Yes its true !!! After a year almost to the day , i'm finally going back to work !!! (couldn't have come at a better time) I'm going back to dispatching but for a different company than i last worked for . unfortunatly there are only four taxi companies in the city of albany so waiting for a chair to open up has been a looonnnngggg wait . i could go back to driving now that i'm losing a considerable amount of weight , but i told myself 3 years ago when i got away from driving that i'd never drive a cab again !!! the stress & lifestyle you have driving is way too much on me to do it anymore . its still a long shift 6pm to 6 am but hey a paycheck is a paycheck . (i'm sooooooo tired of being broke ) will start off with 3 nights thursday friday & saturday , the busiest nights of the week of course but after a couple weeks they might throw wensday night at me too. which i'll gladly take .
going back to work , yeah !!!!!!
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
