There were a couple of others you suggested that I also liked but can’t remember now. I have to go back and check the thread to see if I can find them. As far as your faulty memory goes, well, join the club my friend.I feel like we go right from summer to Christmas now, don’t we? It seems that as soon as it turns to autumn we’re seeing the Christmas decorations in the stores. But I have to admit that it kind of grows on me pretty quickly. It’s a great time of year and puts (most) people in a good mood despite all the madness.Funny cause now I’m noticing more and more of them when I’m in other peoples homes now, so maybe we do have them more than I realized and I’m just more conscious of it now? We actually went down to the low 60s last week. It came out of nowhere and it felt really good. I’m not a big cold weather fan but it was a nice change for a couple of days. I know the low 60s in Fahrenheit doesn’t sound cold to you right now but trust me when I tell you that’s winter weather for us LOL!! But it didn’t last long and now it’s right back up in the 80s again. Yes, it did. I noticed it everywhere I went. I guess we were all on edge during that time considering it was something we had never experienced before but for a lot of reasons it was also a time to appreciate the little things we probably take for granted. The biggest difference with the job then was the understanding of the customers. We were delayed constantly cause we were short people as a lot of drivers were getting sick so stuff was getting delivered later than usual or not even getting delivered at all. But I don’t remember hearing one complaint that entire time about showing up late. Thank you Lashes! I really appreciate you saying that. I’m still processing this whole thing to be honest. I’m walking around that building in a daze lately whenever I start thinking about it. I guess it’s gonna take time. I love this!As much as I love being on the road, it’s probably time to do something else. I got sick in July and basically got severely dehydrated. It happens down here very easily with the heat. Looking back on it I wasn’t drinking nearly  enough water at the time. You get caught up in the job and trying to get done and it’s easy to forget how much water you need. I didn’t realize how serious dehydration could be but it took me about three weeks before I got back to normal. So now I bring two jugs full of water to work every day and I haven’t had anything else to drink but water since this happened. I ended up in the emergency room but luckily some rest and putting myself on a strict diet and tons of water all helped. It was a tough road back. My point of this ramble was it put things in perspective for me. It made me realize that I really want to do something else with the company and get the heck out of this heat once and for all LOL!! So that’s why I’m looking into the change. Have a great week my friend!</blockquote>
