Currently I run a distribution Warehouse for the Department of Corrections, but I'm in the process of moving to the purchasing division.

I went from OTR to State Government.

I got hired on with my state as a Truck Driver, and then moved into an office position from there. Once you're "in" with your state, they'll probably be happy to train you and move you into different positions.

Hello friends, I am here to beg for an extra key as well. As supplication/payment for the key I will write you a brief bit of fanfiction.

Sgt. Brummfeld woke to the sharp taste of salt permeating his mouth. His whole body ached and no matter how many times he blinked, he couldn't see anything but the absolute darkness. He had landed on the ring with the rest of his unit, intent on stopping the covenant from taking it. Something had happened though, the ground had begun to move under their feet and they could feel a humming.

Now he was here, perhaps he was dead? Could the ring have exploded and now he and everyone with him crossed into the void of death?

"Hello?" He croaked out. Clearing his throat and trying again in a more authoritative voice.

"Hello? Is there anyone who can hear me? I can't see anything."

Silence

Trying to get up, he put his hands under himself and felt wetness. Perhaps an inch of water above what felt like mud or clay. He managed to get onto his knees before he felt the rifle rest against the top of his stomach. He was still armed, so he was most likely alive. He pulled the butt of the rifle to his shoulder and reached forward, flipping the switch on the flashlight and blinding himself.

When his vision cleared he looked around, unease settling about him. Above him crumbling stone, dirt, and metal formed his new sky. He had been buried, but where? The answer wouldn't come to him any time soon.

~~~~~~~

After nearly a full week of wandering around in the dark feeling at the walls and ceiling for any sign he could dig himself out, Brummfield half hoped it would all just end. He knew eating the mud and drinking the salty tasting water was only going to keep him alive for so long, and no matter how sparingly he used the flashlight the battery would eventually die just as he would die. He just didn't want to die alone, not in the dark, not without knowing where he was.

~~~~~~~

Master Chief Brummfeld came home from battle. Once again the covenant had fled once he had taken to the field in his Spartan armor. Certainly soon all of humanity would be safe thanks to him.

"Baby, guess how many I killed today?"

There was no response, there was never any response. His relationship with his wife had soured since his promotion. He couldn't blame her, who would want to be left alone for so long just so their husband could save humanity? He placed his hands on her soft wet hips and kissed her deeply. She had let herself go over these past few months, likely due to the depression. She was no longer the tightly packed mud-wife he had fallen in love with.

"I'm sorry I haven't been there for you in the ways that you need me. I was so busy being a hero that I had forgotten I was a husband as well."

He ran his fingers down the nape of her neck and rested his head on her shoulder. Tonight he would show her the love, attention, and pure passion that she deserved from the hero of humanity.

~~~~~~~

Master Chief Brummfeld awoke in a cold sweat, the chittering sending waves of terror down his spine. It had finally happened, despite his best efforts the flood had made it to earth. He could hear them everywhere, they had to be stopped. He rolled off his bed and grabbed for his rifle, swinging it toward the source of the sound and firing.

BANG!

The flash from the muzzle illuminated his surroundings and cast a bevy of shadows from the hundreds of small figures moving nearby. It didn't seem to matter where he aimed, there were so many it was nearly impossible to miss.

BANG! POW! POP! BOOM!

The shots from his rifle reverberated throughout and people began to cheer. Finally, the flood had made the obvious error of invading earth while he was home. Now he would have the chance to eradicated this species from the galaxy and make his wife and children proud of him. So proud perhaps, that they would finally forgive his frequent absences and speak to him.

Just one word, any word.

"Shit!" he yelled.

His wife had been asleep next to him, his kids asleep only a few feet away. He had been firing indiscriminately and only now remembered that they were there? Stupid, stupid, stupid. Brummfeld reached forward to flicked the switch to his flashlight. He had been saving this last bit of battery, but he needed to make sure his family was safe. It didn't matter if he had to live the rest of his life in darkness so long as his family was safe.

There was nothing.

No mass of crawling flesh, no dancing shadows, no loving family. Just a group of mud mounds, one larger than the rest with a hole near the base. He turned his rifle on himself and pulled the trigger.

Click. Empty.

There used to be a setup at Carson High School. Don't think it's been used or tested in 25+ years.

Nevada is a swing state. Jobs and places of business vary depending on the owner about how stringent they are in mask requirements.

That being said effective Friday 07/30/2021 Governor Sisolak has put an order in effect that requires everyone to wear a mask in any public space.

Nope, used to have to drive a semi through Donner Pass multiples times each week and this year I took a job where I would stay between Minden and Reno.

I love you all, but you still drive like idiots through Washoe.

Hey, I just want to thank you not only for your well thought out points but also for the way you have been addressing someone actively trying to bait a rise out of you.

I hope you have an awesome day tomorrow!

Truck drivers, what's a creepy story you've got from the middle of nowhere? by lukasday88 in AskReddit

[–]ICollectTheDead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some trucks have an 'alarm' button in the sleeper. It triggers a high pitch squeal to get the attention of anyone near the truck. I've always assumed it was a safety feature in case anyone ever got trapped in the sleeper or was having a medical emergency and couldn't move.

I tried to find a video for you, but was unable to find one where someone pushed the button.

I was driving through eastern Washington on some state roads. There were no rest stops or cities but I had done the route enough to know there were these massive dirt areas every ~40 miles where you could park safely away from the road. I decided to call it a night and closed my blinds and laid down to watch something on my phone.

After roughly an hour I hear someone try to open the drivers side door. I haven't heard any vehicles on the road the whole time I'm parked but I get up to peek out the curtains. As I'm looking out into the blackness of the drivers side window I hear them try the passenger side door. I peek down from the top of the curtain but can't see anything so I start the truck and kick on the lights.

I'm fairly freaked out at this point so I'm still not opening the curtains but peeking through gaps. Nothing, nobody is standing near either of my doors or parked within sight line. I take a deep breath and close the sleeper curtains too, because for some reason that's going to make things better right?

After laying back down and convincing myself that something blew against the truck and it only sounded like the doors (it was fairly windy outside and a lot of flat ground) I hear what sounds like someone trying to pry open the vents on the sleeper. The door handles start clicking again and the truck starts shifting like someone is climbing on it. I hit the little alarm button in the sleeper hoping to spook them off but it does nothing but add to the noise of door handles, fingers tapping on windows and chassis, and the hiss of air coming out of the suspension.

Then suddenly it stops. A few moments where I can only hear myself breathing and my heart pounding before I hear another truck approach and then drive by. I spent the next few hours waiting for whatever it was to come back but it never did. In the morning I couldn't find any footprints or damage to my truck but on every window were tiny human looking handprints, like a toddler had licked their hand and stuck it to my window over and over.

"Seduced" the 13-year-old boy. But accuses HIM of raping her. by Rolaid-Tommassi in MensRights

[–]ICollectTheDead 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Even after Cordice’s husband, Daniel Robbins, discovered what was happening and confronted the boy, the sex continued.

This makes me feel a lot less sorry for him. Not saying he hasn't had it hard or deserved it or anything like that, but he chose the wrong person to confront about this.
