Last week, I had some business to take care of in Vegas. No, not due to a gambling addition. It was a wedding dress addiction. In addition to my pre-planned trip, my company needed somebody to drive all of our merchandise down. Since I already had to be there, I figured I would save some miles on my car, and I accepted the offer. The truck needed to arrive at the Venetian at 8:00 am sharp on Tues. in order to be unloaded. Because I had some other responsibilties to take care of first, I was not able to leave town until 1:00 am Tues morning. Bad idea I know. Well as luck would have it, a mighty storm blew in that night, and winds were estimated to have reached 90 mph (give or take 75 mph). I found myself stuck between a rock and a bigger rock. Should I stay or should I go...now? If I stay there will be trouble (I'll be late)... if I go it will be double (I'll most likely tip over into a ditch). So as any dedicated trucker would do... I decided I would rather die in a ditch then have my delivery be late. So I put on my trucker hat, gathered my favorite cassette tapes, kissed the wife and boy goodbye, and hit the road. After many gusts of wind causing unexpected lane changes, a few drag races with semi-trucks, and incredibly loud music, my shipment of goods was delivered on time. I was one proud trucker.
Although I did not die in a ditch, and my delivery did make it on time... I still decided that... yo ho yo ho a trucker's life is not for me... Arrr. booty booty booty.
