    And, on an unrelated note, I'll still be in the shelter for xmas, but I should be celebrating new year's in oklahoma if things go as we plan. So here's hoping they don't decide to throw me out before then for some fabricated rule violation.

        @pony Not entirely, but I'm hoping to jump off that bridge when I come to it.

                @pony At least until I get to said bridge, then we'll see.

                    @pony Scowl all you want, it wont alter the fact that I'm still not entirely home and dry yet, there's still a lot that can go wrong.

                  @colfax Why couldn't you be a train jumping hobo and live off the land, skipping gayly across the nation?

                      @colfax So can you still become a trucker or do those require no restraining orders?

                        @pony That may have to wait a while, till I can build up some savings at least.

                          @colfax right for the licensing or something that you mentioned.

                            @pony Among other things, yeah.

                          @colfax You mentioned a number before. How much does it cost to get a job as a trucker? Is it a guarantee? Would it really be worth it to you? And once you're in OK won't it be possible to get better work?

                            @pony It would cost $125 for a class A CDL permit in NJ, but since I'm moving it'll have to wait till I get there and do some research, I'll need a medical certificate too and I have no idea what that costs. And yeah, I'll probably be washing dishes for a while, but it's a start if nothing else.

                              @colfax right makes sense. I look forward to that for you and the gradual upward spiral I hope you'll experience.
