    Actually, what I think he is trying to say is you and your first trainer may not have meshed. On either yours or his side. Butted heads, whatever you want to call it. The next guy that goes with him they both may do great together. I know from my expeirence from being on the student and being on the instructor end, that if the instructor or vice versa doesnt mesh they arent going to give the student/instructor the best effort. It isnt right, but its human nature I think with some people (and, yes dangerous if not doing his safety checks). But the guy should have told the DM you two werent a good fit.
    Anyways, good luck with your new one. It looks like you are learning leaps and bounds from him....:biggrin_25514:

    Hey Lady K, when I said I made oatmeal it wasn't to the directions per say. My version is; I take three packets of quaker maple brown sugar oatmeal and put them in one of those large red plastic Solo cups (usually used at keg parties), then I take one of the bottled water next to me and poor some in the cup. Stir for 1 minute until the consistency is to my liking. Then I reach in the cabinet above my head and grab my bottle of honey and squirt some into my oatmeal. Perfect! I am a great cook, huh!? I have many other recipes while going down the road that are not only delicious but nutritious! They also involve red plastic Solo cups!

    Your old one.. he just shook his head and said that was intolerable..

    I personally I think you did the right thing; though, I would have waiting till I was back in terminal. Sometimes you just need to do what YOU need to do.

    My cousin is looking into trucking these days. I think his felony is about 25 years ago. He's 6'8" tall and about 350lb. Teardrop tatoo under his eye. Long Red beard. Tough as nails and mean as a snake. I'd love to see him get hooked up with your tormentor. He'd give trainer #1 a taste of his own medicine. A REALLY BIG TASTE!!!:biggrin_25525:
