Long story short since I'm typing on my blackberry; I was offered the opportunity to, with 5 other students, drive rental cars from Allentown, Pa, to Springfield, Oh, where supposedly it's easier to get trainers. Well we drove the 500 miles on Friday afternoon, arrived @ 10pm, and promptly found out from our Cracker Barrel waitress that the hotel Werner puts drivers up in is the HOME for all the local hookers and their pimps....and she was most certainly not exaggerating.
It is now Sunday evening, and ONE of the 6 of us is gone. He was picked up Saturday afternoon, less than 24 hours after we got here. I've spent the day watching The Matrix Trilogy mindfuck, and walking around this dirty, grey, blah city. We're all hoping tomorrow is gonna be the day we get lucky enough to hit the road. Somehow I doubt its gonna happen, looking at how hard it is to get your Driver Manager on the phone to get answers....
I know this is just part of what happens, but somehow what I was told and/or led to believe leading up to this point doesn't quite match up with reality.
Well this was more than I had expected to thumb out, and now my hands are cramping....I did find Krispy Kremes at the Kroger up the street though -- trying for the positive note there.
Uh, you don't suppose that "they're" should maybe have been "their" now do you? Just sayin', to the King of the there-their-they're thing.
