I'll be away and without my computer until Sunday.

It's a good thing. See you then.
razorshimmy:
Woot! Have a good time, man. That sounds hells of nice.

I hope vaca is going swimmingly. Lizardo is sore from tossing boxes and stressed from trying to find places.

I'm done with driving a truck. I'm beginning a new career immediately.



As a Sith Apprentice. Laugh all you want. You'll change your tune when I have you in a Force Choke.

In other news, West Virginia must be the most beautiful place that I hate going. And I say that only in a professional capacity. The state's highways are a winding, climbing collection of...

Thank you. smile

I've had box tossing jobs before, so that's not such a big deal. I have a lumbar belt from when I worked briefly at Cracker Barrel where it's standard issue equipment and noone ever wears them. Had orientation today, they promised me good money and hellish places to back into. About what one would expect.

I imagine I'm not the only one who is furious with the current state of things. But it is my own fault. I will take my share of the blame for having put him in office (at least the first time). Of course, I'd like to chalk the whole thing up to shenanigans... which obviously did occur... but many of us still voted for him....

My new traveling companion:



This is my new folding bicycle stored for traveling safety. Well... as best as I could manage.

Well, I hope get enough downtime to have fun with it. Not that I don't want you earning the big bucks.

A recent poll indicates that 55% of Americans believe that our Constitution established the United States as a Christian nation.

I'm here to tell you that 55% of Americans are dead wrong, if that is what they believe. WRONG. I'm beside myself with disbelief that the MAJORITY of us are that fucking ignorant. The entire idea simply disgusts me to no end. Not even so...

Yeah it occurred to me that the Family Dollars are going to be in car parking lots. At least hopefully I won't have to do too much more backing trailers into tight docks between espensive shiny tractor trailer trucks. And If I'm on a fixed circuit maybe I'll get to know the peculiarities of where I'm going and how to deal with such.

I daresay if you hate christianity that intesely trucking must be a highly alienating profession. I don't generallly make a point of hating christianity the way you do, and as a Buddhist I oughta be tolerant, but the sheer stupidity and prevalence of christianity really gets on my nerves.

Werner really pisses me off. I sent in a message that I was going to run out of hours before getting to consignee and the response was check for excessive line 4 logs to fix. So I came to the cons and I have log violation on my qualcomm so I sent in a request for a change from line 4 to line 1 in one place on my log yesterday. I really really hope to get that shit behind me doing FD. Maybe I won't but you have to hope for things and try to find things that are better.

Actually, it sounds like that Brasso stuff is closer to what was described to me, but I doubt trying out what you have first will hurt it.

I own more movies than I have storage space for. DVDs, specifically. I've actually parted ways with all but a couple of my VHS tapes. Which seemed the sensible thing to do since I'd re-purchased anything I truly cared about in disc format anyhow. Plus I don't own a VCR anymore. This problem also extends to my compact discs. Currently the majority of those are...

Get a messanger bag! That is what all the cool kids are wearing nowadays!
The one I have is a Dickies one and they come in lots of different colors!
Manpurse = Messanger bag!

Don't tell anyone, but I used to carry a small first aid kit in mine!
That was the boy scout in me!

Oh yeah, you can also buy little pouches and stuff for the messanger bag. I think I got mine at www.timbuk2.com

Oh yeah, my roommate has around 800 DVDS and now is collecting movies from the internet and netflix. He has 3 huge binders full already!

I don't go to blockbuster when I want to see a movie, I just go upstairs and snag one from the rommate!

Yeah, I worked for the company for a while, so I know some of the people who created the last version. That's what Saturday was, a house convention of sorts. Other than being a little awkward to explain to first dates, it's a hobby that works out okay.

Random thoughts for the day include:

-Flipping off a camera when having your picture taken seems to me a rather dumb thing to do. Is that really how you want to be immortalized in film? Whatever. It makes no sense to me and looks pretty low-class in my opinion. If this includes you, then I implore you to have some dignity.

-Rode around a little...

Mountain bike with road tires is the most versatile setup to have.

I don't think I remember you mentioning being divorced before. I daresay one reason why I want to get off of the over the road deal is because I'm single and getting old.

Well the folding bicycle finally arrived. Little thanks to UPS for fucking me over as usual. We have one seriously lazy driver. Didn't come here. Didn't leave a delivery notice. Yet when I checked the tracking in the afternoon, he said he had and that no one had been home.

Complete lies, since I was here all afternoon! Doorbell never rang.

I ended up driving...

Mexican trucks will --> soon be coming to a road near you. <--

This is bad for all Americans. Not just those of us whose jobs are most directly threatened. Trust me, the Bush Administration has sold us all out. You already know that when you call tech support you get outsourced to India. Well this is much, much worse. Every Mexican truck I've ever...

It was bales of compacted paper for recycling. They say my truck is almost done getting the new starter put in. I guess somebody else will be taking the bales of paper down to KY but I had a preassigned load down near where I was going to drop off the bales, so,. . . or maybe there's no so.

Thank you! love kiss I really appreciate it!

I find it to be an interesting coincidence that exactly one year ago... Labor Day weekend... I was down in Tampa, Florida. Because that's where I am right now. A year ago I had a delivery going to Tampa for the Tuesday following the holiday. There was a lot of extra time so I had about a day and a half to have fun at...
