    I just fought the outbound Friday rush getting to the Jewel DC, all because Ohio and Indiana both are working on I90 and have it cut down to one lane...at 50 mph.

    Sheesh...

    Pepsi guy "Why are you here on a Saturday? We only load during the week. "
    Me: I was told it was preloaded.
    PG: you were lied to. Lucky for you, we have guy working the warehouse today to make up for missing Thursday, so he will get you loaded, it might be "awhile".

    Movie was everything I wanted it to be and more. I'll see it twice more in the coming weeks.
    Yeah I like having that convenience with them. Especially on weekends because nobody is really caring about what I do when I'm not under a load

    I'm tired and have a headache.
    I'm starting to second guess my choice to do it again.
    Cost of living keeps rising, but the income stays the same.
    Times like this I consider throwing in the towel and going company again.
    Is 9 months left on this thing worth the payoff of having it in my name in the end?
    Maybe I just need to go fishing and take my mind off the situation.

    Well are you making money now? Do you plan on keeping the truck for a long time after getting the title? Do you have a better paying company job lined up? Do you know if you want to go local/regional?

    I'm not an idiot.
    I know the common sense of having an exit strategy lined up.
    I'm thinking out loud.
    Honestly, after I get the title , I'd probably get another 1-2 yrs out of it before a major repair was needed.
    Yes I make money now, but it's not about the money now, it's about the money later.
    I like my freedom to go home when I want as long as I want. I'm only slave to my expenses at home.
    I dislike the common "earn a day off for every week out" theme at most companies.
    I like taking 10 days to go camping.
    I think I just need to go fishing.
