  That's my thought process.   Have some good contacts at the local union
office as well.

  They are very important you see, every extra peice of electronic
equipment they have strapped on their belt makes them an extra $25,000 a
year. ;)

  Yep.  Today was only 10 hours as I left early.  I owed the company $75 on
my way out.  Like to see them collect as my hack driving days are over. :)

 BF> Don't you have a law against working that much?

  Yes and No.  See it's really a 12 hour shift.  Just you go in an hour
early and if there's a car you take it, and if it's busy at 4:00 and no one
is waiting for your car you stay out an extra hour.

  I had some drunken idiot try to jump in the window after I started
driving away with her boyfriend tonight, i bet I drag her 20 feet before I
knew she was hanging onto the door.  I kicked him out of the cab to deal
with her, and left them.  That's when I gassed it back up and dropped it
off at the office and came home.

  Toooooo much drama out there, and the money isn't good enough to risk
being shot in the face.

Regards,
Shawn
