A couple of days ago I got a call from my company's placement people. They had an opening for a local-only driver near my home, and wanted to know if I was interested. The upside of such a posting is that I'd be home almost every single night rather than once every three weeks or so. Since I was a little busy at the time, I told them that I was enjoying the whole traveling across the country thing, and it was what I got into trucking for in the first place. I respectfully declined.
Now I'm looking back, and I have to wonder if perhaps I had gone temporarily insane(er) during that phone call. Driving cross-country is nice, but so is living in a house with family and friends nearby X_x
WTF me, that was probably a once-in-a-lifetime posting and you blew it off.
Any chance if you call them back it'll still be open?
Maybe. Problem is that I'm not entirely sure I want the posting yet. If I had been working for a year first, or hell even a few months, maybe it would be different. But this was so very sudden and there's so much of the county I haven't seen yet. I guess I just feel cheated because while I'm sure that I will jump at the chance eventually, I can't jump at it
now and I fear that the chance might never come up again.
