That is the last time I ever order jumbo-sized hot dogs from Speedway gas station. True, hot dogs are not much of a breakfast for me every day, but I order them in order to have some food in me. The jumbos are on special now and I thought I'd be paying the same amount of money for virtually 1/3 more hot dog. They initially went down all right, until the digestive tract made its annual back-up, which had me indisposed for about an hour. Try throwing around 40 to 50 pound bags when it feels a weight that sized is lodged inside you. Better yet, since I don't wish that on my worst enemy, I digress.
It's just hard for me sometimes to find the time to cook breakfast before work since I start so darn early (4 AM), so I thought the convenience store would work wonders. It did, until today.

The last half-hour of work and the drive home today is good for the poop chute. Once again, I was made aware of a new procedure that wasn't even told to me by my supervisor. Everybody around the room goes to sleep or drifts off after a certain hour, leaving me to do all the work every day for about four hours. Heck, wouldn't I love to drift off myself? I try to be responsible, but when I am notified of responsibilities at the last minute, it burns me.
Then our shuttle bus passes me and two pilots, in plain view, without even a slow down or back up. For me this is the third time it's happened this year. If they don't want to pick up employees (since I was told that some drivers intentionally miss us because we're not the tipping customers they want), why don't they just tell us this so we can find a better parking lot to go to?
And today I recrowned myself the CEO of the amber light brigade. I just slammed on the brakes all the way home at every traffic light. Who times those things? I don't need to be spending more money I don't have on car maintenance.
Don't get me wrong: the rest of the day went well. But I'm going to have a talk with the supervisor tomorrow to address today's issues, and try to find out why each shift there is held to a different standard and a different set of rules. I have to nip it in the bud before it blossoms.
