I hate taking long breaks from blogging only to come back and write an entire blog begging for forgiveness.

So I won't.

Since I've last blogged, I've started a new job. I work for Domestic Uniform Rental. It's not exactly the most prestigious job in the world, but I'm hoping my lack of shame in earning more money and being more responsible makes up for that lack of prestige.

My job consists of delivering uniforms, towels, rugs, and other linen-associated things. And, yes, picking up the dirty ones to be brought to our plant for cleaning. So now you see the entire cycle. A majority of my time is spent driving an obnoxiously large truck. I'm used to driving a 98 Dodge Neon, which is about as big as a large dog. Then I get in this huge truck and have to meander the streets of Center City with inches of room on either side. A bit unnerving to say the least. The mooney is good, and it's only going to get better. I'm working 3 hours earlier than I'm used to, but leaving about 3 hours earlier as well. That, in itself, is worth the job change. Especially now that it's warm out, because I get to do nice stuff outside with my pretty girlfriend.

I work with a LOT of cool guys. Not a bad one in the bunch. It's obvious that they dread the work they have ahead of them, but look forward to getting together at the end of the day to shoot the shit. Some guys stay an hour or two after they're done. I haven't really opened up to all of them yet, so I typically leave as soon as the opportunity presents itself. But I can see myself being friendly with these guys. I actually find it harder to AVOID that.

Well, I'm on the road now and that should also pretty much explain my absence from blogging.

Apologies.
