I appreciate it, but I think I'm all out of optimism on that front now. I tried every avenue for six long weeks, I sowed a lot of seeds, and in the end, I crawled right back into a truck so I wouldn't go bankrupt.

I looked damn good at my last job interview, and I felt like I carried it off well, but here I am.
At the time, I was torn between trucking and taking that job. I thought I was going to get it, and wasn't sure what to do when I did. Now that I've been back at it for a month, I kind of wish I had had to deal with the problem of telling my new boss I'm sorry, but I quit.
Alas.
I think my long-term plans all revolve around getting my expenses down, so I can afford to quit driving. I'd like to go part time, so I just drive when I feel like making a little money, and tell everybody to kiss off when I don't.
Here's hoping I can get to that place, because I don't seem to have any better alternatives. I really don't have any other marketable skills. Skills, sure, but there's no damn market for what I can do, and neither am I interested in the stuff they pay people to do. Web development, web administration, XML, blah blah blah blah blah, where are the keys to my Kenworth again?
I guess it's a self-defeating attitude, or else on some level I'm just addicted to working my ass off for free.
