    To small to be me and not near enough fur.

    I no longer go near the road to many calls about Sasquatch sightings if my shirt was removed.

    Well got my truck and trailer back today. We'll see for how long, lol. Still looking, ain't shit that pays around here. Asphalt flow boy drivers pay $30 but I have no experience in that. Most jobs around here are $20 to $24 an hour. I'd take the $24 if I didn't have to drive to far for it and there was no weekends.
    I just keep looking and applying.

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    Asphalt is super easy, lots of hurry up and wait but super easy. Just be aware it might only be a seasonal job.

    Taking a personal day off today. One of my kitties passed away last night in my arms. I'm taking her to be cremated today. I'm pretty emotional with the loss of one of my family members. Being a senior they are my fur kids. I really shouldn't be driving a semi today as my mind is not where it should be.

    I can understand 100% my K-9 needing to be put down impacted me more then the passing of any family or friends.

    My thoughts are with you today, loosing a fur child can be harder then a lot of family members so take your time.

    Guys thank you all for your condolences, it really means a lot. I'm home today and my other kitties are all over me, that helps with the broken heart. I truly do believe they know what is going on. The others would not come into the room she was in after she passed. And I think they read my emotions too. But thank you all my trucking brothers.

    On a good note, I got an email from one of the companies I applied to about setting up an interview. Hr is going to check with the Manager about scheduling a time next week for an interview.
    Fingers crossed

    Your very welcome!

    Good Luck with the interview.:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

    Any more I make a cheat sheet to not forget to ask important questions no matter which side of the desk I might be on.

    I get distracted and can go off on a tangent then I forget some things.:anonymous:
