Another driving opportunity has presented itself, one which will require me to visit DMV tomorrow. And spend $39. But if all is successful, I might not have to do the full-on over-the-road stints.

Strange and wonderful things won't happen unless you give them the chance...

*poof*

I've just been informed that I will be starting a new job in August. Well, that's almost correct...I'll be attending new-hire orientation, 10 days of required (and unpaid) training, and then three weeks or so of supervised (but paid) work before I'm considered fully qualified ( Read more... )
