Ya know? I'm not real happy with the way my life is going lately. Society seems to be falling apart. Take right now for instance. I am heading to work on what should be a 15 minute drive, yet I have been driving for a half hour and am only half way there. The traffic is lined up bumper to bumper on both sides of me but I know I could get done a lot faster if I could just get around this stupid semi that is right in front of me..Those things shouldn't be allowed on the road..
Okay, that's it, next break I am going to get around him if it KILLS me. Here we go, the car next to me has allowed a space of 6 feet between him and the car in front of him so I'll just force my way in here and work my way to the front of this truck. "Hey buddy, don't shake your head at me, your the one who slowed down. If you wanna take a pleasure cruise, do it on your own time. I've got to get to work."
Finally! Now maybe I can work my way out of this mess. Look, just like I thought. That stupid truck driver has about 120 feet of space in front of him. Oh great, almost there and now the cars ahead of me are going to slow down so I can't get in front of him.. Just one more,, foot, got it, mash the gas,,!!
Ha, look, that stupid truck driver just swerved over and hit the car on the other side of him. Probably fell asleep at the wheel. Well it's just like I always say, those stinkin' trucks shouldn't even be allowed on the road.. I am going to write a letter to my congressman. If they can't outlaw them all together, atleast they could get a little better control over them.
Ah, work at last.. Hey Joe, why aren't those lines running? You know we've got to make that deadline! Get those people to work!!! Sorry Boss. the truck hasn't arrived yet and we're out of widgets. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE TRUCK ISN'T HERE YET! I TOLD THAT IDIOT HE HAD TO BE HERE AT 7:AM!!!!!! He isn't here boss, maybe he got caught in the traffic or something... I don't want to hear excuses! I want my freight! You get that drivers' dispatcher on the phone and find out where he's at! Also tell them I am going to tell the shipper not to use them anymore, they are to undependable!!!!
Hey boss, I talked to the dispatcher. He said that truck was involved in an accident this morning. I guess some car cut in front of him and he hit another car trying to avoid running over the first. The truck driver is in the hospital not expected to live and the guy in the other car is dead.. Well call them back and see how soon we are going to get those widgets. I have a deadline to meet.. Also tell them I am going to bill them for the wages I have to pay while my production line stands around waiting for parts...
I know, I know, This sounds just as ridiculous as my last article. Well guess what? It happens every day.. Maybe someday we will have a transporter and can just beam you your bread and milk. Until then try to remember,,,
