We got a guy sitting ARC anyway. I don't know why they wanted you." Last conversation I ever had with her.

asked me if I was
willing to cover an additional turn for 150%. Every time I had a day off rolled it was due to factors beyond the company's control; typically a cancellation at an outstation.
