To clarify and expound on my recent status update.
I was just medically discharged from my job.
I seem to have a problem keeping my blood sugar level up.
Yesterday, with a simple test, they were able to see that my "monthly blood sugar average" is 2.
2 what? I don't know.
But that's low. Really low.
Today I was informed that I can't drive a big truck (Oh, I'm a trucker. Or at least I was) with this blood sugar problem.
And so they let me go.
I'll be seeing a Doctor tomorrow to figure out what's up with my blood.
Random thoughts about random stuph. Feel free to think of this blog as a continuation of my book STUPH.

Best Buy Mobile on webOS
So I found this "Best Buy Mobile Guide to Mobile Phone Apps" pamphlet at my dad's house.
And, naturally, I flipped through until I found webOS.
I found the page labeled "Operating Sytem Overview: Which OS is right for you?"
I skimmed past RIM, Android, Windows Mobile, and found webOS (right above Symbian).
This is what Best Buy has to say:
webOS is comparable to the Linx OS for computers. It is belovved by many Palm users, who appreciate its synergy with multiple information sources, over-the-air updates and its touchscreen-specific graphic interface.
Ah, "beloved by many Palm users". Yes, webOS is certainly beloved.
A very powerful fan base. So powerful, in fact, that we're a feature of the OS.

I'm a size 0
On the last day of trucking school, we all got company T-shirts.
They went around the room and asked everyone for their shirt size.
3
2
4, no 5
1
Everyone tossed out a number of X's.
XXL, XL, …
The instructor didn't miss a beat calling out names and marking responses.
Until he got to me.
Large, I said.
He paused.
He looked up at me.
He seemed confused.
And eventually marked his paper and moved on.
I was the only Large in the room.
No X's.
I wear a size 0.

More on Trucking
Yesterday, I graduated from trucking school with a 96!
Woo!
So, now what?
Now that I have my CDL and am done with school, I need to get some on-the-job training.
Today is my first day as an employee (not student) of Stevens Transport.
As early as today, I will be assigned to a trainer and their truck.
Then for (at least) 35 days, I will be traveling all over the US and maybe even Canada learning the ways of the road warrior.
((Bring on the foursquare mayorships! ;-) ))
After that, I'll come back to Dallas for a few days. ((Ah, paperwork…))
I don't know what day I leave, or who I'll be stuck with.
I just hope my developer phone arrives before I ship out.
Woo!
