New Years Day

Happy new year. We got our first dispatch of the year first thing this morning, a meat load with two drops on in Toronto. So we grabbed an m/t trailer from the Calgary yard and ran down to Brooks. We checked the m/t in, dropped it and went back into security to get the loaded one. The woman in the gaurd shack looked everywhere for the paperwork but there was no sign of it. Turns out that 50 domestic loads were shown as loaded by the meat plant, when they wern't. So the H&R skeleton staff thought the loads were ready to travel. No problem to me, i wasn't really fused about doing much today anyway, plus i got very well paid to pick an m/t up, run it two hours and drop it. So we ran to the shell garage in Brooks and parked up. I tuned the tv in and got 1 channel, put the computer on, no internet. We then decided to go to smitty's for some food. We missed them by five minutes. So i walked over to the travel lodge and checked us in for the night, we've got good internet now, a lovely warm room with comfy beds and 100's of channels of rubbish on the tv. When i've finished on here i'll be going to soak in the bath, then lay in bed and watch tv. Oh and i almost forgot, yesterday we went to see Avatar. What a brilliant film, if you get chance go see it.
