Re: I got a new job!!!

I'm glad to hear it, sounds like a good job. The best thing about driving is the quiet time, or, you could always come equipped with a cd player and listen to all the good music, with no kids or wife to yell at you to turn it down. And you get Fridays and Saturdays off to use the boat? Perfect schedule!

Re: I got a new job!!!

Haulin hogs out of Vegas... that wouldn't be for RC farms would it?

It actually sounds like a pretty good gig since you don't have to, handle them, 99% of the time you are up-wind and someone else gets to wash the piggy goodness off the trailer.

I bet those guys at the Barstow truck wash just LOVE :rolleyes: seeing one of those company trucks come rolling in.:D

great luck on your part. i would gladly pay $10 not to have to put on a wet suit and over boots.

we did cattle and sheep. sheep by far the nastiest.:mad: don't know how hogs would be. likely depends on what feed the are on.

can you count past 21 with out help:D

Re: I got a new job!!!

I think that was a Vegas reference ^^^^^ We had a dealer pay the whole table this last weekend and he had an 8, 4, A and . . . then . . . another 8. This guy can't count to 21 and he was dealing at the Las Vegas Hilton :eek: I considered telling him, but thought the rest of the full table might have killed me, plus I thought I might have had it wrong, but after 5 minutes and taking my shoes off and counting my head, I am still convinced that was a table that all got beat. Not one bust either. He even said "everybody's a winner" . . .

Oinkers Away :p
That deserves some credit LOL :D

I keep thinking about their little nose, snout, thingy deal sticking out of the holes in the trailer . . . They look sooooo happy :eek:

That happened to me once or twice,,, I considered it a gift...

I was playing black-jack at a little place in the middle of no-where (BFE Nevada) and had a cute lil' dealer who was giving me the eye,,, she would do the standard card peek to see if she had black-jack and let me know if I should take a card, double down, even money for a black jack. Easy pickin's right there :D And you wonder why they have those little black things built into the table that tell the dealer if they have an ace/blackjack now...

I thought I posted that I was going but I realize now that was in a Mod thread . . . :redface: My oldest boy's 21st B-day, so it was his invite list and we followed his agenda. It has been 16 years since we went to Vegas without the boat, and it was a mistake . . . We were sitting around the pool after being there for one hour saying "man, I wish we were at the lake". And everybody's head was going the same direction . . . Doh!!! I knew better too :rolleyes:

Re: I got a new job!!!

Congrads on the new job.
We lost our biggest contract today so the lay-off that was suspected is now a for-sure thing.
I could get laid off this week or next or I could make it till thanksgiving they won't tell who or when til it happens.
I have escaped 6 lay-offs in the last year, but it looks like my number is up.
Hold on to that job, they are getting harder and harder to come by these days.

Re: I got a new job!!!

one thing i can tell you; there is an art to keeping a tally.
you might want to get a little pocket bound book to carry and on of those thumb counter clicker deals that fit in your palm.
