Rough Week

This past week had been a rough work week. We had to shut down twice due to ice and snow conditions. Then on our way back east from California I received a call that my son, Aaron, was in a wreck. His truck was completely totalled but thankfully he come away with only a bruise on his hand. We called work and that sent us straight back to Atlanta to help him. We were home in less than 24 hours.

I love my job. Old Dominion is a wonderful company to work with. Two good things did happen this week.

1. When we brought our load to Fort Worth, Texas, while we were fueling up, the terminal manager came out to us with a hot breakfast. He said that we were 3 hours early getting there and if we had been late it would have cost the company a pile of money. So he wanted to show us his appreciation.
2.  When we got to Rialto, CA, the line haul manager, Greg, told us that while he was attending a weeks worth of corporate meetings in North Carolina, our names were brought up as one of the favourite Atlanta teams.

It is nice to be recognized or just told that you are doing a good job.

This week a wrote a list of things I wanted to start doing that makes me happy, improves me, and helps me find myself. One is read daily and another is get more exercise. So I will keep you in touch on how it goes.
