do I start gaining, and how much. I told him, he sends me a message saying, "That's not enough...pitty, that's your home load. Let me see what I can do then." I then ask him if he don't mind if I reset my 70, I'll have it reset tomorrow at 1200. He did not made it clear he'll let me yet. But he did say he's not sure what's available yet, but he'll make a note of it. Heh, I am so close to seeing if he's a regular dispatcher and asking for him. A total difference.
OH well, I am going back to bed for now.

Meh, meh.
Posted 18 years agoWow, that was a long outage. :-/
Oh well.....
Oh I am so stuffed up. Nose is stuffed, ears are stuffed to the point it hurts.
Other than that, fine. I was FINALLY able to get a hold of some one at the Snohomish county court house. Hehe so I am free......till February, of any Jury Duty.
OH well, about it, apparently I am going to Cassa Grande, Arizona. Cause the idiot could NOT find a swap that would work. Once again, he tried to do the stupid, "Hey, you (me) do allot of shit while another driver shows up earlier than I "thought" he would. And I know you can do this as long I toss out log book logic. This will work." WTF is wrong with this guy. I sent him a standard message that is supposed to go out to both him and customer services to let them know I'll be at the customer at 9PM instead of 3PM......due to my last deliver not realizing I was supposed to be there that night....so I sat for 9 hours till I was done with them. And he STILL thinks I'll be able to show up for 3 PM. OH, please, please stop me before I run this truck into the main building.
Anyway, about it, in Effingham, IL, about to sleep. Then I'll be on my way to Oklahoma City. Then on my way where ever between OKC and Arizona.
Oh well.....

Hehehe, I think I'll be chewed out in the morning...
Posted 18 years agoThen again, the bastard of a dispatcher is not answering ANY my questions that is not related to the load. Like getting me back in time for jury duty next Tuesday and what not. I been so wanting to chew him out.
Also, I think he's been on the fire with higher up with me cause when I sent him messages to reschedule. No argument, he just told me to wait. Took all fucking day, but he got it rescheduled......for 10 pm.
OH, load goes to Front Royal, Virginia. Picked it up in Enid, Oklahoma. Stopped in Joplin, MO. Then some oddball town east of Louisville, Kentucky. Then from there to Front Royal, VA. Once done, I COULD have sat at the customer. But I was so angry and pissed with everything, that I just did not care...till I was 60 miles away, going aimlessly.
Now, here's where I think I'll get chewed out. I had no load planned after I finished that one. But since my dispatcher is being a little brat and trying to avoid talking to me till HE feels is needed. I figured, fuck him, if he's got a load planned for me or not. He should COMMUNICATE with me. I am tired of telling him my plans....and he ignores them. SO I'll just do what I want. So I drove aimlessly north on I-81, passing truck stops as I try to find one with a couple openings. I round up going 130 miles north of where I was at. Currently sitting in Carlisle, PA. What ever, screw him.
Anyway, about it.

Taggitty tag tag.....
Posted 18 years agoI gots tagged :P
I usually don't do these. But meh, why not. Anyone want to try this, go right ahead. I am not planning on tagging anyone...
rules:
1 - Post these rules
2 - Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3 - Tags should write a journal of these facts
4 - At the end of the post 8 more peeps tagged and named
5 - Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’
1: Well, I hear people say they talk to themselves. I actually have conversations with myself more than I want to admit while driving for hours. I think the longest conversation I ever had with myself was 2 hours. Weird, no? Then again, when I have not conversed with anyone for days......kinda go nuts after a bit.
2: Uh, Lemons, I like sucking on them. And I mean the actual fruit. :-P
3: I am not a very sociable person when it comes to meeting new people or just being in public. But damn, I can talk for hours once you get me to loosen up. Then you'll wish I shut up.
4: I really have no guts when it comes to tagging, having to chose on who gets to be it. And I make a horrible truth or dare contestant.......trust me, I tried. I had one time in middle school where some buds talked me into playing and gave me nearly 10 minutes till they gave up and kicked me out of the game.
5: Speaking of 4, I hate truth or dare
6: I had my two front upper teeth rebuilt more than 10 years ago.....almost 15 years ago. Got them broken in two in a game of boxing......me and two other boys being dumb asses in a back yard with boxing gloves the found in their parents closets. The gloves did not do it though, its me hitting my face onto the concrete wall. Dentist did a quick repair job, cause I had to be flown back at school in Baguio, Philippines 4 days after the incident. Said it would not last more than a year. Heh, still fine.....and hope it stays that way. This was when I was home in Saipan for a Christmas. So I guess it was a BIG Christmas gift from Dad to get them fix from my stupidity. As the saying goes, boys will be boys. :-P
7: I may be half Thai, lived in the Philippines, Guam, Saipan. Have a Chinese step-mother. Japanese and Korean room mates when I was in a boarding school in the Philippines. I still only know one Language......ENGLISH. Well, okay, American English. But it's still English.......and please, if any American go overseas and says "Speak American". You'll not only get smacked around, but say that to me, and I'll have to fight my urges to do so. Even though American English is a butchered version of English. It's still English, not American.
8: I am a bit too technical to the point its a flaw. If it is not 100% logical to me, I'll just stare at it like a cow looking at an oncoming train. And there's been times when it does make sense to everyone, but I may miss the point of it, and I'll just end up looking like a moron asking for an explanation.
OH, and I should also put down, self loathing, ranting....and yeah.....
Hehehe, oh well, there it is. I tag anyone........hey, you looked, TAG. :-P

Well, I am so fed up with this job
Posted 18 years agoMy dispatcher is a dumb ass. He can't figure out how to plan loads where I can legally do them. All he sees is what hours I had done, and how many miles a load is. Like my next load after this is a two day drive from here (Oklahoma City, OK), to....oh, I forgot the name in Virginia. But really, I deliver 9 PM tomorrow night. I leave there 2 hours later. I got to find parking. Once I get a spot, I'll have to shut down. By the time the next load is available for me to pick up at 11 AM, Sunday. I won't have hours to legally pick it up.
My last dispatcher, oh, no problem. We may argue at times, but at least he gets a clue and works with me. This current dispatcher. Nope, to fucking dense. The only thing he learned is ways to avoid my wrath. He gave me my next load....a couple seconds BEFORE he went home for the weekend. Leaving this issue for the next person. Come on, I am much nicer than that.
Anyways, with him fucking up and me rejecting loads left and right cause he refuses to understand what a log book is....yet I obviously can't get him fired or get him in more trouble than a slap on his wrist since he's been with this company for more than 2 decades. What the hell should I do? I obviously can't fire him. And he is obviously getting a boner when he sends messages out to his fleet about how much his write up hand is getting tired of giving write ups. I swear, he'll make the perfect president to replace Bush.
Anyways, I had fun leaving Indianapolis. Wensday, I get to run all over town to find our empty trailers and moving them to other places that need them. I did this 2 times. My compensation, 23 bucks (wow, this is the first time they jerked me off like Werner did). That night, pick up a load.......that I was taken off of....but they did not inform me about it. The other driver showed up, and at least he was cool and understanding. So we swapped trailers, and we hanged out at the terminal, watching a football game and ordered some pizza. Once the game ended, he left, and I was sleeping at the terminal again.
Next day, get another load in Franklin, Indiana. And rush my way here to Oklahoma.......delivers 9 PM, Saturday night. I got here 9 AM......Friday morning. Probably would have been here sooner if I did not stop at the rest stop in St. Claire, Missouri early.
I did cause my mind was fried after seeing a brand new car catch up in flames. An SUV that passed me 15 minutes prior to me finding him on the shoulder and moronically pulls out when a sports car was in the lane he was trying to go from 0 to 70 in......never thought I see an SUV spin across two lanes and into the meridian due to a sports car......that only lost its front end. OH, and SEAT BELTS ARE YOUR FRIEND. I never, EVER want to see a person FLY OUT of a Windshield again. And the final straw was when I saw a warning sign up ahead saying, "Warning, both lanes closed up at mile marker 226 (I-44, Missouri)" Due to some semi-truck that flipped on its side and blocking all lanes (So I gather from the chatter on the CB). YEAH, all this shit happened with only a short burst in Missouri made me feel it was safer to stop at a rest stop for the night than just drive for the rest of the day.
Oh well, about it. Heh.......

Something to laugh about.
I been in Indianapolis since Friday evening. Work had been pissing me off, and I got time of scheduled here anyways. I got to head back tomorrow, damn. BUT, I got a new story typed up. I may post it later. Oh well, later, gotta run.
And beware of the moonites. :-P
Oh, and powerthirst.....

Heh......oh well
Posted 18 years agoI was sorta in a suicidal and pretty much "had it up to here" moment yesterday. But I am fine. Just sitting here in Milan, New Mexico, about ready to head east again. I picked up a load....I forgot where in North Carolina, but its near the Atlantic coast. What I picked up? 3M GREEN CLEANING SCRUB SPONGES. I kid you not. Where are they going? To LAS ANGELES......well, Ontario, which is east of LA. But still, it's going to California, to the OTHER coast, the Pacific. Now that's MILES. hehehehe, but I am scheduled to be in Indianapolis, Indiana on Friday. So I had to get this split off eventually.
Anyways, I come to the conclusion that the only reason I still have a job is I do my job, and I do it well. And what makes me special is I do it LEGALLY, and still some how surprise people. If I kept this load going to LA. I would have been sitting next door to the customer "48" hours early. I kid you not. It's the best I have ever done with following the DOT regulations. It's freaky. And I actually stalled a day in North Carolina.
So, I don't have to worry about them firing me without a good reason....they got too many good reasons to keep me. I am the only driver in 3 months that passed California's DOT inspections while the other drivers all got tickets from their inspections. And California is the top three states with the strictest rules and regulations that I must follow. They are the only state that puts Canada's strict rules and regulations to shame. In other words, California is the top.....but only cause they are assholes.
But the thing is, I am getting the idea no one likes me in the office cause I don't let them bully me into anything that THEY think will work. And I have no problem putting them into their place and do what "I" feel is right. And so far it's both my strong point and my down fall. This whole weekend along the weekdays with night shift, NO ONE is currently talking to me or answering my messages. I am now apparently hands off to the relief staff. Leaving all my problems to my current dispatcher. And he's already having a problem trying to deal with me. He had tried to write me up so many times only to have me squash him without even trying. I actually got him written up last week for lying to me about getting a reschedule for my load. Then ignoring my pleas for either a reschedule or a swap.....then wonder why I not only did not show up that day. But I did customers service job and worked with the customer on a reschedule and setting myself up for the next day. Making me the customer's favorite (I actually met and shook the hand of the person I talked to on the phone the day before). But the planners at work got chewed out by him.
Yeah, there's reasons I have a hard time letting myself take over situations. Cause when I do, I take care of it fully. Cause....well, it's not my job, and I like to do things in a team. I am not a leader. I just get the fucking job done. Either we make a game plan for me to follow. Or I'll just finish it......once I figure out how to do so that is. My only downfall is, if I don't have a clue on how to finish it, I have a hard time coming up with things on the fly.
Oh well, about it...................maybe I should be a dispatcher. Heh, yeah right.
Anyways, I come to the conclusion that the only reason I still have a job is I do my job, and I do it well. And what makes me special is I do it LEGALLY, and still some how surprise people. If I kept this load going to LA. I would have been sitting next door to the customer "48" hours early. I kid you not. It's the best I have ever done with following the DOT regulations. It's freaky. And I actually stalled a day in North Carolina.

Posted 18 years agoBut then again, why should I? I am just doing my stories for fun and sharing it to those who would give a damn to give it a look. That, and I am very fond of Shandra and her world I made up with the characters in it.
But anyways, here's a link to something I just got so into reading the whole fucking day since I been sitting here in Kenly, North Carolina.
http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/FT-index.html
I avoiding reading his stuff for years. Mainly cause I don't understand taurs. I still don't in a way. Also the breed he made up, "Chakats", also disturb me cause they are both taur, and hermaphrodites. And I don't like hermaphrodites. So I guess you all could say I was biased to feeling the need to avoid at least skimming things over.
Then I saw this from an artist I watched.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/873452/
I seen the other stuff she drew of these two before. But this current one really hit me. I mean, its a sad piece and the characters had aged. And the explanation at the bottom along with the link just made me say, "Okay, I need to know. I may as well read the stories."
So I read that story first......I was blown away. I mean, I did not know the characters but I already started to love.....then cry to learn the past away. So I ended up reading pretty much that story arch from the beginnings since this morning.
I was just blown away. WHY did I allow myself to be so stubborn. I love the bond between Karl and Pandora, and the situations they had to go through, good bad. I read the earlier stories that pretty much give me a much better view of the traditions that eventually Karl will have to face when he introduced later on in the chapters. I mainly read "Tales of the Foxtaur Clans". Very damn good read.
I really enjoyed these stories and I plan on sucking up my ego and giving the rest of the stories a read through. They are very well thought out. I actually found myself at times looking back cause it tossed a very good curve ball reference. I had to look back, in order to not only understand, but marvel at how they flowed and worked.
His ideas on the creatures he's using (especially his own creations) and how they lived, interacted with themselves and others around them was just....mind boggling. Either he had this all planned out well before he put them down on paper....or he's just that good.
Grammar and spelling is great....something that I totally suck at. But meh, I am trying. Remember folks, even though English is my only language, I learned my English living overseas by people who used it as their second language. So it's blind leading the blind....with a hyperactive guide dog.
I rarely give rave reviews like this. Then again, I felt I needed to cause for years I rejected myself from looking at his stuff. I honestly HATED Chakats. But then again, I being told about Chakats by others who don't understand. And I avoided anything from the creator. Now.....I feel like a jack ass. So I guess the best way to apologize is at least recommend people to a decent read.
So check out Chakat Goldfur's stuff. I am sure most in the fandom have. But in case not. Don't go looking in for porn, or fetishes. Just don't. Just clear your mind and enjoy.
Oh, and give this guy a read through too.
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/gildedtongue/
Even though I seen interactions of Chakats in Longtail's comic, "Apollo 9". I was still disturbed by them...and taurs in General. Though the comic made me laugh (wish her RL was not interfering with her allot lately). But anyways, what I am trying to get at is it is Gildetongue's stories of this character that sparked my curiosity about Chakats and what not. I don't know what made me decide to read those stories, but I am glad I did.
In case anyone wonders, these stories get my attention cause the "human" likeness of the characters. If I had a better word, I would use it.....maybe I can use, "Person". Something that I love, and I STRIVE to achieve in my writing. Being able to read and feel for the character in everything they do and experience in both mundane and surprises.

Posted 18 years agoI am currently in Mebane, NC, about to head to Goldsboro, North Carolina in a bit. I just want to say that this week have been hell so far. Dispatcher arguing with me and purposely lied to me about getting this load rescheduled BEFORE I picked this up. In other words, going to be late anyways when I picked it up late....due to getting the info 12 hours later from availability. But don't worry, I got his ass on the fire. But still, he lied, and then REFUSED to pull through till THREE HOURS AFTER APPOINTMENT TIME.....by this time I was already shut down and out of hours for the day....2 hours away from the customer....as I told him BEFORE I agreed to pick up the load.
Chakats, don't understand it, never did. Though am I willing? Yeah. BUT, my problem with Chakats are from people who are mainly into either the Beast porn (come on, lower half is a super large version of their counterparts), and/or those who are into hermaphrodite porn. I am not going to be interested in a unique species if all I am getting is, "oooh, I like them cause they are such a unique, sexy creature." BUT, anyways, I read a couple of stories from some one (you know who you are. ). And it got me interested into how they live and pretty much how they function as a person in society. I actually sat down tonight and read a couple stories on Goldfur's site. Heh, it sorta weirds me out. But taurs and/or hermaphrodites do that. But, well, its very intriguing. I am starting to like them and seeing them in a different light. Very nice, it's not only good. But its helping me get re-inspired again. Hehehe, a moment of fresh air is always nice. But a fresh bath along with it....mmmmm. :-P
OH well, gotta run and deliver this already 24 hour late load (customer only recieves between 3 AM to 1 PM. And when I got my hours back, it was 6 PM). Hehehe, later all.

Upade..yeah...
Posted 18 years agoWell, here's a very quick update.
I left my house midnight, Thursday morning. I get my load info....turns out there's two pick ups on the same day. The second one in the late evening. I can't do both. And the system did not have directions for the first pick up. Oooooh, I was mad. I could not get a hold of anyone at the customers. So I just started my clock anyways as my way of sticking it to my dispatcher for playing the game of, "I don't have to give you much info over the phone, you should be in your truck," bullshit. And I pretty much drove to our drop yard in Bonney Lake, WA. Long story short, I got him in trouble anyways with "nice" messages and told him from now on we are doing Messages only, since he want me to use it anyways, and I can't trust him over the phone. I mean, one of his response was, "Your supposed to be in your truck checking your messages anyways (this whole problem came up cause I called in to check for loads.....he's really proving to be a lazy ass.) The messages really pissed him off, but I am tired of being mister nice guy. Especially since I am going to be booted off a board for defending myself and demanding some logic to be used everyday thinking.
Anyway, I waited till 7 AM. At 7 AM was when I started to rip into my dispatcher over the computer as I was on the phone calling up the customers, doing HIS work. Mainly cause....well..if he's just like my dispatcher, would just be busy arguing with me than taking care of the situation. Sure enough that's exactly what happen. By the time he realized he was wrong, I told him I got a hold of both. Got directions for the first shipper, and got the second shipper to change my appointment time so I can pick it up within my 14 hour clock. He sends me a message, "Usually I write you up for doing MY job. But.....just go." Heh, this dispatcher is proving to be the write up king.
Anyway, I had to go to Brewster, WA. That's 65 miles north of Wenatchee, WA, right off US-97. Then from there I head straight north to Oroville, WA, off of US-97, pretty much the last decent city before the Canadian border. I pretty much got to see the middle to middle north of Washington State. Fun...all....hills and desert looking. But damn, the weather up there seem to grow apples well.
Anyway, once that was done, I headed east to Wisconsin, going to my old personal hell of Tomah, WI, at the damn Wal-Mart DC there. Maybe I can say hi to some of the drivers there.....if they are still there that is, while avoiding the morning dispatchers. Those guys are ASSHOLES. Then again, so is the whole DC.
Right now, just sitting at my company's main terminal again in Mondovi, WI. I don't want to wake up. But I'll have to if I want to go grab some food before the restaurant closes for the night.
Oh, and I rearranged my sleeping area after removing half of the junk I had laying around. I now can sleep on the bottom bunk again. Wow, I forgot how much sleeping space I can get in a truck......the top bunk is just TINY.

Well, quicky.
Posted 18 years agoVisited my buddy in Everett on Saturday.
Then visited an old High school friend of mine on Sunday. While Sunday night my friend Mike showed up and hanged around for a couple nights.
Monday, went...well....all over the place.
Tuesday I just over slept and then called work....only to find my current dispatcher was off that day and the relief transfered me to another dispatcher....only to have that one transfer me to another.....who would not answer....so I considered Tuesday as another day off. So I just chilled at home, wanting to relax before I head out again. Mike left later around Midnight.
Today......got up before lunch. Gave my dispatcher a call. He forgot I was coming back NOW, so I was not missed. Hehehe, oh well, now I am waiting for an hour or two for a load either tonight or tomorrow........wait, just got a call, I got a pick up for tomorrow. Yay. Pick up some where.....I have no clue.....Bruster, Booster, WA. 200 miles from Seattle. My only problem is they want me to pick up the empty trailer at a tow yard in Seattle. OH boy, please, please, PLEASE no.
Oh well, once I get the load, I go to Wisconsin. Yippy.

Random crap for the night.....
Posted 18 years ago..................................................love me................................
Bussy Friday.....
Posted 18 years agoWell, Friday I meant to hang out with buddies of mine in Everett. But before my day started, I get a call from my buddy at the truck stop, telling me that they our company sent a tow truck to tow his truck away....and had him get out of it. So pretty much he was fired. BUT, they marked as he quit. Cause at the beginning of September, he sent a message over saying he is going to quit IF....well.....it was a long list. Well, only yesterday they decided to accept it....but they marked it down that he quit and left a month ago. Is that ethical? Well, I can go on forever on how that pisses me off and how I was starting to get a clue on how messed up these guys can get before this happened (like getting fired from my last dispatchers board without warning or a chance to defend myself.....and also being told by the other drivers that usually when a dispatcher fires from his board, I also get fired from the company). WELL, I already made plans in my mind to empty out most of the stuff I don't need in my truck....in case worse comes to worst. So I'll be doing that. And since I still got the money, I am going to put aside 300 to 400 bucks for an emergency plane/bus ticket.
Some of you may think I am freaking out, but this guy got most of his friends and relatives back in his home state of Maine. He got friends and his home in Tampa, Florida. He was fired (?) in a town south of me in Marysville, Washington State. Lucky for him he's got ONE relative in Poulsbro, Washington.
Well, I picked him up, we waited till the evening when his Aunt got free, got directions, and met them halfway at....I forgot the name of the town. But its right when you got off of the Bainbridge Island Ferry (I could have dropped him off, but I was curious to the area.....so I went over the water too). Too bad it was dark.....but the messed up chaos of the roads made me decide it was too dark and confusing to try and just roam a little. So once he got picked up, I just got back on the ferry and gone home.
Well, I am no longer comfortable with my job. And this shits happens with ALL companies. So I'll just do my best to be careful (as usual) and start looking elsewhere......outside of the trucking industry. I got at least 80% of businesses I owe paid up. I don't want to do fast food, but the bills are at a point where I can survive off of it for a little bit. But I am going to stick with this till I am feel its time to leave. I don't want to be in an industry anymore where the public look at us like a bunch of psycho paths, gypsies (whats wrong with them?), rapist, sexist, pedophiles, murderers.....and the list goes on. With companies who just plain out think their own drivers are scum and have no heart on getting their drivers to safety......on the pay roll or not. I rather get treated like shit at Holiday Inn again. At least I'll get home when the work day is done.
John (the name of the buddy of mine) says he put a "lean" on the truck. I don't quite understand still, but the other drivers we talked too do. And from the sound if it, its the first step he had done to start getting these guys in court. So I am curious, but I doubt much will happen.
Anyway, about it, going to call a couple of people. Half my week is gone. And I got a couple days to try to say to EVERYONE I been meaning to say hi to since I got back. :-/
Hey, Kassa, still work at the Taco Time? I actually stopped over on a whim and no one knew who I was talking about.

Hehe, what a day....
Posted 18 years agoI went to see the Doc, before this I got a hold of my old buddy Nick. Was going to go to the doctor and then see him. Instead I get a call from work, asking me if I can hunt down one of our trucks. So, I figured, why not? Especially when its the same truck who's driver I hanged out with in Reno last week.
So, I went to the doc, got tons of shots. Get told that I now got another option to prevent it (keloid) from growing back. But it involves me being here every week....job won't handle that. So the only best way is, shots....shots, SHOTS. And damn, I had allot of shots today.
Once done, went to the truck stop, found the goofy buddy. And hanged out with him, mainly trying to calm his nerves and figure out whats going on. Apparently he may be fired (I am sure of it, sadly....and he knows it....especially since they asked me to look for him....though I did not have to later....but I wanted to say hi anyways). By the time I left....like an hour ago, I never got to see Nick (called him to let him know I got stalled playing ambassador for work....and shrink...grrr), and waited for the winds to die down. Only to find his truck refused to stay running, so ended up putting his Kenworth into the Kenworth shop next door.
OH well, tomorrow will be interesting, I may have to check on him.....hate to leave a buddy down. If it was anyone else, no. On top of visiting another friend of mine in Everett, and I STILL need to figure out where to put Nick into my plans of visits. I, THINK, THINK Sunday I may go north to BC for a day.....if Mike is not busy. Heh, I don't know, but I do hope things fall into place and not be chaotic like it is today.
Oh well...sleep....

Apparently he may be fired (I am sure of it, sadly....and he knows it....especially since they asked me to look for him....though I did not have to later....but I wanted to say hi anyways). By the time I left....like an hour ago, I never got to see Nick (called him to let him know I got stalled playing ambassador for work....and shrink...grrr), and waited for the winds to die down. Only to find his truck refused to stay running, so ended up putting his Kenworth into the Kenworth shop next door.
OH well, tomorrow will be interesting, I may have to check on him.....hate to leave a buddy down. If it was anyone else, no. On top of visiting another friend of mine in Everett, and I STILL need to figure out where to put Nick into my plans of visits. I, THINK, THINK Sunday I may go north to BC for a day.....if Mike is not busy. Heh, I don't know, but I do hope things fall into place and not be chaotic like it is today.
Oh well...sleep....
Ah,a journal....
Posted 18 years agoI decided that I'll use what this journal is meant to be used. For my crap.
Anyways, if anyones curious about me, go to www.livejournal.com/~mickstover
Get all your emo.....er....info there. :-P
As for what I been doing for....lets say....story wise. Not much since the last one. I just been trying to find time and what not. So many ideas, but with no motivation and time for either of them (or direction......everything I typed had been on the fly.....at least the good ones), I just...well....meh. Like who cares anyways?
Heh, and there's the emo.

Another Slow Week.....
Posted 18 years agoI don't know why I give a damn anymore. But at least the start of this week makes sense. Since I was still around the area, and the shop randomly picked numbers out of...something...not sure. My truck number got pulled up for an APU installation. As in, Alternate Power Unit. Basically that damn generator I always been wanting on my truck. Whee. So after I picked up the weekend dispatchers second try at sending me to Alabama (I'll explain in a bit). I just went to the main terminal in Mondovi, WI yesterday. And I just been sitting in the hotel across the street. Last night I had problems getting the wireless network (only available one is from my terminal.....so yeah, I am SORTA steeling it. But really....stretching it), but this morning not so bad.
Well, Sunday I got to Minneapolis, delivered my load. Found out the night dispatcher took me off the load and did not tell me. Granted I did not send my acceptance/rejection message. Mainly cause I was just too frustrated to argue with anyone. Bottom line is, they want me to pick up an already loaded trailer that's available at 4:30 PM on Saturday. Yet I won't be unloaded with my current load till 10 AM Sunday....and it takes me more than an hour to get to Gaylord due to back roads and two lane highways. So, I don't blame the guy for getting frantic when I never replied on the load and it was getting very close to when the load was available. I don't want to argue anymore. And at the time, I really was considering quiting.
But anyway, I relaxed that morning in Rogers. Later on met up with a friend of mine there. She's nice.....though.....interesting. Hehehe, brought her little girl with her. She's cute and actually was well behaved. Well, okay, she got bored eventually, but still, at least she's not hard to please. Oh well, Denny's are a great place to meet up and just hang out, especially if you have kids. It's one of those cursed places where you don't want to go eat, but it's not a bad place to hang out. And the food is not too bad anyways. I just did not feel comfortable hanging out at the truck stop.
Oh well, about it, it, it. Hehehe, though I am still giddy for some reason. Heh, oh well, I got to pack my stuff up right now, check out time is very soon. They got my truck in last night in the shop very early (was supposed to be in the shop early this morning), so it may already be done.

Insomina
Posted 18 years agoSome live with it all the time.....and some like me don't usually get it allot.
Blah, oh well. I am going to try to get back to sleep. I'll just say this is going to be one annoying weekend. The dispatcher so far is starting to look okay. But still a little so, so. I mean, I had to turn down a very good load going to Victoria, TX cause the pick up time was past my ticking hours. If that makes sense. The customer is in Mt. Pleasant (or lack of), Iowa. This customer also want me to waist my time finding pallets on my own. And to top it off, "I" will be charged for showing too early or a minute late (yeah, a minute late, no bullshit). So I just told him no.
So instead I get an annoying load to Minneapolis, MN. Nothing wrong with going there. Just....well, to drive straight would involve going onto allot of US and State highways from here (East St.Louis, IL), to Missouri, Iowa, then Minnesota. Missouri and Iowa highways are SHIT. But it will be 560 miles. BUT, the better alternative is to ARCH my way to there. Like take I-55 north in IL to I-39 north in IL to WI. Then head I-94 west till I enter into St.Paul, MN on the east (customer is south of Minneapolis, MN) Total miles, between 620 to 640 miles. Almost a 100 miles added. NOW, highways are not top speed and usually involves stop and go through towns and once and awhile...splits off at turns. Freeways are faster. BUT, the killer for me taking the freeway is I have close to 300 miles of 55 MPH driving in IL. Cause..well, they love to make Semi's run at 55 MPH while the rest go over that. I have no idea why IL, Ohio, and most of California have semi-trucks run at 55 MPH max. Especially in California where there's some areas that are flat for miles and the cars are allowed to go at 70 MPH. But I do understand Oregon's reasons.........mostly curves and hills in the majority of their roads.....no reason for me to be going over that.
OH well, I do have another decent load lined up. But the only problem is, pick up is Saturday night. I don't unload my current load till Sunday morning. And I got from Sunday to very early Tuesday morning to make it to the middle of Alabama. OH well....we'll see.....

Hehe
Posted 18 years agoWell, put things very quickly.
I had fun in Buffalo, NY. Got a chance to look around on my own. Though I mainly just relaxed. I mean, I relaxed, no driving, no side projects, NOTHING. I just got to chill, relax, and typed up a story. Heh, though I should have gotten off my lazy butt and gone to Niagara Falls. Oh well, next time, if there is one.
I did work Last Wensday, had a load I in my trailer that was due Wensday morning in Syracuse, NY. So I took care of that, and went back to Buffalo, other than that, not much.
Got back to my truck Sunday night. Monday evening, got a load......pick up in Buffalo, 8 PM, Tuesday. After I finally get a load, I get a call from my dispatcher's boss. Telling me that my dispatcher feels our working relationship is not working out and my messages where "harsh". Not even 30 minutes since I got the load, and boom, booted off his board and tossed onto another dispatcher board. Well, that was a shot to my ego. I can go on forever on how much I feel like an asshole and how I felt I done him wrong at the same time how he did deserve some of the shit I tossed at him. I won't. I'll just say that bottom line is, I was a little to harsh on him, he never took me seriously (hence why I was harsh). And in the end, I honestly did not think badly of him too much, and I felt I was able to work with him at least.....despite the bad moments. But I guess I really shot his ego more than I thought I did.....he never let on. Oh well.
I don't know how this new guy is yet, but he's too damn busy to let me call him up for an "introduction" (since I am no where near where he is located). And so far....no word from him except for fleet wide messages. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
Other than that, I got here in Morris, IL this morning. I picked up my load in Buffalo at 8 PM, left at 9 PM. And drove straight here. Due in some town.....oh, not sure, somewhere southwest of Chicago, I am about....oh....one to two hours away. Heh, I wish most places keep posting detours when they tell a person to go one way....and keep reminding them. Instead of telling me to turn left, then never say a thing again. Only to have me freak out and call 911 for directions. Once I got directions (which was do a u-turn and go back........the road I needed to go on was BEFORE the bridge I was detouring from...lovely), I made it to the customer on the dot (8PM) Hehehee. Oh well.

I want a girl....
Posted 18 years agoWith a short skirt and long jacket........*horns*
Hhehehehehe, it's a cake song. :-P Cause I like cake and ice cream.
Anyways, I decided to mention that cause I seen a few guys do a thing saying, "I want a girl who'll...."
Well, at least they are honest.
Me, I don't know what I want. Nor do I know what to do when I meet a girl of my dreams. One things is for sure, I am pretty damn sure she's taken and very loyal to her mate. And...well, that's how things go. I guess I'll never find love, romance, and probably not even a one night stand.....if I ever get the guts to.
I just been thinking a bit too much lately about where I'll go and how things will end up. And the only for sure thing I see that I always had seen before. Friend's are more important than society led to believe. And as far as I can see, lovers come and go. But friend's last longer. Just from what I noticed. Relationships usually end in a fiery flame, with those lucky enough (smart enough and calm enough) to come out of it by only being buddies. At least if friendship ends, its usually not so bad. Though I have seen friendships go really, REALLY sour.
I don't know what I am trying to get at. I just want to say I am lonely, and I would love to some day meet Ms. Right. But I doubt it will happen. I am too picky while being unclear with myself. And I guess that's most of the problem right there.
The other problem is I grew up with such a different idea to what I consider to be beautiful. I mean, I grew up where the perfect lady is the one with the only piercings that's on a woman is on her ears. No tattoos, long hair, and happy to wear some sort of dress. Remember, I am only 28 right now, I am not very old at all. The women now along with the women of my generation and before my generation are NOTHING like that.
Weird, cause I like Tomboys, the ones who are in your face honest and not afraid to take care of things themselves. Yet still appreciate a little help now and then. Though my idea of Tomboys for today are way off to. Cause there's a good number of them who are either too butch to the point Lesbian. Or not lesbian, but are totally sexist and have gender wars of any type all the time. Even with their (how did this happen?) husbands or boyfriends, they'll all the sudden ramble on about how her gender is superior to the ONE SHE'S FUCKING. I am sorry, that's not love to me. And if you try to convince me that total war of the genders with your mate is love. Then....I guess you love to argue. And these 'tomboys' seem to have piercings anywhere and everywhere that either looks cool, feels good...or both. With tattoos everywhere.
Hell, the guys do the same shit. And where I grew up at, it was considered being a FAG. (Nothing against gays, just.....apparently that was evil. Catholic country I was in......apparently gay was the ultimate evil)
I am rambling. I guess what I am trying to say is, I find the current women around me to be too pierced, got to many tattoos, and a bit too.....open about their sexuality. I mean, between me and friend's. I am cool with it (though it took me years to get over being squeamish over it). But if I don't know you.....and I never asked for the info....please don't tell me your personal kinks. I don't need to know how much your amused with your boyfriends pierced dick, and how it makes you all wet. Nor do I need you to compare between your last lover with your current lover.
I am sorry, I find tattoos and piercings a huge turn OFF for me. Especially of the tongue. Main reason I hate going to strip clubs. Last one I been too was many years ago when I was visiting Indianapolis and my Dad was also visiting, and we went to one. And these girls where just......all that. Including the wild tongue action, and that "porno" feel of crappy dialogged and acting.
That's another thing, do people grew up watching bad porn to the point that they thing that being a "Wild Thing" all the time is the right way to act as a couple? Hey, what happens behind closed doors are alright. But please, in public, lets be decent, please. That's all I ask.
I like very short hair on a woman. I have no idea why, it just looks lovely to me. Seeing a woman dressed down like a man, yet you can still tell she's a woman, and she don't act like either/or. She justs being herself. No tattoos, no make up, no piercings. Just the pure human form, with her being herself without trying to prove anything other than getting the task done at hand (like taking the trash out....example). That's just wonderful to me. That, and think about it, if she's that hot in that form. Then I bet she'll be extremely scorching when she does decide to doll up once and awhile.
Yeah, and I hate make up. If you look like something else in the morning due to the make up missing. Then there's something WRONG. Natural bueity is the best way. And don't give me that shit, "Oh that's so vain." Think about it, if I went all over the place looking like Fabio, and you LOVE the Fabio look. And in the morning, see me looking like your DAD (this is assuming I am dealing with a sane woman who's not fucked her Dad), I am very sure you would feel lied to, cheated, and violated. Trust me, don't use the make up. You may not be pretty. But if I like personality, and we hit if off just fine. At least I'll be comfortable with how you look and should not be an issue. Cause lets face it, looks don't mean shit if both sides can't get along ego wise.
And another odd thing, tall and mature. For some dumb ass reason, I like women taller than me, I am not sure why. And a little older than me.
Oh well, I been rambling. I guess I have a clue what I like. But I feel she's hard to find.....and usually taken when I do find some one like her, or close. Hehehe, oh well....I'll shut up right now.

BEGINNING WITH "I'm a..."
Some cleaning...
Posted 18 years agoOf allot of things. I just wanted to clear up allot of saved messages, and what not. Hehehe, thanks for all the faves and shouts, and everything else. I a around, as usual. Just thought it would be nice to free up some space.
Just a quicky...
Posted 18 years agoAnd it was good. :-P
Kidding.
Well, no surprise, my Dispatcher thought I was kidding and THOUGHT he could just have me go straight to California for a big mile load (Madison Wi to Stockton, CA). BUT, after being nice to him with questions like (when are we heading back east) and what ever that should have been clear for a person who not only should know the requested home time that HE approved. BUT, his computer should have been flashing something on my profile that should have let him know that I am too far from where I want to be in a couple days (and I have seen this program in use with the dispatchers in Mondovi, WI....our main terminal. So he's got no excuse). I finally just chewed him out, and he got the nerve to say, "I thought you where just joking around? Why did you not say anything?" I told him, "I been asking all day and all weekend about my home time back in the northeast. Sorry if I was not being so...direct. After all, I HATE being over YOUR SHOULDER to remind you of MY home time that YOU APPROVED of while I am trying to do my job and deliver our load."
That shut him up and made him work as best as he could to get me going east. Just...well....Tuesday and very low on my 70 (Tuesday I had 5 hours to drive, yesterday I gained back 11, today, I only got 7 hours to drive....instead of my usual 11 hours to drive each day).
Either way, with me being stressed out and trying to place calls and do allot of things.....and still forgot to do others (like call my doctor for an appointment change and start making payments....since Mom never bothered to leave me a message about it...oh well....not her fault in the end). Either way, I'll be in Chicago Saturday instead of Friday than I thought. Knowing the weekend, I am SURE they'll going to try to make me deliver this load in Detroit, MI on Monday. So I really don't know what to do about my plans to hang out with a buddy of mine on Saturday.
If nothing else, I'll make them eat their fuck ups. IN the past I let the "50 bucks per day late for home time" thing go cause I worked and talked with the dispatcher on what to do. Like last time going to my sis, I went ahead and took an extra day on the road just to gain some extra cash....instead of being in Indy 4 days early. But this time, I WILL milk them. I DO NOT FUCK AROUND when it comes to WHERE I WANT TO STOP. If I want to stop in Buffalo, even though he knows how much I hate the northeast (Buffalo is not really the Northeastern tip), I WANT TO STOP THERE. I am NOT asking for home time there just so I can make more miles and fuck the system like most drivers do. I literally mean it.
Sad part is, I can't really be mad at him, cause allot of drivers fucked things up to the point he's not sure WHO to take seriously. Though he should by now realize that when I ask for something or even SAY something, I usually mean it. Just because I laugh and crack jokes over the phone, it does not mean I am stupid and easy to fuck with. I just want to get along and keep things pleasant.
No really, must I be rude, loud, and obnoxious just to be taken seriously? Shit, does society love to be treated like shit, or what? Cause I don't.
Oh well, at least Seth is easy going and says we'll take things as they come. So I am doing my best not to stress out about it. But I hate, hate not having things go as planned. That's life, I know, but still, its stupid that since I joined, I made it to my destination all the time. This is the first time I won't make it as planned with a day grace period of early/late. I'll be very late. And it ticks me off.
But at least I am not working with Werner....*shudder* I never saw home (Arlington, WA) except 2 times when I was with them. But damn, I always made it to Indianapolis all the time.......what ever.
