    I was not CDL driving but I hauled New York Times from the print site on one side of Ohio to a distribution hub on the other side. I spent a lot of hours on the road 6 days a week. You aren’t kidding about trying to find a restroom at night and all the hassles from construction, other drivers, detours, ect. If it weren’t for highway rest areas and truck stops, there would be basically nothing for drivers at night.

    I always had an overnight bag with me, but thankfully never had to use it. Nothing but respect for drivers, the nation runs on their backs, we really should be taking better care of them.

    I’m glad to see others still have the fight in them. I’m in my 40’s, burnt out, no wife or kids to fight for, and my parents are in their late 70’s. I spent a lot of my life fighting to make things better and it’s only gotten worse faster, I’m tired, I’m burnt out, and I just don’t care anymore, I just want to pass the torch to someone who still cares and then live a quiet life.

    At this point, they can have it. They just have to figure out how to upload my consciousness to a computer, load that computer into a von Neumann probe, and fire me off into space. Yes I like the Bobivers series. I’d kick back a few rocks to mine on my way out to pay my way, then take off and start exploring.

    In the realm of possibility just give me $10 million so I can invest it and live off the dividends. I’ll build a nice three bedroom house and keep to myself and just work on things that actually interest me instead of working to survive. They can have their hellscape utopia, I just want to be left alone.




  • Yep, separate machines is the way.

    My employer provides all of us with laptops for remote work, and management with cell phones. Some of these people (managers included) use the laptop as their sole computer for everything, and most of management takes advantage of the fact that if you port your phone number to the company phone you can switch between profiles and have the company pay the phone bill.

    I look at these people and just marvel at their stupidity. My work laptop is on a segregated network and shut down when not in use. And if it goes like it looks like it’s going, when I get a manager cell phone, I’ll be keeping my personal phone separate. Keep’em separate always.
