runnin in circles......

sometimes i think this company we drive for has flipped their friggin lid.......they give a load...we head to pick it up....they change their mind....we change direction......they pile up the computer screen with loads stacked on top of each other......we actually run maybe 1 of them......they giveth....and then they taketh away........geesh.......all i know is that if brad and i handled our end of this freight haulin deal the way they handle their's, none of our loads would ever get anywhere......and when the nonsense gets really outta hand and you voice your concerns, all you ever hear is that you just don't "see the big picture"............

now, frankly, i love my job.....when i started out years ago i was coming out of a messy divorce and going thru a period where no matter where i was, i was restless to be somewhere else....i hit the road runnin and what could be better than wakin up someplace new everyday when you've got itchy feet???.......i couldn't wait to see what was over the next hill, around the next corner....thru the next gate.....after 11 years, i haven't lost that.....oh, i'm much more settled in my life with brad, but i still love the travel and seeing places i'd only read about.....all that is even more special with brad to share it with.........

the hard part is the constant frustration in dealing with the incompetence.....i have zero tolerence for stupidity....and that makes it hard since stupidity runs rampant around here........

actually, i really do see "the big picture".....i've been doing this long enough, that while i learn something new every single day, i can pretty much put this together like a milton bradley 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle!......ok, i've vented ....i'm better now........

now where did that corner edge piece of sky go?????
