What a long strange trip its been.
Oh..where to start...
My commercial license ......gone.
My non commercial license.....was gone.
i finally got it back after 2 years.
Now...think for a minute...how in the hell is one supposed to survive if you cant legally drive to and from work? By selling drugs? Selling your body? Selling someone else's body ? How about stealing, robbing, anything to make a damned buck?
I certainly learned a lot in the 3 months that I sat home on my ass.
I learned that this system is designed to keep you down when you fall.
Workmans comp....denied. Unemployment, what a damned joke that is. Finding a job without a drivers license, full of anger, depressed and pissed off....yeah right. But most importantly, I learned to never, ever be truthful when it comes to any government run office.. especially the DMV. I'll look them in the eye and lie right to their face from now on. Being honest with those a holes only ended up turning a once honest man into a criminal. The horse crap the DMV put me thru changed my entire outlook on the law, on society and on life. Its a real long story and the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'll save it for another time.
It's nothing short of a miracle that I was able to hold on to the house and keep the wife. Why she has tolerated me, put up with me and stuck right here by my side....I'll never know. Take away a workaholics ability to work , what do you expect? Yeah, with my pissed off attitude....it was that bad.
Anyways, I'm still alive and kicking. Work now is just that....work. it's not fun like it used to be. It's a job...and only a job. Now don't get me wrong. I'm thankful for this job, for the little that I have, for the roof over our heads. But mostly, I'm thankful for my wife. If not for her, I'd likely be 6 ft. under.
Well folks... thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
I'll post more of this drama soon.
