The time has come.....

If you're going to be in the Denver area on friday, 2/4/11.....STAY OFF THE SIDEWALKS!

I'm testing.....

Any pointers? I know, relax and all that. I'm just going to be on pins and needles till then. I'm excited, and scared. Not sure which emotion is stronger at the moment. There is definately an unhealthy dose of anxiety in there as well.

I'm gonna try to remember high school tests, and military tests.....I know the job, know how to do it, know I can do it, and try to treat the test the same. I never had so many butterflies in my stomach for those, this shouldn't be any different. Right?












RIGHT?

 

Well, after 2 delays due to weather and equipment issues....I"m going today to test. Its supposed to be 60. They rescheduled due to snow/ice the first time, then the day I was supposed to test (second day) was below 0 and some jackwagon set the trailer brakes and froze them solid, so they rescheduled again.....today is the day.

I am a bit upset about the rescheduling, as I've been out of the truck for 3 weeks now. Hopefully my nerves will settle before I start the skills portion of the test. I'm fine when I've been driving for a few minutes, so I should be ok once I get through the airbrakes portion.....its just a big difference going from my little Cavalier to a 70' long jointed beast.

 

Thanks, one less person to worry about.......I HOPE they don't make me drive that far! On that note though, you should stay off them anyway, someone MIGHT be testing near you!

 

oh, I'm not really nervous. Anxious, sure....I want to be done with it. Scared? A little maybe, the tester seems like an ok guy though. I suppose I am a little nervous, but not really the bad, "screw stuff up" nervous. Just jittery, thank goodness I don't have to have a physical with my test today, I'm sure my heart rate and blood pressure would be WAY off normal. I'll be ok. I know the job, I know how to do it, I have done it, and can do it again. Mostly, I think I'm just excited. I'm a little sad though, because even getting tested today, I'll have to go back out tomorrow and get my permit turned into a real license. I hate the DMV.....that place always manages to drive me insane. I suppose I should get ready to go though, appointments in just over an hour, and its a 30 minute drive.....the closer I get the more I feel the nerves.....I'll be ok though.
