Pizza Delivery Driver's of the Forum Unite!

[Uncletruck]

At least delivering pizza you are home every day. I drove that damn truck over the road for 10 years, talk about having NO life what-so-ever!
I worked days, nights, weekends, holidays in rain, snow, ice, wind, desert heat and arctic cold. And even though there is drug screening in place, some truckers still pop pills and smoke pot, and there are still plenty of lot lizards to go around for anyone who wants one. It was cool that I got to see most of the country, but I never really got to enjoy it because the job was no paid vacation.

Even so, I met my wife while working out on the road, and managed to carry on a relationship that way for nearly a year until I sold my truck and came off the road. The experience as an owner operator even gave me enough dicipline and credible managerial skills to land a job with Xerox once I settled back down. So every experience counts for something, you just have to beleive in yourself enough to make it happen.

No one noticed who I ripped off with the title to this thread? (Sorry, but I am a bit drunk right now. Do we need a drunken post smiley?)

I thought you don't like to drink?

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

Well, I usually don't but I did last night because I am very depressed. It had been a long time since I had really drank, and my tolerance for it is very low. There are times in my life when I quit caring about anything and I do things I normally would not do. Yes, I am wrong to do so, but it does sometimes happen. I was looking for something to cover up my intense feelings of despair and that was the easiest thing to do. All I really want to do is sleep, and when I am not sleeping I want to cover up the despair with something ANYTHING to stop feeling this sad. The pain is just to much to bear for me, and is to the point of being physically painful and not merely emotional. I don't see any options for me and doubt my future holds any real promise.

:lol: hey man, you keep talking like that, damn staight thats the ways its gunna be. get out, quit your miserable job, make some freinds, change, hell seems to be the "popular" theme right now anyway. anythings posible man, just gotta put your mind to it, school is a great first start, get you a cheap hobby so you feel like your acomplishing something. depression hurts dude, i went through it for two weeks off of a broken heart, and you know what, the best thing to do was to find some sort of turning point, i ended up putting a fist size hole in my wall before i realized i needed to do something. its gunna be alright, you can do it.

I know what you mean. Well I used to be a pretty heavy drinker until recently I cut back alot and I'm working on quitting all together. Sometimes I think I have it pretty bad but when I think of some other people I know that got laid off from work and are about to get thrown out of their houses, maybe it's not so bad after all. You might not like your job but just be happy your almost done with school and on your way to a decent career. Once that happens, things will turn around in the female department for you. You will have the confidence to go out and meet women who can appreciate a decent honest guy such as yourself. (After all, women don't talk to guys that don't have money and a good job anyways). Sorry if that offends any women that might be reading this, but it's true. Especially women in Florida, they are VERY materialistic.
