THE ADVENTURES MK III - Still doing it my way

Good luck DFO! You can always be a writer too! I know you have heard this before, but you have a talent and are very good at putting thoughts down on paper in a way that amusing and interesting to read.. Best of luck dude! Stay in touch..

 

sad to see you go, but glad you're doing better! I know the struggle. Not personally, but my wife has anxiety. I learned a lot from your threads, from starting out with SNI, and now to my pursuit of IC. Stay strong, man.

 

Ok dude. Update time. how goes it after what 2 weeks on the new med?

 

Congrats on the new gig... Have fun

 

Glad to hear from you again!

Imma throw out there that you have my number, too, if you need a different perspective on things.

Keep on keepin' on!

 

The Paxil has worked great for me. I really have zero issues with it right now and it feels like my life is back to a much more normal state and is no longer a constant battle with anxiety. We've been working the past few weeks in Charlotte removing old heating oil tanks and I've been hauling the excavator and contaminated dirt out of crappy tight little neighborhoods that I would normally worry over days before we even got there.

Thanks moosc. I don't think just dump truck driving will be something I will stick with long-term, the pay just isn't there. But, my neighbor who runs it talks about retiring at some point and so there may be some business opportunities down the road... who knows. Been having fun with it, though hopefully that's the last of the two-hour-away-from-home jobs we work on for a while. Sore as can be right now. It's nice having a good person as a boss... I managed to push up against one of those little stone paver retaining walls going around a "wiggle back and fourth corner" in a driveway and didn't catch it in time in the mirror and couldn't feel it in low gear with 4.88 rear ends. Tire pushed one of the pavers out of the way and the next one didn't give and tore the sidewall. Whoops. I think I was more pissed about it than the boss man... **** happens he says. Think SNI would have put that down as an accident on a DAC report? I bet they would in a heartbeat, lol.

Thanks micki, hope you've been doing well. 'bout time to get busy again with that propane, huh? Then again it's probably already snowing up there.

 

DFO I'm glad you're happy.

Keep doing what's best for your long term health.

Put a driver in your truck and use it to earn for you.

 

Glad to hear you're doing well. It's too bad the big trucking companies have to load so much anxiety on their drivers over things that are actually small in the whole scheme of things. SNI lost a good driver over it.

 

To be fair, none of what Schneider did lead to anxiety for me. I have dealt with it all my life, the stresses and lifestyle I was living while trucking probably didn't help things either. I plan to get back to trucking at some point, still got my truck. Doesn't cost me much to keep it around, might as well finish paying it off and put it to work when I'm ready. Another driver in my truck is a good idea Tennman, unfortunately the only driver I trust in my truck is myself.

 

Gives you plenty of time to get the sunroof leak fixed.

and search for a really good flooring idea.

having time on my hands , I was thinking (dangerous I know), the hardwood floor or similar and keep it clean with a swiffer/wetjet?
