As of today Jan 19, Geoff is on Medical Leave. After the latest stupidity, I decided it was time for a break from "that place"
The straw was suffering 'consequences' for having a deer hit the side of my truck while driving to work a couple of weeks ago. There was no recognition for missing the deer that jumped out in front of me, but I can no longer drive to and from work because of the deer hitting me. (the deer suffered a worst fate)
I don't mind riding with Archie, let him dodge the deer, but I hate being treated like a 10 year old.
After I had the incident, my vehicle data monitor wouldn't download, so I guess it was automatically assumed that I was speeding. I talked to my foreman today, and he had sent the car chip away to be analyzed, and the results came back that I was traveling 89 kph on a 100 kph highway. Not speeding by any stretch.
Anyway I am recovering at home for 3-4 weeks.
Theresa has been making sure that I am not calling or being called from the plant so I indeed have time away.
I rescinded my retirement notice a couple of weeks ago because of the lousy economy and the impending recession, so I don't know what will happen when I go back.
Just living day to day right now.
