Hey Y'all! Welcome to any newcomers. Matt, I see you're feeling a little better. Finally made it back home. I've never felt so disconnected from everything in my life. I could just beat the juice out of buttheads who make things harder for the rest of us who are following the rules. I doubt if I'll ever catch up.
With that being said, let me stop complaining. I'm home. I made it safe. I'm alive. Yep, I have lots to be thankful for.
I say that because the end of this work hitch was really difficult for me. Before I got this job that I have now, I used to drive nights delivering parts for the helicopters. Tuesday afternoon, I got a HUGE shock. I'm still friends with all the drivers that I used to work with. Shucks, I see them every week since they deliver parts to my base. Tuesday afternoon, I got a phone call that one of the drivers had been killed in an accident while returning home from Galveston. She was the sweetest lady ever. She never had a bad word to say about anybody.
Some jerk was driving in the total opposite lane over this huge bridge that spans the Houston ship channel. I know the area well. I've driven it hundreds of times. You can't see diddly until you get to the top of the bridge. She gets to the top of the bridge, and there he is. She tried to avoid, but it was a head on collision. BAM, she's gone. I had a major melt down over it Tuesay night. I worked with this woman. She was a doll.
Sorry y'all. I'm not trying to be a downer. Just hurt, frustrated, mad and sad.
