Not necessarily, I'm a truck driver and have been for 25 years. I make a good living and rarely have to deal with other humans, and I have a very good safety record.

if I had better depth perception and multitasking ability, I might've ended up a professional big rig driver as well.

no need to be sorry as no harm was done :flower: I was just expressing my horror at my back pages, my employer paid for it and did not fire me for reasons I can only attribute to their feeling sorry for underpaying me.
