A New Year

A New Year.

I can’t believe that it is 2008. It seems such a short time ago that I celebrated the new millennium. Time does fly when you get older.

Well I am back at work today after being off for 11 days. The driving class starts today at Tenn. Tech @ Nashville. I am not in it. I will be calling the next few days hoping that someone dropped and that I can still get into this class. If not then it will be the next one. I came in today to a very low work load. The Mexicans that were off for a week before I was are still not back. It’s so quite here today that you would think we were having an immigration inspection. With new immigration laws that came into effect January 1 they will have a harder time getting this cheap help. I hope that it will improve the unemployment rates here. My employer complains about the quality of people he gets. He does get some good people but treats them horrible, yells at them, degrades them, and pays them poorly while shorting them on their time. Then he gets irritate when they quit. That is why they like hiring Mexicans; they are the only ones that will take it. He doesn’t treat his own family much better but they are incompetent to go anywhere else and make anything. They also live in his houses rent free. It would take a lot for them to stand up to him. He is the employer from hell. I hope to be out of here soon and on the road.

Happy new year to all.
