    I just had a vision of Supervisor O'Boyle from King of Queens :whistle:

    Congratulations on the move up, Speedy. Nice for a milestone year.

    Ha Ha...or the episode where Doug fills the position for the day...

    Congrats on your new position at work. Just don't start your first conversation with a driver by saying "What took you so long, when I had that route it only took me........."
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    Having just become a team lead myself, my one piece of advice: Make sure you think about what your mgmt style is going to be and hit the ground running on day 1. You'd be surprised at how many new managers flounder in their first couple of weeks and it takes them a VERY long time to recover, if at all.

    Would that make him Sir Speedy? Maybe we should get him one of these . . .

    Hey thanks norm!
    I appreciate it.

    The circumstances were just too damned good to pass up. Working nights, with only 2 of us running the show. The other guy, warehouse manager, is one of my best friends on the planet. He has 18 years in with the company, I have close to 10. The 2 of us will get the job done, no problems, no drama.

    Plus it's just time to get out of the damned truck. 20+ years with no accidents and no moving violations? Its almost unheard of. As I get older, I realize I just cant drive for another 20 years.
    The constant stress will sooner or later eat me up. Having to always be at your absolute best, while driving a 53ft trailer, through the city and suburbs, is stress I wouldn't wish on anyone. I have been doing it a long time. I have done it well.

    Its time to move on to something else.
    Take me piece by piece.....
