  1. Haha! Alot of work! Truck drivers are being outcompeted by poles, latvians, belarussian and other eastern europeans here(Downside of EU). Infact the company I'm working with is probably going to lay off a big number of drivers and go with contractors instead, wich would be loads of fun since I get a headache already when there only are a couple of them each day that has no clue as to what to do, and only knows 5 words in english, "I don't speak english". So there isn't much future there, and I drive what is called a "tug"/"mule", a cross between tractor and lorry (Look at the yard tractor and bodycarrier) so I'm not qualified without a lorry drivers licence (Wich costs about 50000sek, and I'm not legible to loan that at the bank, tried it a couple of days ago, and then you need a "Yrkesförarbevis"/Professional lorrydrivers qualification that costs about 1250sek-3000sek per lesson and you need to complete 140hours of education. ). It's funny seing professional lorry drivers struggle to do what we do all the time, especially the ****y/impatient ones. I've got a 75% employment, meaning I only work 75% of the normal workweek hours (39*0.75=29.25h) but my base wage before taxes is 22100sek(1882$) if I had worked 39 hours per week. So if I were to up my employment to 100% I would basically make the same as a bottom rung lorry driver does, except they can qualify to haul dangerous goods and such aswell, while I can't get a decent raise no matter what I do.
  2. Thanks for asking, it isn't good yet but it's better. I don't lift packages anymore but shunt trailers, and it's much less straining on the back so I'm slowly improving, but I still sleep like ****e. The hospital basically told me to suck it up or change jobs, and that ain't easy here. I'm going to do this for a while longer and then see if I can get some education for something else. I need more money if I'm going to keep the family house and lands when my mother kicks the bucket. I'd hate to be the one that looses a house and lands that has been in the family since before USA was founded. Edit; I also need to get some extra money together to send that beer to Hurlshot like I promised.
  3. ;_; And here I thought you liked me...
  4. Double post ftw. Please delete this if anyone cba.
  5. I love that smell to be honest, that ozone smell... Welcome to my evening entertainment, picking black and gray boogers. The air inside the trailers and cargo containers is that full of dust. Working 11+ hour days for now, now that I'm no longer on sick leave I need to make up for lost time so I'm working 5 hours extra each day. It's the only way to make some decent dough where I work.
  6. Provided you have machineguns pointed at their backs atleast.
  7. Oh yeah, even before the fast and the furious series started! /hipster
  8. Which is a problem when it comes to people being mathematically illiterate, which these companies exploit without hesitation and remorse. Especially when relatively poor people that couldn't afford proper education get caught up in it. Edit; Spelling
  9. A pretty nice beat, doesn't get me to space out like some others, but decent nonetheless.
  10. I must agree with Volourn here I'm sad to say. EVIL.
  11. No, more like Car modification is huge here, and people take it seriously. Doing an engine swap on a standard volvo is almost a rite of passage, though BMW inline 6's are most common, V8 swaps are not rare at all. They usually get a junker and do it in instead. Not quite my style though, I prefer sleeper cars and the V8 rumble is a dead giveaway. I prefer inline 4's with turbos instead, people don't think much about the sound or they look at the huge exhaust and go "Huh, he likes to sound badass".
  12. I don't think I've ever actually seen one of those irl, especially the V8 version. I've seen plenty of Volvos with V8's that was never built with a V8 though
  13. Way too much. My condolences, Tale.
  14. By that time I started developing a crush on Simone Simons, she was winning me over from Tarja Turunen. Though I couldn't help but become slightly infatuated with just about any girl that could sing well.
  15. Ohh, interstate! I loved that game, the only thing that came close was Streets of Sim City
  16. Brain; "Oh, look, it's the nightelf dance" Also, I remember seeing the video way back when, and I thought she was really scantilly clad; Today it barely registers,
  17. Yeah, season 5 haven't really been up to snuff either, I liked Bond vs Austin Powers though. RIP Sagan.
  18. Mr Al is epic, even my mother loved that one! I love their multi features, like this one;
  19. Well, yeah, he was seriously outmatched in that battle
  20. That motor mouth...
  21. To be fair, you'd have to have an interest in science and facts to start with. Or music;
  22. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I've waited for so long, finally!!!
  23. Sorry to hear that Bart. --- Went to the dentist today and pulled a tooth, and dug out a "residual root". When I say dug, I really mean it, there was drilling, there was chisels and I'm pretty certain there were spades. Probably an excavator aswell. Took two hours of work. The anaesthetic is wearing off now, and I'm crying from the pain, ****, ****, ****, **** does it hurt. Not the first tooth I've pulled, but this root residue thing is in a league of it's own. Oh, yeah, and it won't stop bleeding. Oi, Guard Dog, if I pay for the plane ticket, will you come to Sweden and shoot me? I'm serious. I will pay you.
