I NEED TO VENT
Today before I got off work my boss told me to take Thur & Fri. off for the 4th. I was very surprised because I had friday and monday off too.. But I thought cool, give's me more time to hang out here...I should have known that having two four day weekends something was going to happen.
My cousin, who I have not spoken to in like 15 years show up at my house about a little over an hour ago. When we do talk, it's only "hey, how you doing?, how's the family (which I have never met) so on and so on.
The thing is he is a truck driver from N.C., I had a huge wrecker backing a semi into my driveway...I was standing at my front door thinking.."boy, this guy is a idiot, he's in the wrong place!"
When my cousin got out and said "how's it going Dave" I had no ideal who he was and thought how does this guy know me? I had to ask...who are you?...and what the **** is that semi doing in my driveway!!
Turns out he screwed his truck up. He said he had a bad trans mount and he twisted the motor before he could fix it. Now, I know he is lieing to me...a bad trans mount will not cause the motor to twist unless the motor mounts are bad too or he did something stupid.
He's in my shower right now and I'm P/O!!!... I know the only way to get rid of him and his truck is I HAVE TO FIX IT...
I have family and friends that always leave thier cars for me to fix, even when I'm not here..they will leave a note. Which sometimes I do get upset. They never ask IF i want to do it, or I'm I busy when can you get to it. They just expect me to do it. Here it is fix it and I need it now.
Now a car, a truck, no biggie...but just to show up in a semi and here you go...need it now, got to hit the road..
As a teenager I would work part time working on cement rucks. I learned then that big equipement is not for me...I hated it!!!!
I dont have the tools or do I even want too, because if he's like any other family member..I wont even get a Thank you..
15 years not a phone call, not one e-mail...Just shows up in the middle of the night and say's get my truck going I got a load waiting for me
DAMN, so much for my time off.. Okay, Thank You... I feel better
So if I'm not around, I'll be unerneath a Frieghtliner
