All in all it was a good week. Most of the week I remembered why I really love my job. I got hugs and kisses from almost everyone each time I saw an old face, "where've you been?" "we missed you!" "glad you're finally back!" I swear, for a bunch of truckers, they are quite the sentimental fools! Ok, yeah, they also missed looking at my ass, but like I said, they're truckers!
Seriously, tho I love my job! It was my saving grace when I needed a new start in life after my world collapsed in the wake of my then husband's revelations. I regained confidence and could look people in the eyes again, dimples got their due.
The ups on trucking? I have a mobile office, the scenery changes with every mile, I get to be out in the sunshine when you cubies are stuck in the office, listening to anything I want in ghr radio or iphone as LOUD as I want (usually turned to an XPN station) and talking on the phone, (I have a blue tooth earpiece so I stay more connected with friends and family) Trucking burns nearly 300 calories per hour and is very active.
The downs? Bad weather,I HAVE to be out in it, holidays are busy, so I rarely have off and the roads can be a nightmare! I work evenings and weekends(better pay weekends, tho!) oh, yeah, the WORST part? Stupid drivers that have no common sense. (watch for future post on THAT issue!)
Ummmm, oh yeah, the other worst thing about being a lady trucker... Really having to pee and no place to stop!
Anyhow, it is nice to be back.
