Tuesday we finished up one truck and they gave me a job to start pulling another one. I spent 3 hours draining, unhooking, etc. I was just about to pull the cab off when they came to me yesterday morning and said put it back together. It already had an updated transmission put in by another shop. So I spent the rest of the day putting it back together.

Going to be a warm one again today and looks like tomorrow too.

Record time on pulling a transmission out, we are all over it today! It's not too bad right now, by about 2 pm it seems to really heat up in the shop.

Boss is going on vacation. As soon as he left today, i could tell this is going to be one hell of a week without him here. Lots of baby sitting to go on. I think my list of covering my *** might need a book this week.. We need to fire 2 people, and just change my title to lead tech/office manager

its also funny when the boss makes a comment saying how good I am at keeping track of the work. I have my hand in every car there, and know everyone of their progress points and what they need, and what they are waiting on.
