Tampa Bay Lightning Are Hot And So Is The Weather (Dispatchers On The Outs)

Tim Of United Taxi

A game six was guaranteed today by a 5-3 victory by the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Boston Bruins. That is fantastic for two major reasons. One, I am a Tampa pro sports fan. Two, these games are bringing money into town. Three hours leading up to the face off, all I did was take people to the St. Pete Times Forum. The Boston fans are great (so is their money). They must have thought it was strange going to a hockey match in this heat at a stadium lined by palm trees.

Not only did the Lightning win, they took it to the Bruins. The series now moves up north for a game five. This series may very well go down to the wire. As a driver that was here when the Stanley Cup was here in 2004, I know how good that event can be. Go Lightning!

All of our dispatchers are now gone back to driving taxi. With the new computer system the radio is being handled by the girls that are phone operators. I can work an entire day now without the radio even being on. That is good for my stress level because I don't have to listen to the attitude and arguing that was going on. Quality is important.
