Waiting for the Train

I'm waiting for that train to run us over and send our life crashing down again. Seems everything is going good, way too good for us.

You all know Gigantor got a new job. One we have desperately been needing. He's been needing to get out of his old job for a while now. We were gonna take this new one even though it was a cut in pay, because the benefits were so much better. Plus it would relieve alot of stress on Gigantor. Well...then they offered him same amount of money he's making at his old job. So that was like a major stress reliever.

You also know he was going to take a route that had him driving long drives every day. Well this was a little worry for us. Because he would have to be on the road by 5 every morning even in the winter. And, we know he could do it, but Gigantor isn't the best at long drives over and over. And the resorts would be closed in the winter so it would cut his hours way way back in the winter. We were worrying a little about money but thought that he could get a part time job in the winter. So...we were still doing okay. Also we would have to adjust, cuz with him on the road, he couldn't show up for any of Kiddo's functions anymore. But that is something we would deal with.

Now rewind a couple weeks. There is this guy that works for the company, been there over 15 years. He was going to retire the end of August. Well....all the garbage men here drive way to fast anyway, like they own the road. Sorta ticks us locals off. This guy, John, was doing his pickups, he drives a front loader (so he dumps dumpsters) And he took this corner by the middle school, claims his load shifted and the entire garbage truck tipped over. Gigantor went on the call with the fire dept. Police, investigators, everyone, says there is no way the truck would have tipped over unless he was going way to fast around that corner. These trucks are made to support these loads, plus they have mechanics in them that levels the loads out periodically. Real high tech stuff I guess. Anywhoo....this John, says there is no way he was going to fast. Everyone one, even witnesses say yes he was, way to fast. Which unfortunately, alot of the drivers do. Remember, they own the road. hehehe

So...there is a meeting last night. And all the big bosses were there. District and corporate. And they were going over the accident. And they kept asking John, if there was any way that he might have been going just a tiny bit to fast. They said later that all they wanted was for him to take a little bit of responsibility for what happened. They weren't gonna fire him. So...John stands up, throws his chair, and screams I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING SHIT, YOU CAN SHOVE THIS JOB!!! and he walked out.

So...after meeting, boss walks up to Gigantor and says. There is another guy we are trying to hire, he already has the mine certifications and everything (that Gigantor would have to get to do that long road trip route)And boss says, but I won't offer him that route if you really want it. He says you have a choice of that one or Johns. Johns route is in town. You don't go into work till 6, and if your kid has a function, you go park your truck out on the street in front of the school, and go watch it, you just take the time off you were in there. Also...being that it will be less hours. We want to make you head of building maintenance also. So that you can get all sorts of hours all year long. Rebuilding the fence, and doing maintenance on the buildings, after your route is run.

Okay since all this wonderful stuff is happening, and everything is falling into place for the better. We are seriously waiting for the world to come crashing down. Cuz if any of you keep up with this blog. You know that good luck and fortune just isn't in our cards. hehehehe We are the butt of most of gods and the universes jokes.

I want to jump for joy, but being that we are waiting for things to crash down, I would probably break my leg or something. hehehehe

Keep your fingers, legs, eyes crossed for us. Lets hope this is gonna all turn out good.

Happy Thursday all!!!!!
