First I would like to add a tidbit about last Monday's driving test. I wasn't driving so was able to look around a bit more than everyone else. Even though, I was extremely surprised to see a car that looked a lot like KITT from Knight Rider. From the thirty second glimpse I had of it, the exterior was a dead ringer for KITT. Even though the sides were off the t-top, I didn't really look at the interior since the red light going back and forth on the front of the car really drew my attention.
Now more about Friday, we only had to stay half a day to wrap up final paperwork involved in signing on with the company. Out of a starting class of seventeen people, fifteen made it all the way through. It will be interesting to find out how many finish the entire training period. We all found out where and when we were meeting our trainers, fortunately I will be able to meet mine in Perrysburg, OH (the Toledo terminal).
The ride home was uneventful; I gave another driver a ride back to the area to save him from the horror that is Greyhound. I don't know how many people actually ride a Greyhound by choice, but it is a fairly horrible experience. It isn't fast by any means, and it can take up to three times as long riding as it does to drive because of all the stops between where you left from and your destination.
At this point I am just waiting for my trainer's truck to get down here. Apparently the shop wasn't done with it so he is waiting in Romulus to get it done, and I am waiting here in Perrysburg for him to get here. This isn't a very good sounding start to our week, but it can happen. Sometimes shop work, breakdowns, and other maintenance concerns can suck up a lot of time out of a driver's day. Hopefully this is the only time for the next several weeks that I will have to deal with it.
A last note, the spell check wasn't working at the time of this post, so I apologize for any and all misspellings contain here in.
