On most days my fiancé is the sweetest person in the world, and once you get past the fact that he is 6'6 and 320 pounds and seemingly you haven't run away in fear, he will make you laugh. I do believe he is more likely to kill through his jokes then he would any other way. Except for today, today is one of those days that you might not want to get in his way. We have been in Florida since Sunday night and we are still in Florida for the evening thankfully we finally got a load. Now understandably so Monday was a national holiday Martin Luther King day. Though my fiance wished he could unload that day but he couldn't. So we woke up early Tuesday morning at 4 am got there about 6 am. We were out of there by 8 and at a Truck stop by 9. But there was no loads so we were thinking we where going to have our 34 hour restart.To those of you who are not truckers, I have mentioned the 70 hours before which I am still not completely sure how this works but a 34 hour restart clears your clock so you have the 70 hours for an 8 day period. But Alas that is not the case this morning he received a message to go up north to Gainesville,FL for better planning starting his clock. This altogether was a big mess being there are no Truck stops in Gainesville and it was a crowed city making maneuvering around the city a dangerous feet where I was gripping my seat. The only place to park a Walmart parking lot. So 15 minutes later we received a another message telling us to head to Georgia the load is being put in the computer now. The load doesn't have to be picked up til tomorrow and it won't be delivered til Friday. So to say the least my sweet teddy bear of a fiancé was more like a grizzly bear today. His anger due to lack of efficiency, and I can't really blame him for being angry either.

Bad Day
