I have seen it happen where I work too. We have a large party. 800+ employees including their guests. The only place within 50 miles that can accommodate all of us is a place we call the "racino" it is a large casino/raceway. (horses). Of course you know the problems that can cause. We almost didn't have it last year. Now the "protesters" can have a small bonus instead, but if they come to the party too they are docked. ( yes!! This actually happened!!!!!) Some people should just stay under the rock from whence they come.

for thunderbear and thumper:

you both seem like a great catch!!!!

too bad you all live so far away...

hey bear, venting here is the best thing you could do. so no need to say sorry.

I have a different point of view.

I have been in both positions. wife and driver.

I have seen my best friend's marriage fall apart just like yours.

I tried to make her understand that her husband was "at work", not driving around the country cheating. I tried to help her with the lonliness she felt every day. I tried to help her deal with the "everything" she had to do. She had to do all the Dad things as well as all the Mom things.

I was an OTR driver for 10 yrs. Now I drive truck local on weekends and drive school bus during the week.

I also was the one left behind. The lonliness of being home and being on the road are similar. There's a feeling of helplessness. There's the feeling of being disconnected from the one you love.

From both points of view... it's the hardest job in the world...

BUT.....

Driving has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I was such a baby when I started. Driving made me stand up and live life instead of just coasting through it. It grew me up real quick. When you are out there you can't get mad at your boss and quit 2000 miles from home. You have to deal wih it.

Everyone is right. You are right. DON'T CHANGE. you found what you love to do for a living.... How many people can say they love their jobs??
