    Anticipation of the unknown is great for keeping one awake. Pay attention and relax. It'll all fall into place soon enough. Don't rush anything and be safe Jerry.

    Welcome aboard. :)

    Because when Satan the Lord of All Evil and Ruin, Father of Lies, wants to spread his words to the masses, the best way to do it is to have some yokel in a baseball cap write 666 in the dirt on the back of a trailer.

    Seriously. I read it on the Internet. And the Internet wouldn't lie to me.

    Dropped a trailer at Lumber Liquidators in Sandston last night around 7:30pm. I got all those accompanying notes saying "DON'T GO DOWN THIS ROAD!" Unfortunately, I didn't stop to check those notes and remind myself what road I wasn't supposed to go down until it was Far Too Late. 45 minutes later, I finally made it back to the freeway.

    After dropping the trailer, I cruised around the yard looking for an empty Abililene trailer, but didn't find one. So I bobtailed back to my apartment for the night.

    This is the 2nd time I've bobtailed to my apartment. Due to the vagaries of my apartment complex layout, I have to park my truck on the other side of the complex. Both times I have parked my truck at my apartment, I have given serious consideration to only going in to my apartment long enough to grab a shower, and then heading back out to my truck to sleep, just because schlepping all my crap to the apartment and back is a pain.

    Be careful, pretty soon you will be questioning having an apt at all.

    Nah, I need a place for my kids to sleep when they visit.

    Plus, all my stuff is in my apartment.

    You caution about being too open on social media then openly admit that you would rather play games with a driver than be a man and confront them on what you deem to be objectionable behavior.

    In the spirit of your openess please state the company where you are a manager so that I may avoid working with the likes of yourself in the future.
