My eye is better after using the eye drops I picked up at Walgreens this morning. The first one I went to was still closed at 7AM, but the second one opened at that time. They have a store about every two miles up here, so it is really easy to find another one if needed. I think just keeping my contacts out and using the drops will take care of it, but I still reported the injury to the instructors. Tomorrow I may have to fill out paperwork to get it covered as a workplace injury, just in case it becomes a problem.
This morning we went down by another person. At least he was just sent back to his school for further training. He can come back after he gets some more experience behind the wheel. Apparently he had just as many difficulties driving forward as backward.
Today's schedule was fairly basic, learning about the communication systems in the trucks. Then doing some backing practice in the yard. We also found out that at this point we are basically going to be hired.
I talked to a person from the training department today, they wanted to check and see if I could get myself to Romulus to meet my trainer. Since I would be able to park my car at the terminal, it will be no problem. Now I just need to find out when I need to be there. Hopefully it will be after a few days at home.
The word is that tomorrow is going to be a short day, so at the latest we should be out of there by noon. I think the first thing I am going to do is run to a car wash and spray all the dust and grime off of my car. It looks absolutely horrible at this point, and I just want to make it not nasty anymore.
