I hate it when someone takes out a full trash bag and doesn't put a new trash bag in there. Even worse when other people still put trash in the can even when there's no bag... This used to drive me nuts. It's so easy to just put a bag in! Now I'm the only one taking the trash out.

Sacramento... I've only been through there once while I was a truck driver. The Pilot truck stop made me so mad, they wanted $30 to park for 30 minutes. It's not really unusual for California truck stops to charge for parking, but come on! 30 minutes! So sorry that person acted in such an awful...

Gotcha. I've never heard of the white flag thing or any standard way of communicating to drivers that you've got something going on that they need to move over for. I had a blowout on a steer tire once, and everyone sort of, ya know, moved.

Huh? I thought we were talking about signalling to a semi that there's enough room to change lanes. I don't see anything up thread about an emergency. When another tractor trailer's passing another, it's common for the driver being passed to flash brights.

During the day, you can do high beams on and off. During night, you can flick them off and then on again. Did you know that even most semi drivers nowadays can't drive manual? There's CDLs with auto-only restrictions. Most fleets are moving to fully auto semis. My last truck was an auto, and...

Well, when the homestead can pay the mortgage, I won't have to deal with it anymore. However, doesn't make the now suck any less.

Computer science. It's something I have a passing interest in. But, man, I may switch to electrical engineering if this guy wants me to do 4-5 group projects a semester.

Yeah, it gets more tempting every day. But I'm gonna be too old to do it some day, and I want a piece of paper that says I get to work in an office (diploma) for when that happens.

I already know the real world. I was a truck driver. When I did extra work, I got extra pay. Maybe that's my solution. "OK you guys can slack and get an A grade off my work, but you're gonna pay me to do it."

I hate group projects so much... I really don't understand it. I always feel like I get saddled with 95% of the work. So surely I deserve 95% of the grade? And of course for my degree plan, the main professor who teaches the classes relies heavily on them. It really drives me up the wall.
