New Job (concerns)
13 years ago
Just remember; no matter how bad things get... they can always get worse.
Well this aught to make everyone happy, I may very well have a new job working for US/Express; nothing's set in stone yet, have to wait until Thursday to find out for sure... Talk about scared, I haven't been behind the wheel of a truck for almost a year, hopefully I don't funk my driving test, since pre-trip never was my strong suit... I'm not every vocal about what I do, even though I know what to do, and the numbers have long since vanished... plus the anticipation is a pain, but I'll manage that well enough.
What I'm really worried about is what will happen when my girlfriend can't talk to me every night because I or my second driver is either sleeping or I am way too busy to talk... This is going to really test our relationship, and I really hope that we can learn to adjust, because eventually, I plan to go solo and take her along with me. She means the world to me and I think that the only real reason I turned back to trucking was because I want to give her the life that her parents/grandparents never gave her, she deserves better than that and I want so badly to give it to her; this is the first step toward doing that... I just hope that it's not the last step.

I'll likely be going down to Dallas either Saturday night or Sunday morning, depending on what the scheduling department says, but either way I'm getting the royal stink eye from both of my parents for taking a driving job (which they've been pushing me for over a year to get) over a job working with electricity... I'll be driving team for a long while so hopefully I'll be able to have an easier time learning the job than I did at transam, and not have my confidence royally drained after only a couple of weeks. I'm in this for the long haul, and have a reason to stay, regardless of what my parents want me to do... As far as I'm concerned, they don't have a say in this because it's already done.
And as for editing, as I always say, take your time... I'm having trouble at the moment with the story, so I'm not much past the sixth chapter... which was only a page long; I'm still struggling with chapter names, and details are suffering a bit but I am trying to work through it; I think my biggest problem is trying to add detail into a scene that is predominantly dialogue driven... that's always been a pain...
good luck with the job. we will talk soon :)
