Some changes at work and general life notes.

• In an effort to improve efficiency, they've started loading the trucks in the late afternoon and parking them in the warehouse. So far, this has worked pretty well. Although it has been a pretty light week for everyone.


• This has had an interesting side effect. We're getting out so early (0600-0630) that we're reaching many of our closer sites before they open!


• But so far, I think this is a good idea.


• Also, starting this morning, the previous day's trip sheets (which we post on a board so people can see what we're doing and in what order) had the revenue generated from each stop listed along with a total. This is a great idea, and really tells us what we're doing. Knowing that i delivered over $8,000 worth of materials changes my view on the load. It also immediately resulted in competition and trash talking, but hey, we work in construction.


• Today, I got back at 1300 and was told there was an emergency. One box needed to get to San Francisco ASAP. Take the F-150. *sigh.* Head out, drive up, and just shy of the site get a call from Victor. Since his personal car broke down, he's been using a company vehicle to get to and from work. Right. the F-150.


• I gave him my ETA and pointed out it was Eddie and Rustam's idea.


• Been very tired. On track for another 1000-mile week.


• A note about Twitter. Y'all may follow me, but I'm not following anyone other than kshandra. Simple reason, I can't afford to have my phone going off constantly all day at work.


• That, and I'm just not as dedicated to being connected as many of you.


• Three weeks to Opening Day!

Fragments of a Day - Doug's Daily Tweets

• 10:38 I feel a bit like a Ping-Pong ball. I'm at the point of rolling under the couch and hiding. #
• 11:43 Lunch. Which for me means a few chapters of _Matter_ by Iain M. Banks. Very good book. #
