So finished shcool .....I then waited two weeks before skills test at the DMV.

I went yesterday and failed....πŸ˜’ this truck had a very light clutch....I took off fine then got started and then I couldn't find the sweet spot. After fighting with it. The DMV tester asked if something was wrong with the truck? I said well I just found the sweet spot. It's like it needs no clutch.....Moshe told me the other testers before me that the others before me had the same thing happening to them.......now that really makes me feel better 😳. They all failed. So after fighting with it. And going back to the DMV I knew I wasn't passing from the Time I could find the sweet spot! And I know a truck is a truck is a truck.....but of you have had not me in that truck then how are you to know where the sweet spot is??? So should I just pay to rent an automatic so I don't have to stress about not knowing the truck. So I can just get though this skills test!

😱 They called! I go Oct 23 @ 9:45 for my CDL A test.

So I had a tooth under a bridge that was killing me for e last week of school. So last Thursday was my last day ......I made a lot of screw ups ....but recovered when I focused .😏 so on Friday I just sat around the house hoping my tooth would stop hurting. Haha no luck. By Saturday night I was ......just take it out ! I don't care if I'm toothless ! So Sunday was a killer to. On Monday morning I was calling around to see who could take me in and pull it. Lol most everyone was ....well we can get you in around the 23 or later....hello people I will be dead by then! 😠 so anyway found a place to do it for me. They exrayed it. Ouch is was bad. I said please please just pull it. So the women said that will be the dentis call. Well we will see about that! He came in and looked at it and said " it's got to come out!" Then the tears came down my face sir I have be in pain for over a week now......please just pull it! I don't care to hear what you can do ......he smiled and said I will need to cut the bridge. I'm down for it sir.Let get this show started please........ So they started to num me up. I went to my happy place in my head. Lol we have one right???? Well I do. I just block everything around me out! He work on me for 25 minutes or so. And his assistance asked me" are you alright? I mumble yea and stayed in my happy place. He got the tooth out finally and ask the his helper if she seen the abscess ? She said is that it? Yes he said and it runs away to other tooth.then he ask if she wanted to watch? And she said yes. (Lol trying to stay in my happy place people!) so then she said. Oh my that was the best on yet! Never seen so much puss......om please don't swallow miss..... Ok now I'm thinking I may gag.....and I do. Wait they said.so they sucked everything. Not that it helped with the picture in my head now of my mouth. Then she said please keep your eyes closed so I can clean you up. She sucked if of face ......omg I'm thinking..... So then he flushed it out. And said I had a bad infection and he was going to load me up with antabtic and a wash for my mouth. Lol I got up and was let me pay and get the hell out. Haha I wasn't feeling the pain no moreπŸ˜ƒ. Anyway the school call yesterday to tell me my time for the test. Let just say I'm glad it will be the 23 rd. Maybe by then this hole in my head will be closed up and I will feel like a million bucks. I need this so I can get a good paying job and get dental and insurance. πŸ˜˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I would love to work where I could everything and anything πŸ˜ƒ dream job I'm sure for most. Anyway if I have to pick......I was told to go with tankers .....that where the money is. But my guts tells me ..... You should learn to drive them all..... Then I would have more open doors. Must I really just pick one and stick with it. Or is there others out there that feel like I do.

Rain Gear

I'm going to say from my experience of rain. Always rain or shine I am wearing slip and oil resistant,water proof,and good tread on soul of boot! Metal is slick! Hurts when you slipπŸ˜” I was down a week once......black and blue down one side of butt and hip and leg......and had to get a Titus shot. And is was a sunny day. Metal sweats. Anyway when it rains you want others to see you. So the loudest brightest color and with hood on it helps others to see you ! Safety1st! You are going to get wet! Now I just picked me up some rubber steel toe boots. For when I find my new job. Can't say I will trust them. I may wear them if I know I will wade in mud. Not sure on the slip and slide factor of those yet! Really don't like to play that game.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ going shopping with me for my boots is a pain. I want so much and they never have my size.πŸ˜” 5-51/2 in men's or 7 1/2 for women's . And they short change the women boots. Not enough thread on the soul and oil and slip resistant and water proof and steel toe. Is a lot to ask in my size. Which is sad cause I choice safety over pretty any day ! Just venting .....that is what I have been told at the boot store. There is a steel toe and they are pretty. That's the way women's work books comes. Really ...... it's under the pants leg you want see it. And I should have all the same thing that a men's work book offers for safety.😠

I'm finished with my schooling 😏

Thanks TxGent, I will take three deep breaths and relax. Then talk to myself in my head. No curbs, maintaine lane,signal and signal early don't turn it off till my trailer is in the lane. Can't touch those lines. I have been telling myself you can hug but don't kiss on my turns. And for me watching out my mirrors ...... I wear sunglasses and always have. Now I'm trying to do a turtle stretch so my tester will know. Mybe I should not wear them during the test. I'm not sure if I could stand the light lol. My eyes will water .......humm. Thanks for the info. Y'all have a great day.

Thanks 😘 Old School. Makes me feel better that it's ok to grind 4 the and 5th..... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ why I grind them....I have no ideal. But I will hold myself high like I know what I'm doing and maintaine my lane as I grind. Everything else is a tight close shift. But those are way out there. Funny thing is they are 9th and 10th as well and I don't grind them which is in the same spot! Lol ......thanks for the infoπŸ‘Š
