Time to spare. And other news.
13 years ago
Just remember; no matter how bad things get... they can always get worse.
Well, it seems I've got a little time to spare... A deer walked out in front of my rig this morning and I'll be in the shop getting it fixed at least until tomorrow... the only casualty being the deer, I can at least say that she went fast and didn't suffer. I feel absolutely terrible about it, but I did everything I could to avoid what happened, the last thing I wanted was to take the life of an innocent animal...
I have been able to get some work done on my story, I'm now a good portion of the way through chapter eight now, and with any luck will have it done soon. The story overall as I've said before will consist of the first ten chapters that I have posted here; after that I'll likely need quite a bit of time to think up the next part and write it out in a way that works well. No telling when that'll be though as I'm pretty sure that with the way the story is going now, I'll be working to get it finished for a few months, and maybe up to a year, if I don't lose my job in the mean time.
Speaking of which, I recently remembered reading something in the application that I filled out to get this job; according to company policy, after a certain number of days -- between 30 and 90 -- if I haven't been able to pair up with another driver for the required eight weeks after upgrading to a first seat driver, the company reserves the right to terminate my employment. Now, I'm not saying that it'll actually happen, but given the shit that's been going on in the way of my actually getting a second driver... well, let's just say that I won't be surprised if I don't have a job in a few weeks.
And now for some personal news. After more then three months of progressive down hill movement in our relationship, my girlfriend and I have decided to start over from the beginning. It had gotten to the point over the last few weeks that she and I were no longer having fun; everything seemed to get a little too serious a little too fast, and given our current situation, with her living with family that is extremely controlling and abusive, with no way out, and my not being able to visit her, for the same reason, we decided that there was no point in trying to make plans for the future right away. She and I, as of now, are in a casual relationship and are doing everything we can to make the relationship fun, while still being there for moral support. As of right now I feel that we are right where we need to be and I sincerely hope that the situation does not change for the worse.
