longhaul's Journal

Well, since i KNOW i'm not a crack or pothead lol i pretty much have the job !! Even tho i know i'm good to go there, i'm still holding my real elation until i get a call from the company telling me officially.

As much as i'm grateful to my father for giving me this job when i was down and out, i absolutlely HATE it here!! Sitting behind a desk is NOT my thing! A while back my father called me into his office and asked me if i was happy here and i finally decided to be honest. He appreciated it and told me that he wouldn't stop me from leaving the company if i found a driving job. He also did the same thing yesterday and i think it's because he found out i was looking, altho he doesn't know about the one i just got (unless my brother in law told him). However he told me that he will neither be surprised or upset when i do tell him i'm leaving and that it would be ok if i couldn't give notice (which i will be).

The job isn't back "on the road" so to speak. I'll just be driving a day cab shutting trailers back and forth from a railyard back to the WALMART distribution center, which is only like 3 miles away, but it gets me back behind the wheel and doing what i was trained to do and worked my ass off for, which is NOT this. It's also working nights, but you gotta take the good with the bad, right? Which i also know will SEVERELY limit my time on DS as i still don't have a computer or internet at home :(

It pays just a buck more than what i make here with incrememnt raises. Will i ever be rich ? No, but i'm a very firm believer that you have to love what you do otherwise it just drains you. My gf believes that too and she knows how much i hate this job and want to get back behind the wheel :)

Well, that's pretty much it. I'll let everyone on the boards know once i get the phone call :) I'll have two weeks before i start anyway.
