Ch 104 Relationships                                               Goes Around Comes Around                                 

My supervisor Stephanie said “Our relationship ends here (and now)”, in the 5am darkness at the FedEx warehouse this week! I had been warned that I should be working 5 mornings a week but I only chose to only do 4 so as not to interfere with sleeping in after hockey games. Of course, my choice was OK during the Christmas rush with packages falling on my head, but not in the calm pace of workaday life. End of FedEx! Yes job went into toilet, Dale was right. You ‘gotta go’ to the home page at this site for the top 10- trust me. http://www.urinal.net/fedex_field/

I’m back to the beginning at ground zero like the toll booth of life as the light turns green, such as on the new Honda Civic swap later in the week. You have to keep you head up as with the new ergonomically pleasing digital speedometer display. Whether you are standing still or moving along at cruising speed you don’t have to avert your eyes from the road. Keeping your eye on the ball is the important thing in life. There could be falling rock hazards at any moment.

No matter what job you are in (or out of), family is what counts they say. So it was that I went back to my roots in Virgil for a lunch to celebrate Mom’s 82nd birthday. Kathy had been taking a back seat to my swap drives so she came along on this trip. Mom still a gamer for some local ski action at the site of one of my first jobs in 1963. Major expansion plans could give me a job with my old boss and fellow Virgil Alum Al Kryger.  http://www.greekpeak.net/  But I don’t want to talk about that, it’s a slippery slope and besides they say you can’t go home again. Thanks to my swap drive training I was able to go down and back in one day, although I prefer to have somebody pay me to do it. But that’s just me.
