A non-shielded note to bring y'all up to date.

My boss, Tim, was fired last week. We don't know why, but it wasn't a huge shock. He had been expressing extreme dissatisfaction with the company for some time.

I have applied for the position of Dispatch Manager. I interview Monday. So far, most of the drivers have encouraged me in this, and are even starting to act like I have the job. Some of the warehouse guys are also being supportive.

The advantages are many. Higher pay, a more stable work day that would allow me to take classes at Mission College, less stress on my body, more of a career track than just a job, and it will look good on my resume.

The drawbacks? Having to deal with the crap that goes on in the warehouse, one hell of a lot of responsibility, and the loss of the freedom of being a driver.

I'll take the trade.
