Merry Christmas, Dave.

Are you a grandfather yet?

Nope. Heading down to Albany shortly to spend the day with my son, daughter, son-in-law and ex. May spend the night (I am off 12/26) and then head to CT to visit my brother and his wife for the day.

Merry Christmas to you as well.

Ran out of hours in a snow storm once and had to be brought back to Hub from a truck stop. 23 hours and change.

I was stuck in a driveway until 2:00 am. The following week I would hear drivers point and whisper, "Is that the guy?"

It was about 6:00 and I was down to my last 10 stops. They sent two tow trucks and finally a supe from the shop came out at 1:30 to take me back to the building. Easy but frustrating money.

Where you still on the clock and how did you work the next day?

This was before I had a cell phone and could only communicate through the board. They made me punch out the board at 9:00 but I still got paid til 2:00. Fortunately it happened on a Friday so 10 hours off duty didn't apply. When I got home I told my wife the last time I got home from work after 2:00 am I had one helluva good time.

They never respond fast enough thru the board and you could be dying in a ditch and hour later come back with a message. Whats your ETA?
