First off, thanx to all who wished me a Happy Bday yesterday. I still plan on commenting back.
Now for the work stuff. I guess I should start with my end of things since its been pissing me off since last night. I know it was somewhat at the last minute to ask for Thurs night off since me niece needs someone to take her to the bus station really early Fri morning. Her bus is supposed to come around 4am and she has to be there about 3 and I would suggest one of us staying with her till her bus comes. Cause that early in the morning, downtown Dallas, even I feel creeped out on being there. All the crazies like to hang around and half the time you can't trust ppl there. I feel more safe at an airport than at a bus station. So I emailed my super about it. I was HOPING that he would be around when I got in last night so we could discuss it but he wasn't. Instead, he emails me back saying that I could take 2 hrs of PTO. I'm sorry BUB! but that isn't going to cut it. For 1, I don't want to drag her with me to work and have her miss out on sleep or even sleeping in the hot car till it was time to take her. And 2, I wasn't going to leave work, go home, and THEN run BACK into Dallas. What the fuck is so wrong on GIVING me one of my vacation days??!! My super complains that I haven't taken much vacation at all this yr and now he wants to hold me back from it? His one excuse was that the one guy who's main purpose is replacing one of us if we take vacation, would have to pull a double shift, mine and then stay through the morning. It would be no different if I took a normal vacation day and he would have to do that. Plus he has to do it anyways for me next Mon night cause I got fucking training Mon morning and I don't have to go back to work till Tues night. I'm just so irked at the whole thing that I pretty much said fuck it. I'll just not take her and have to let bubba take her even if he has to miss out on a bit of sleep since he has to go to work that morning at 6.

On a lighter note, bubba told me the other morning that this one position that was open about a yr or so ago is open again. Its I think a Nat'l Garage Manager or Nat'l Regional Garage Manager for Greyhound. It requires traveling to certain cities from time to time checking out things at those garages and the pay is really good. He hopes that he can find out if he could get the Dallas area cause I'll be damned if we'd have to move to Houston. Sorry to those that live there but Houston is NOT on my list of living there. No sirrie bob. He asked me what I thought and said that it doesn't sound bad and if he could ask around about the things he wanted to get, it would be worth it compared to the area he works for them now. Less stress since he's been stressing really bad lately with what he does now. He knows his stuff, even more so than his so called manager he works under now.
*tired sigh*
