Tobin: I am a fat guy and I have an 18.5 inch neck...

[Gina]

I'm concerned for two reasons.  Would someone who's been nuts before really be competent to drive some monster-sized vehicle weighing several tons?  One has to be careful, because he might have a recrudescence of his fits.  And also, he's probably on pharmaceuticals to "stabilize" his sanity.  Pharmaceuticals tend to have unanticipated side-effects.

And okay, so he just got his degree in business administration, and kudos to him for that.  But would someone who's been nuts before really be competent, for example, to manage, to supervise, other people?  He might go nuts again and make decisions that screw up other people's jobs.....and lives.

We've all worked under managers and supervisors with mental problems; it never ends well.

I honestly don't think the Tobin primitive should fill either sort of position.  Since he lives in Indiana, I'd suggest some sort of assembly-line or agricultural work.  He might think himself "above" or "too good for" assembly-line work, but hey, it's union wages and union benefits.  It's not a bad life if one accepts one's limitations.

If he can't own a gun legally then why in the hell can he have a huge truck that can take out more people than  gun?

Good question, madam.  Trucks can be pretty dangerous.

We do appear to want to spend more time together than many couples do, and we are all about the happiness. I suppose I wasn't frivolous enough in my OP to show that it's a joke between us. I confused Peggy, too.
 
My bones ache from 18 years of trucking. I've been hanging around the house for the past five days because my physical certification is up in the air, and it's been nice just to be able to do what I like. I'm in the middle of a career change. I just graduated from college and I'm looking for a good job- something that I want to do that won't put me in a wheel chair or an early grave. That makes both us very happy

We are a will not carry hazmat organization.
My assumption was that as such, no hazmat training would be required.
WRONG !
Quarterly, annual (and painful) training is mandated.
