My Worst Day in a Long Time.

So where do I begin? Well lets start off with me accidentally washing my CDL Permit. So this morning at 8am I had to go to the DMV and get a new copy. I was supposed to be at the lot by 7am, but they were gonna put me last if I was late. Well I got there at about 8:30 and everyone was just sitting around doing nothing. Come to find out, there was something missing on the truck and they didnt want to come test us. So after a few phone conversations with our instructor and the office, the DMV said they would come out. However the tester was in Springfield and was supposed to be on his way. Well 11 oclock rolls around and nobody. 12 oclock rolls around and nothing. Its hot, we are hungry and still no one. Finally at about a quarter to one he rolls in and parks in the lot opposite of us and just sits there. Hes on fucking lunch! ! ! Well finally at about 1 oclock he rolls up. Its 90, we are still hot and hungry (Oh and pissed too! ! !). The test begins with a pretrip inspection of the truck. I get the honor of going first. I do pretty well on that part. He still asked me a few questions that I swear we didnt cover in class, but he passed me. Everyone passed the pretrip inspection but Bobby. He didnt even make it out of the first part of the inspection in the cab (ouch)! ! !

Next is the course test. There are 4 things we have to do on the course. Make a right turn without hitting a cone, a front stop (pull up to a line and stop), a straight back up through 3 sets of cones. And an angle back park (where you pull up at a 45 degree angle and then back in.) My first time through the course I miss my front stop by a good foot. Damn it! ! ! My second time through I pass that, but miss the angle back by 6 inches! ! ! How fucked up is that! ? ! ? So now I have to retake my test in a few days. Lifes a bitch and everyone losses! ! ! More in a few days after the shock is over.
