Mum's the word!

Wow, long long Tuesday. I am hoping that today flows some better. I am going in early everyday, not taking a lunch hour and usually I am looking to make an exit by around two something. Of course if I end up going out of town all this goes out the window! I had stayed in the office yesterday until the girls finished their lunch rotation, then I went up the hill to the shop. We had some equipment that had been brought in Monday that needed some cosmetic repair. I loaded all the needed equipment into my pickup and went across the road to get the needed material for the repair. By the time help showed up everything was prepared and it took just a few minutes to complete. When we had all the tools put away we went back to the office to see what had transpired during the afternoon and I was getting ready to make my exit. Once we arrived we discovered that the ball had been dropped concerning a back haul for a truck off loading in Denver today and I got on the phone. I made a dozen phone calls trying to find a back haul but to no avail. There were a couple of possibilities but no guarantees. I made it home after six. I am going in early today to try to be the early bird that gets the worm.

It appears that we may have a problem. The owner's wife does dispatch but more and more she seems to be expecting me to take over certain areas. She doesn't want to relinquish this job (and I sure don't want it) on a regular basis but it seems if it is a hot seat issue she wants a stand in. Add to this the constant flow of baloney forms (or poop projects) that find their way to my desk and it appears that we are getting off task. I haven't said anything yet but I am preparing my speech.

I've got enough excess hours to take some time off (any hours over 8 I take as comp time). Krl tentatively quizzed me about taking her to Austin this Friday. I don't know. Hound housing may be a problem. We will see. I wouldn't mind taking some time off, I just don't know for sure what I would want to do.

News flash. Due to some problems I just got a phone call at five forty-five and I need to go to the metroplex. Gotta hurry! Pray for my day and for safe travel!

FATHER thank YOU, for the gorgeous spring days YOU have blessed us with. Thanks for giving me flexibility to get to work outside and enjoy them. I pray for gentle rains as my many friends and family prepare to plant their new crops. I continue to ask YOUR blessings and healing for Krl, Ollie, Hag, B., Lillie, Carol, Michelle, Aimee, Ashlyn Kate, Jennifer, Tori, TJ, Anna, Jess, those recovering from their injuries, Yaenga, and Dr. Mackie. I ask comfort for those hurting from loss. I pray for guidance for those of us who wander in our journey with YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. Give me YOUR perfect peace.
