Special Kind of Dumb

So, my brother went into business for himself in the trucking line. He took a job where he left yesterday( or day before, I forget), got loaded, drove to the location, and was supposed to be unloaded this morning. He was told this morning, and the paperwork said this morning.

 

Nope. He calls in to the lady dispatching him and says "Hey, they aren't unloading me." She is surprised he thinks so. According to her screen he's going to be unloaded Monday morning.

 

Turns out, if the person writing out the paperwork doesn't input a delivery date, the computer just assigns one. Yeah. Instead of returning an ERROR: NO DELIVERY DATE SPECIFIED is just "assigns one."

 

And so my brother will be missing his 10 month old son's first Easter.

Oh man, wouldn't it be tragically hilarious if this sort of thing happened for all of the big events of his son's life? 

 

Like he lives to be 80 and he looks back on a scrapbook of his son's first Xmas, Family vacations, Wedding photos, etc and he wasn't in any of them because he was too busy with a work related emergency? 

 

And then he laments that he was never there for his family for any special events, so he photoshops old pictures of himself into the scrapbook photos just so he can feel a sense of inclusion with his family?

 

Hilarious.

Ugh. I hate stuff like this. Sorry to hear that he's missing Easter because of someone's laziness.

 

To quote my old math teacher, "Apathy is the bane of humanity."

 

...he didn't teach us much math.

That being said, 10 month olds are notoriously bad at Easter Egg hunts.  Come on, Philip; it's just on the third shelf.  Just stand up and grab it.

 

Stupid babies.
