I made the trip to Roscoe today. I was taking part in an intervention. The little wildman truck driver had told Krl that he was going to look for something else to do. He has been on Pepa's truck, and he was taking the truck to Roscoe. I just didn't feel it was right for Pepa to deal with this alone since we have been dispatching his truck.
The little wildman has been late turning in his weekly trip envelope the last two weeks. However, he has not figured it out that "said envelope" is essential in us figuring his pay. Paperwork is due in by Saturday, pay on Monday. His envelope has made it to us on Wednesday the last two weeks. My work schedule is set up to do driver settlements and billing on my days off from the parts store, so it requires an extra effort for me to work all day at the parts store and then come home to do truck book work.
I suppose the last straw was when the little wild man threatened to hold this past weeks paperwork until he had his last paycheck in hand.
You can imagine his surprise when he threatened to find something else to do and Krl told him, "I will accept that as your resignation." For two days he was telling us he didn't say that although when he called to tattle to me, he admitted he had said it.
Best news of the day. He is history. Maybe things will settle down now.
NOT!
Already Krl is dealing with another driver. I call him pea brain, Krl calls him something else.
On the drive to Roscoe I was kind of in neutral, brain wise. For whatever reason my thoughts went to Terri. I don't know why. But I was wondering if ET plans on being buried there where she is. A valid question, since he has remarried.
In an extraordinary happening, when I arrived at Memama and Pepa's, Memama told me that Colby had called and he was in the cemetery at Sinton visiting Terri. It seems Colby had meetings in Corpus Christ and San Antonio and he was driving, so he made the detour to visit Terri.
I think that is neat, that he would take the time and trouble to stop and seek out her gravesite.
I will admit, I do the same thing when I am in the area.
There is the sweetest poem on facebook. If I can copy it over I will.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in His arms. I have you in my heart. ♥
Have a day.
FATHER, thank YOU for being YOU. Help us to know that what happens here is trivial, that YOUR plan is unfolding as YOU intend. I pray for Memama as she struggles mentally and physically to take care of Pepa. I pray for Krl as she deals with the business. Bless-ed be YOUR name.
