    End of life care takes a special breed. Much respect to your girlfriend. We're trained to keep some detachment between us, but it's hard when touching people and relating is part of the job.

    College boy then low level white collar managerial job in logistics. Got tired of office work so I went to driving school. I'm just about done with trucking though for now at least. Seen enough and want to try something else. Maybe someday when I can buy my own truck and trailer and work for myself I'll come back to it. im not doing this job driving somebody else's POS so they can profit off me any longer. Too time consuming, too much sacrifice in lifestyle, too dangerous health wise, etc.
