MORE UPDATES
ok here is a few more updates from my wonderful work place ...It is official I will have a arrogant man for boss as of March 1. I still am not the happiest person about the whole thing but I do need my job ,being I am a single parent. So for now I will have to grin and bare it , until something better comes along or the end or they decide to close the terminal I work at .
My new boss will be a 31 yr old man who doesn't have a clue about how to run the terminal .He worked at a scuba shop before coming to work at our teminal only 5 yrs ago . Somewhere or somehow he is related to Nancy so I guess family means more then friendship and loyalty. But I must say that I did express all of my feeling to Nancy this week , which made me feel somewhat better . And then this past Friday me and the arrogant jerk ( Nathan ) had some loud exchange of words as well. I told him some of my feelings, too.
Anyway on to more up beat things....I have moved up to the new techinal way of gossiping besides having a blog to vent on I have joined facebook , getting used to it and trying to learn all things that can be done on facebook. I can say that I have located several folks I know - a cousin I have not talked to in years, friends I went to school with even if I don't remember them , and friends I do remember and see every day. So if you are a facebook members maybe we can be friends.

LIFE AT WORK
Today I learned some news that greatly upset me . The woman that has been my boss for the last 16 years has decided to quit/retire/ leave not sure what to call it . But that is is not the worst part, there are only 2 other folks int he office . Me and a guy ,who has only been there for 5 years . Well I have discovered he makes 200+ more then me a week but
was told today that after Nancy leaves he will be the boss. That was a HUGE slap in the face , being that I am able to do everything that Nancy does as far as the paperwork and other things . She told me that he would get the position because he is in operations . Personally those few words told me just exactly what she thought of me and all of my work history ,basically she thinks it sucks and she doesn't have any faith in me to be able to do the job,that hurts.
I told Nancy that I would not be working there if he became my boss , he is an arrogant jerk who thinks he is so much better at everything , but the one thing he is really good at is sucking up to the higher ups. So within the next few months I will looking a a career change after 16+ years . So wish me luck ...Who knows maybe me and the other drivers that leave will be able to all go to the same place.

GIFT CARD PROBS
I just want to warn folks about some gift card problems I had over the weekend. My son received a gift card from Toys R Us as a award from school ...He took it on Dec 22,2008 and made a purchase. There was a remaining balance of 30.00 on the card and showing on the receipt. Well on Saturday we went back to Toys R Us to purchase a Wii Memory card with the balance, upon arrival at the cashier we discovered that the remaining balance was gone. I was a very unhappy customer after the discovery. I paid a visit to the manager, and told him my story and was told I needed to contact the 1-800 number listed on the gift card. Once outside I made the call and was told that a hour after my son and mother made their purchase at Toys R Us someone else had used the balance of 30.00 . So I have now had to open an investigation into what happen to the balance. So my advise to all of you is beware fo the cashier, and other folks at the store where you received a gift card for , because I have discovered balances seem to disappear. I will advise the outcome of the investigation and if I don't get the right answer you might see me on our local news with Calvin Sneed.

CUSTOMER SERVICE PROBLEM UPDATED
Ok if you have read my previous entry concerning my problems with the 2 salemen
at Capital Toyota in Chattanooga. Then I must share with you what I did today . As
you also can see by my other previous entry I am the proud owner of Stanley
( 09 Toyota Camry) So anyway today on my way home I got to thinking and
decided to go back to Capital Toyota to let those 2 terrible salesmen know
that they lost a sale . I called the salemen out (Tony) , then showed him my
new car ,informed him that I purchased a Camry even though he told me
otherwise . I must say he looked shocked, maybe he had never had anyone
come back and tell him that before..He even went as far as to act like there
was something wrong with my car or I had gotten a stripped down model , which
I made sure he realized it was brand new , LE package and the also informed
him that the price I paid was so much better then he could have ever offered
me ...Anyway I left there feeling so much better plus having a big smile
on my face
So if you are looking for a great deal on a new Toyota ,along with great
customer service I suggest you check out
High Country Toyota in Scottsboro,
Alabama and make sure and tell Marti Hi from a very happy customer in
Chattanooga.

Ok some of you that know me and my son are already aware of the fact that he names all of our vehicles we own . Well let me introduce you to Stanley ...
As I stated in my other entry I have been wanted a Toyota Camry for a while but after the terrible experience I had a Chattanooga dealership I was sure I would not have one . Well I went to High Country Toyota
and was able to get a 09 Camry LE ..Which my son named Stanley ...So I thought I would share with everyone ...So if you see me out on the roads in Chattanooga peep and say HI! to Stanley ...

DEPRESSING NEWS
Today I was continuing to help that friend of mine that is homeless. Well he is in the
hospital and has been there for a couple of weeks , we have been working on getting his
paperwork completed so that he can start receiving disability. Today found out that even though this process began before he entered the hospital it has to be restarted since he
is now back in the hospital . Which to me seems like a bunch of crap. Even though all the forms have been submitted and all the visits with their doctors have been done., he will now have to go back thru and have another doctor evaluation. And if that is not enough he was
told by the hospital that even though he is still in need of rehab , they can not locate a
facility that will take him reason being he has no insurance, and he is a extra big person.
Ok he is homeless so how can he get insurance. So they told him they were going to drop him off at the Union Gospel Mission in Chattanooga to sleep and then in the AM he would
have to go and hang out at the Salvation Army . Then the next night hopefully be able to
spend another night at the mission. Now this is a person that needs a walker, is on oxygen
and taking breathing treatment .
And if you can imagine it gets worse he has 2 grown kids. A son who is actually not
worth anything ( Meth head ) and a daughter who could care less until there is
something in it for her. Of course his daughter ( the mother of his only grandchild) would
prefer to let her estranged husband stay with her ( when he is not with his girlfriend)
then to show some respect for her father. I just can't understand how anyone could
treat their parents that way . I mean prefer to let them stay at a nasty shelter intstead of
taking them into their home regardless of how sorry then think he/she is .

HORTON
My son finally had a outing for spring break , since he had to have
surgery he spent the week recovering but today we finally got out of the
house .
We went to see Horton Hears a Who. I must say that I was
impressed with the movie. Of course I love Dr Suess even though I
do not like Green Eggs and Ham in a box or with a fox . I highly
recommend going to see Horton
even if you don't have kids, I think you would enjoy it . And if you go and
see it I hope you don't come out of the movie sounding like I did today where
I thought everything needed to sound like a Dr Suess book .
Enjoy Horton and remember
What the heck ...Save a speck..

TRUCK DRIVERS
I work for a trucking company in Chattanooga and this week we celebrate
Driver Appreciation Week , from what I understand it is not just the company that I work for that does this . But we have lunch and snacks everyday for the
drivers and tell them how what a good job they do , of course
I think they do a great job all year not just one week out of the year . So if you happen to know any truck drivers out there make sure and tell them thanks this week for all the hard work cause without them folks would not all the stuff in the store that they like to go and buy.So THANKS guys for the hard work.
