Hang in there, and get that BP under control - it's a big deal in this business.
Brett used to say the whole industry ran on caffeine and blood pressure medicine, or something like that.
Item number once getting home is getting into a doctor about that bp. I have no plan on ending this new career before I begin.
Also planning on getting to exercising again and losing some weight.

Made it through week one easy with the evaluation. Almost didn't get that far as my bp almost disqualified me, only have three months to get that under control.
With the school, I got a two year but they might do that for most everybody just to get them started.
Anyways, heading out on Monday about noon from the Atlanta OC with my training engineer. Once returning, we start or final week before getting our trucks.
We started with 22, lost three that first day and are now done to ten.
