**Reason to quit this job   #  ?
 Regarding a driver named "Manny".
Denny and I were under the impression that "Manny" had a company car at home with him. A NEW car, just acquired a few days ago, in time for the event yesterday.  This driver was supposed to come and leave this car at base and switch to some different car ( as this car was not yet legal to make LAX pickups, and as such not very useful to Dispatch).  
 9 pm: the driver called sick, flu symptoms, unable to work on Tuesday.
I said, "Okay feel better" and hung up
Denny said, "He has to bring the car in."
This driver leaves as far from the office as I do; 35 miles, more or less.  I saw no reason to drag this driver out, having flu symptoms, to return a car to base that we weren't going to use.
Denny called Manny to tell him to bring the car to base.
Manny said, I dropped the car at base on Monday morning.
Well, oh. 
I still mentally objected to the order to have Manny bring the car to base, but I did not say anything.
I'm just going to stew about it, and add it to "my list".

**Reason to quit this job--
Tay is on our schedule for Tues pm.
When he finished on Monday pm, we (Denny and I) sent him first job for Tuesday.
He called in, "I'm not working on Tuesday.  Didn't <the chauffeur manager> tell you?"
No, he didn't, something that seems to happen two of the four times a week that I'm here, and who knows how many times on the days n nights I'm NOT here?

Out 23:58
