My boss is gone today too, but that just means I will probably leave an hour early. That's the wonder of working for a large company, they don't notice 1 less person sitting at their desk.

Ah, well I work at a three person company. Needless to say, not so easy to sneak out.

I would imagine not. Try a blow up doll with a John Deer hat on it. That might work...

With the amount of work that I have to do...it may very well work. It's been incredibly slow recently. All the medicare guidelines and cuts are really taking a toll on us. Oh well.

Pete how much dirt do you have to move?
Not entirely sure yet. I just hope the guy's daughter is out sunbathing or something... On second thought that may not be such a great idea. Might get distracted and run the truck into a tree.

Boss is on Vacation, so I get to sit in the office all day. Oh joy. Then when the owner gets here, whenever he feels like(1ish probably) I get to figure out how to make myself look busy with nothing to do. Double joy!
Just tell them "I cannot recite the alphabet backwards but I would glady say it for you forwards." Usually if you're sober enough to tell them that they'll let you say it forwards cause if you're **** drunk you usually can't say it forwards either.

I've never been a heavy drinker, so no need for me to worry about it.

There have been a few times when some of my patients have had their granddaughters visiting during the summer. There aren't many times I appreciate hot weather, but that is one of them. Good luck Pete! If you need more time to stare, just take a drink break. Don't risk wreckin the truck, haha. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and she'll bring you out a drink

I highly doubt it. I believe we'll be on the back 40 moving out some topsoil and bringing in sandy fill that will drain water better. I'm told likely a few thousand yards. I guess I'll be busy.

that stinks. luckily I dont have work tomm but I have to mow 3 lawns
and I have to be at work on monday, cause we are only open for the corporate companies (like firestone) but I get holiday pay and the boss said "bring magazines or something to work on, cause ur gunna be doing alot of sitting around" so there gunna pay me to work on my models or read. lol no problem. and I get a paid day off on tuesday, which is my dads normal day off, so its some father son time

oh, by the way, if u havent figured out, I got a full-time job. I work for carquest as a parts driver
