Its amazing how much a general labor type of job can just totally gut your insides, as in creativity, after working such a job for a few days.
Mindless labor jobs just like strip mine your insides.

I've gotta work today.
I don't like waking up in the morning with spare time before work, cause to me, time before work is dead time, you can't get into anything, and it's better spent sleeping.
Unless have a family to tend to, but I don't.
But ye, it's Thursday which is my Monday.
I've been off for 4 days, and could use another 40 days off, 100 days off, if not for that pesty thing known as rent and other fixed expenditures.
-------------------
New relationships can be stressful, one minute you think it's working, than you don't, than you do.
I'm older, so more steady in my emotions and approach, but when younger, relationships can really tear your emotions apart.

Just another dull day at work, followed by another dull day of work tomorrow, where creativity not allowed, input not allowed, instead just show up and move product, talk to no one, and supposedly feel like you've accomplished something, ye OK. I only keep this dead job do to the schedule. But life is about change, so we'll see. If I can find another job, that I like more, sure, may have to work more days in a row, but if will improve my over all happiness, well, we'll just have to see.  |

Now days, actually for the last few decades, more and more women are getting into trucking  Trucking can be a lot of things, as with any job or career....or trucking can be like a bad marriage also... www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/trucking-can-be-like-a-bad-marriage.68681/That was actually 'me', in that 'trucking can be like a bad marriage', thread, on the Truckers report, years and years ago. But that aside, life is about growing and exploring. But ye, trucking can be like a bad marriage, just depends on where your heart and soul is at the time. But like with anything, you need to grow, and just like if your spouse doesn't grow with you, then you tend to drift apart. Not that trucking hasn't grown and changed, but often times those new changes has diminished the value of the trucker more and more into nothing more than mindless labor. But again, trucking covers a very broad area of jobs. 1. Over the road trucking, sleeper trucks, truck stops, ect 2. Local container type of trucking, in and out of the ports 3. Class B type of trucking, as in dump trucks, cement trucks, local stuff, where in and out of shop daily. 4. Oversized load type of trucking. 5. Flatbed, step deck, tankers. And I could go on, the main thing is to find your niche, and or some even go on to create their own trucking companies, where they're known as 'Owner operators'. Or you can 'lease to own' your own truck (Do not do that, lol) Bottom line, whichever type of trucking you decide on, your mind and heart has to be into it, like with anything else. Also, there's the whole admin side of logistics, like freight broker, freight handler, dispatcher, terminal manager, ect, even Warehouse careers. The demand for freight is only growing, so either path you chose you'll do OK at and or even prosper, just remember, always continue to educate yourself along the way, cause as you get older, the more career options you have, the more you'll thank yourself.

I'm finding that I just need a overall good decent education, again.
It's been so long since I've been in school, college, ext, that I think I just like need to start all over again and get myself up to speed on what's going on today.
Maybe I'll enroll in the local community college, and just simply actually try going to college again.
That can be daunting, I'd have to take who knows how many refresher courses, including math, but I really do need to sharpen my brain again if plan on competing in this new world.

Ye, my brain has just basically gotten lazy over the years.
I mean when all you do is show up to work, and work a manual labor or driving job, your brain tends to get lazy, cause you really don't have to do any critical thinking.
Years of mundane work has indeed made my brain lazy, that and drinking beer, D'oh!

I mean look, I can't solve this math, I used to could, but not now, not anymore, my brain has gotten really math rusty, and this is like for college entry type of math, what 12 graders need to know to enroll in college level math, see if you can solve click to enlarge But ye, I really do, as a older person, I really do need some math refresher courses to build my confidence back up, for sure.

Well, my time off is about over.
As soon as I go to bed, and then wake up, I'll be a labor slave tomorrow.
Oh well, that's just the way of man...
It's not my way, I didn't invent this slavish system....OK

Going to work late, just makes you day longer, cause whether you start at 12 noon or not, you're up by 8-9 am, and so just end up wasting energy before work, and get home late.
Whereas if start early, you wake up, dress, ect, and go to work while still have that morning energy, and then you get off earlier cause you started earlier.
I hate when other people determine anything in my life, cause they always get it wrong.
(oops, meant to post this this morning)

Just getting home from work, oh what a day
Oh what a day, trailer brakes ceased up while in traffic, a back road, thankfully it was a 2 lane or 4 way highway.
So sat there for a while, cops came, trailer had to be towed to a Flying J, this and that, and now back home.
Never carried out mission today, oh well, stuff happens beyond my control.
Home now, mood is improving much over a few days ago.
When I'm off work for days, and if I drink liquor, liqour, even very small amounts, can really twist my mood, enhance whatever mood I'm in.
If in a loving mood, I get more loving, if in a goofy mood, I get more goofy, but if annoyed, liquor makes me more annoyed...
If I didn't drink beer or liquor, I think over all I'd be a much happier and healthier person...not that I'm not already healthy, but I always set myself back by drinking, when off, home, and emotionally bored.
--------------------------
Anyways, home a bit early this evening, so I guess I'll make a 'to do list'...
On nights that I know I must work the next day, they just never ever feel as fun.

When I get home from work, I can be so grouchy at times, that's probably cause the job I have, well, you work really long shifts, but is then why get many days off during the whole week.
