Oh no, not again.

Well the truck is in the shop again. I'm on a waiting list for a new one, a manual one, one that runs for more than a week at a time.

I'm getting tired of hotels. I'm getting tired of getting robbed of miles because my equipment keeps failing. I'm tired of crummy paychecks.

I am thankful that I am at least making a little bit of money, though. So don't think I'm ungrateful for what I do have. It's just frustrating and breakdown pay doesn't pay the bills.

Good thing is that when they get the truck running again I'll be heading home. And then once I'm home I get to see the loved ones I leave behind every time I come out on the road. And I get to eat some yummy food because my boyfriends family is having an early Thanksgiving dinner for us! Yay. YUM!

Perhaps after my time off, I'll get routed to my home terminal to get a new truck. Hopeful? Yes, but after all I've been through hope is what gets me through each new trial with this truck.

In the meantime, I'll be hanging out in a hotel... again.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Don't Panic

It's just a facelift. I was tired of the orange and green swirly background. I'm not sure I like this one but it's gonna have to do until I find something more suitable. Sorry.
