    Is anyone friends with their coworkers? I’ve never hung out with any of them. Well except for once. I got so stoned I ended up sleeping at his place for night. Anyway, besides that I’m always cordial but don’t hang out with them.

    Ok. I’m sorry that post sounded bad. I slept at his place for night but I assure you nothing else happened. It was years ago.

    Take an extended vacation, like 3 weeks. Get caught up on any projects, spend more time on your hobbies (if you have one), go hiking, go fishing, etc. Watch your blood pressure drop, shed some pounds, and ask yourself "Am I ready to go back to work?" which then becomes "Do I want to go back to work? Do I really need this long haul lifestyle?" Vacations are a perfect time to explore other opportunities.
    No one is guaranteed tomorrow and no matter how much money you have, you can't buy more time.

    Had 1 of those types driving for ATS flatbedding leaving Kansas this morning. SOB refused to run above 63, until my fat blue switch got in the hammer lane at 67. He could immediately run 70+uphill. I don't care who I pass, or passes me, some of these goober need to be drug behind party row and educated.

    I've had a couple who I'm friends with even years after working together. On the average though, no I tolerated coworkers

    The ones who do that deserve to be ran off the road.

    There's a reason I don't carry on the road, and it isn't company policy.
