Happy Dancing!

I did it!

I passed my CDL written (92%), my air brakes (98%) and my combination vehicles (95%). The other women in the class have dropped. The office staff--all women--are cheering me on. I think they want to see the middle-aged librarian kick the twenty-something cowboys' butts.

My teacher was even impressed. "You're good."

I'm running a study group on Saturday after class for the guys who didn't get it. most of them missed it by one or two questions.

Swings Angel around... would dip her, but there are proportion issues at play here and gravity doesn't care how happy you are. :)

We start doing pre-trip inspections tomorrow. Looks like I get to actually drive Monday.

(*Gives Angel a twirl as well*) I am truly very happy for you. And you poo-poo'ed that you didn't have any skills after losing that last job. Who would have guessed? (*Grin*) Never know until you try. A quote from our mutual friend, Han Solo, however: "That's great kid! Don't get cocky..."

The point is, I had no skills.

So I went to school to acquire a few.

Preflight tomorrow.

Well... Apparently there is "skill" & then there is "natural aptitude." (*grin*)
