Tomorrow is graduation. Yesterday I went to DMV and picked up a new copy of my driver history (I wanted one that reflects my commercial license with all endorsements (except passenger <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />).

Today, I went to visit the recruiter for Gordon Trucking and handed him a copy of the printout. He sat me down and asked me some personal questions (marital status, children, etc.). Then he offered me a run where I will get home weekly and have a good chance of being routed through home for my daily off-time sometimes. I didn't know those runs were available to newbies! My orientation should happen in the next couple weeks!

In related news, one of the local utilities has some interesting openings. First is for a journeyman mechanic, which I am well qualified for. The other is for an apprentice electronics tech (I'm probably overqualified, but that's ok). I applied for both and have been asked to appear for testing for both.

I really don't want to be a professional mechanic again. And with the Gordon position being offered, I won't take that spot unless something terrible happens. The electronics tech position, on the other hand, would be KILLER!!! The pay is phenomenal, as well. That's the only job that has any possibility of keeping me out of trucking.
