Out in the sticks -1/27/09

I'm officially part of Generation Y, a fact that appeared most evident as I was about to bemoan my current lack of access to the wireless data network that allows me to e-mail and browse the Internet from my wireless phone. I guess you could say "the sticks" aren't what they used to be.

I'm actually in Friesland, WI. I have an early morning appointment to get loaded and afterwards I'll hit the road and head back south. I sat around the yard most of the day waiting on something or someone - I know, story of my life. I waited on my truck to get out of the shop, but gave up and went out to lunch. As I was about to order, my dispatcher called to find out when I'd be ready to go back out because my truck was out of the shop. So I got back to the truck...and waited for a load assignment. After finding out it didn't pick up until tomorrow, I had time to get my 3-month evaluation taken care of...but I had to wait on the training department guy to finish another one first. Finally, I was able to get on the road. It only took a couple hours to get down here. Now I get to hang out until morning.
