Schneider Orientation Day #2
October 10 2018
Didn't sleep worth a crap last night, tossed and turned and kept waking up, afraid I was gonna over sleep and miss the shuttle to school. Any way got to school, and updated our log books, and went out to the yard, were we got our instructions on expectations and what we would be doing. We split up into 2 groups of 14 ( we have about 6 trucks we use), half of us went to drive on the road and half stayed on the yard. I got to drive first. We just went around town, when we got to a stopping place to switch drivers. When we stopped he looked at me and said "Okay, you have a little more driving experience then others don't you?" I said uh yeah. He said "Well just hang with us for this short time and you will get along just fine and be a great employee, I don't have any issues with your driving"
Well that is humbling, but thank you.
Back to the yard for slow speed maneuvers, MY NEMESIS the alley dock, ugh, how I loathe thee. So the trainer said "Okay I am going to WALK YOU THROUGH how to do this" WOW AMAZING Totally different set up then Titan's "Figure it out", so we got to do it 4 times, the first time with the trainer IN THE TRUCK, the 2nd time with the trainer NEXT to the truck, the 3rd time we had to do it alone. I built up confidence and asked if I could attempt to float it in. Basically once you start moving backwards you don't stop until are in the alley, instead of stopping and pulling forward and readjusting, nailed it. Instructor said "bet you can't do it again" Challenge Accepted, pulled around the parking lot set it up and nailed it AGAIN, first time. He said "well we seemed to have fixed your backing issue" Woohoo. After everyone was finished we went inside to update our logs, get any last notes from our instructors and mount up on the orange cheese wagon go head back to the hotel for the eve. All and all a GREAT Day at work.
Got back to the Hotel, hopped on the old book face and got to reconnect with an old buddy of mine, use to work Fire/Ems with what seems like 100 years ago, was great to hear and catch up with him.
Found a new bible plan that is a study application bible plan that will take me through the whole bible in a year, really loving it.
Galatians 1:10 NLT
"Obviously I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God, if pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's Servant.
In your day to day life "Whom are you trying to please, the world? I promise you, if you try to please people you will fall short of that and will not be able to please everyone. But if you try and please God then you will please him and find favor in him.
