Doors of sleep hit you with the friendship feels Sounds great
@Montie-Adkins2 күн бұрын
I had to stop and think. I have no real life friends, so maybe it hit me because I want some and good ones. OR, if I had friends it might hit me because I would love said friends. Either way, the Feels!

You did a good job presenting this without going off the deep end for either political school of thought. I hate hate hate politics and the conflict and animosity it has created in our present society, and I am easily triggered by extremes on either end of the spectrum. The fact that you were able to discuss this for 15 minutes without giving me anxiety is a credit to your presentation skills. That being said, I don't think I will be reading this one!

Sorry to hear that you lost your job. That's really sucks. Is there any chance that you have a Class A CDL? If so, it shouldn't be hard to find another driving gig. But if you don't, a lot of companies will help you get it. Trucking companies of all shapes and sizes need drivers, local, regional, and over the road. And the money can be pretty good. I recently retired from a big trucking company, and they've been hounding me to come back ever since. Good luck finding something👍
