The world is mine!


In the very near future I plan on making the above phrase become a reality. I won't let anything stop me from achieving my goals. I know that is a strong statement. But, I will make it happen. I'm still somewhat upset from my previous blog. That's life, I guess. I won't stab people in the back or do anything illegal to make it to the top. I will continue to fight for the good that is in all people, I will continue to believe and hope for the best, I will continue to be strong and believe in the "Kill em with Kindness," philosophy.

I am going to make a pact with myself, that only I and whomever else reads this blog will know about. When I do accomplish what I want to do with my life, while on earth, I will be proud that I didn't break, or even bend, the rules. Praying that the light of goodness will out-shine all the sneaky, back-stabbing people who are in positions of power.

Keep an eye out for me world, I'm coming, be patient.

Another weekend work day is complete. Saturdays are laid back at my job. Laid back as long as the trucks arrive on time, or earlier than scheduled, then there will be plenty of time to catch up on everything else. I'm always looking for extra time to work on my studies. Last Saturday we spent 30-45 minutes trying to pull one can out of the trailer of an inbound Ozark. The door had come open and freight was lodged in between the trailer wall and the can itself. It took three of us (two agents and a handler) to get the damn thing off. Its bad enough we have to put up with the crazy weather, but when something that can be controlled makes your job harder it just pisses you off.

Still Can't title my Blogs! There is no place that says "Title!"

I have been using space to show my titles. I just finished checking out my instructors blog and she has titles. What's up with that?

Ok, what was I talking about.

I'm still at work writing this blog at 3:35 am. The only good thing about this is the fact that I am not on the clock. Plus, I am almost at my blog quota. Yes!


Ok, one more thing then I quit. I just ran the spell check on blogger.com and it doesn't recognize the word blog or blogs.

Separating the Men from the Boys



It’s getting cold outside. Yesterday, was a real test to all the young bucks that have not spent a winter working on the “Ramp.” The Ramp is hot as hell in the summer and severely cold in the winter. I think the wind-chill took the temperature down to 16 degrees. I’m native to this kind of environment and I had a tough time coping with the conditions, so I know the new bloods were rethinking their career choice. It takes a certain type of person to survive the harsh conditions we work in. Out here, working four hours feels like eight, because of the fast pace, grueling conditions, and the manual labor it takes to get the job done.
But they keep coming back.
