Somebody, please, talk me out of this.

  1. I've been thinking much about trucks, of all the things.

    Mind you, I don't mean those shiny Chevys or Toyotas. I don't understand using an industry-grade vehicle just to haul a single tukhes around.

    No, I mean the ones that haul big trailers accross the country.

    I've had the misfortune of reading that some companies are willing to train you, as long as you lease your immortal soul to them for one year.

    Pros: no nauseating office environment (I suck at politics), no artificial smiles executed with acting so poor it wouldn't fool an eight-year-old. Maybe, enough times to scribble a short story here and there. Not to mention being free to think about whatever the heck I want. I sometimes entertain myself by solving math problems in my head while driving.

    Cons: a huge pay cut.

    Any other reasons not to do something that looks like it could make me a lot happier?

    Do it because you want to. Not because you have to.

    Whatever choice you choose, happy travels :D

    Doesent sound that bad. And you will have one more option of what you want to do with your life. Maybe you could do white collar work part time and some truck work in the future.

    Morbid obesity.

    Yeah, that.

    On the second thought... you know that pssssst
    sound they make when they stop. Love it every
    time I hear it.

    Nothing says big like having to go 'pssssssst-wooshhh' every time you stop.

    Ah, great! Now I know the answer to that 'why do you want this job' question in the application. If I ever get to filling it out.

    Can't you just drink lots of soda without the truck? :D

    If it makes your life happier, do it.

    Don't overanalyze. If you can afford the pay cut and you think it will make you happier, do it, if for nothing more than to see some wonderful countryside and cross another "what if" off your list.

    The year will fly and you might like it. Or hate it. Either way, you'll know.
