That's a great way to go about it. Timing is everything though, I think I'd wait a little while. Plus, like you said above Mackman, you just cost the man some money.

It would have made a great story if you would have asked for a raise the same day you cost the bossman money. :lol: That takes balls.

Wed nite I accidently hooked my trailers backward so the lead trailer got put to the dock and the tail got put in the yard which should've been the other way around. A dock worker stood around for a half hour waiting for his trailer. Then Thurs nite I left my cell in my car. That turned out OK as no one could call me and it was kinda peaceful. I wasnt going to be asking for no favors that week either!

BTW, I posted to your other thread about losing keys.
