It's all good so far

The first day back in the harness. Up early and did a modified version of the couch to 5k on the treadmill. Only 20 min but tried to work a minute of running after three minutes of walking. It’s not much but it is a start for this fat man.

Got to the facility well before the training class began. Spent the morning with the HR folks going over the employee manual. One wrinkle was finding that I needed more than a drivers license to prove citizenship. I told them that I did not realize I would need a passport to travel to South Texas.

Then it was time spent with the insurance folks. New policy to replace the COBRA which is an arm & leg. The afternoon covered the DOT policy. The HSE trainer gave me a waiver. He promised that if faced with having to operate a commercial vehicle, they would find me a driver. I told him that I have already accepted the fact that I don’t need as many personal growth experiences and am willing to let others step up and take charge of the shovel or the radio.

I have been impressed at the level of professionalism in the HSE folks that I have met so far. All of them have good things to say about the Company and our director. Looking forward to learning more of how the company operates. From what I have seen so far, it is going to require me to always bring my A-game.
