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.
