Just to clarify - it was never a question of do I drive or do I shave - goatee is gone. No big deal, I was just surprised. Of to drive my first day now.

So, if I follow your timeline correctly, next Friday you will take your 5 days of driving experience and apply for an on-car sup position. Upon completing 30 days as an on-car sup, you will replace your retiring CM. 6 months later, you will replace your retiring DM and then will become Division Manager 6 months after that. You will then parlay your 13 month, 2 week career to land a spot on the Board of Directors.
When you get there, please don't forget us, the little people (the folks that actually run the company). Also, please document your historic rise through the ranks in a book. May I suggest a title?
The Meteoric Rise Of But Benefits Are Great At Big Brown
Hopefully Oprah will add it to her "list".

Trust me goatee's aren't really cool, you might be doing yourself a favor. Look at it as a new beginning. | |

LOOPER....it's just part of the education process. I figure the references will send folks scrambling to Yahoo or Google to find out who Maynard is. Yes, there was life before Gilligan......and yes. I did watch it.

Tell us how your first day of driving went. And all the problems you had with the DIAD board. Saturday Air is THE best way to learn how to drive and use the DIAD board without too much stress. 20 stops in 3 hours. how easy. And are you really going management? Think twice. Did you ever find out how long the wait is to go full-time driving? I think your wife would like you better as a driver. Think of the money you would save in suits! And you sound more "blue-collar" than "white-collar." Just my two cents. | |

Remember the girl that was head-over-heels for Dobie, but he was clueless about her? Zelda Gilroy. She was played by Sheila James, now Sheila James Kuehl . She is currently a Democratic member of the California State Senate, representing the highly urbanized 23rd district in Los Angeles County and parts of southern Ventura County.

I occasionally run Saturday air and it is always cake. The only part that I don't care for is any NDA that we P/U has to be shuttled to Potsdam, NY, which is about 90 minutes away, so that they can then forward it on down to Syracuse. With an 8am start, having to run to Potsdam makes for a long day (usually 5:30-6pm) but a sweet paycheck the following Friday as it goes on the previous week's check.
Of course, they would rather use a part timer but the Saturday sup likes to use me when the part timer has the day off as I have strong area knowledge.
