Popular Post mike69mackman Posted November 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2014 Sorry haven't been on much, sooo those that follow my FB page and talk with me know my job has basicly sucked the last few months for reasons too numerous to mention. Anyhow I decided to start looking around. Wanted to stay in an ag related field and not go back to hauling freight. I had been following a growing dairy food producer for a number of years and filled out an app. Had a great interview a few weeks ago and talked about a lot if stuff . Anyhow after a particularly miserable week complete with melt down on dispatcher/owner/ hourly paid mechanic and FB , I came home yesterday and went back to the barn to work out my frustrations. (Farmer 52 please remove your kilt from my barn rafters next time your in the area) came back in the house and got the call I'd been waiting for. I'm hired. Store deliveries of product, reefer load of product to our distributor in Staten Island once a week. 4 days on 3 days off. My longest day being 11 hrs. No more overnites hourly pay. Orientation this Tuesday and two week notice after that. Hate to leave where I'm at but the management is driving it downhill quick, I see the writing on the wall. I've got many years there but the winds of change are blowing and I feel the breeze so... I'm looking forward to the change. After I complete my ag inspectors schooling I'll be able to move around within the co and stop driving altogether which is my goal. The manual labor will be good for me also. So that's where I'm at. Hope all of you are doing well. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my meltdown on Monday nite I was threatened with a three day vacation, I'm like don't let me stop ya lol. Anyhow not quite sure where on Staten Island randy. Said something about 32nd st but he may confused. Thinking I might be going into Brooklyn which is no big deal. I've done all 5 Boros so it don't matter.

gearhead204 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 that wasn't my thong it was Reds! don't tell Ken he'll be hart broken. I was using them to feed apples to the horses .....(kinda like a sling shot)well any how the one side came loose and spanked o'l Red who was bent over getting another apple outta the bucket , anyhow she thought I did it on purpose! so she grabbed them outta my hand and gave them a toss, that's when they got hung up in the trusses, then ken came out and removed his kilt and tried to knock them down with his kilt .....and well you can figure out the ending! Glad to hear you gave them the ol'e what for and then was able to walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to picture Ken naked in your barn... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Mike,Congrats and good luck with your new job. Hope it is all you want it to be. Life is too short to work at a job you dislike.I was wondering what happened to those kilts? Wonder what Red is wearing if she lost her thong AND kilt? Might be a good time to revisit TKs.Nothing comes between me and my kilt! Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Congrats on the new job. It sounds like a step in the right direction, although whatever is happening in your barn would be enough for me to wanna spend more time on the road.
