    Very nice, looking to move in any specific direction with that? Just shuffling stuff around the yard, get into heavy haul, just see where it takes you?

    Unfortunately I did not get the call. Maybe tomorrow. I called and left a message. I hate it when people don't do what they say they are going to do.
    The guy I interviewed with and that road tested me said that the day manager would call me the next day, well that hasent happened yet.

    Nothing to report yet, I guess I play the waiting game. Good thing I haven't said anything to anyone at work. The supervisor that interviewed me seemed super excited about me so I don't get it.

    In this business it takes very little to have your planned day go completely side ways with one phone call.
