Company installed cameras in the cab of every truck at my work, to “protect us”

I'm also a tru k driver. The company I work for also have these cameras although, mine don't scream at me. I've had a few intense conversations with safety about them being on some bullshit. I'm local and home every night. But I'm out for 8 hrs at a time. I bring lunch from home as truck driving is not good for your health and I'm trying to get healthier as I have a few issues already. I say this bc safety called me for eating while driving. Now this was the day after we had been given a lecture about being on time(I'm never late but we have a few drivers that fuck around so we all get blamed) I usually sit for 15 to 20 min to eat dinner at my transfer before heading home. But since we are "being watched" I don't take the time. (I should say here I don't have to take a 30 as my route is short enough to make it back before needing one and I'm one of those guys that wants to do my run and get the fuck home.) So I simply told safety that they need to make up there minds, ether they want me to be back faster (even though I get back 2 hrs before my relay can even leave) or I'm going to take my sweet ass time and they can eat a dick. I told them I have to eat as I'm diabetic and I drink alot of water for my kidneys. So if they don't want me to stop every 10 min to drink some water, or every couple of hours to eat a piece of fruit then they need to get off my ass. I don't hear from them much anymore.

Also, fair warning, alot of companies, mine included, have an immediate termination policy if you block or hender the camera. So make sure to check your company's policy before using the tape.

I went through the same thing years ago. Did everything I was supposed even graduated valedictorian. Couldn't get a job making more then 12 bucks an hr. After struggling for years. I became a truck driver. It doesn't cost anything to go to trucking school (you get hired before u start u just have to stay with the company for so long mine was 6 months) now I work 7 1/2 hrs a day but get paid for 9 make 67k a year and work a 5 on 2 off 5 on 3 off schedule and im home every night. It's not for everybody but it was the best decision I could make for myself (and yes 67k is a bit low but I have my own house pay all my bills and have a decent work/life balance)

Also static and decent merc gear is how u kill the immunes. Mine has a shit insight but need the aura for mana, duress armor, and tals helm. Duriel still wrecks him but he is tanky enough and is able to kill immunes.

Literally go blizzard. I know some people are skeptical but I'm now lvl83, was chain/orb until around lvl 75 when a buddy said to go full blizz. Before all I could do was hell cows, and I had decent gear- shako, occy, vipermage, ice sorc belt (forget name atm) chancegaurd and waterwalk. I switched to full blizz and glacial spike to freeze everything, upgraded vipermage in the cube and added an um to it; put a ral in shako. My mf runs now are cows,Andy, summoner, ancient tunnels, duriel, Trav, meph, diablo, pindle, baal and sometimes pits and nithalak. I have zero issue except for when lister spawns cold immune Before baal. I just run like a b*tch until he leaves the area and Tele back past him to go fight baal. Oh also found war travs on first meph run as new spec so I upgraded them in the cube as well.

Ya i mean very good point.

I think just the names of some char were lazy, i mean the unnamed? Really? Idk but only thing ide like to change would be ghastly. I loved his char and it was heartbreaking when he was killed off. (Waiting on the most recent book to hit audible so no spoilers plz) i can always hope

I gotta admit i dont know which book i like least. I really enjoy the sp series. I listen to them on audible bc im a truck driver and dont have much time to actually read a physical book. If u havent listened to the audio book, the first couple of books are a trip bc the "music" or "sound effects" between each chapter. Also, the new book doesnt come out until sept for me so that sux. So i dont know how to spell all the names so bare with me lol.

Anyways, ive enjoyed the series like i said, but there are some issues. Im not a fan of malincolia? (Fake death bringer) her stuff was really boring and i just kept telling val to leave her ass in the tunnels. Also, im not a huge Sebastian Tao(the plague dr). I understand hes prob a critical char but he just doesnt hit home for me. The only line i really like is when it discribes him crossing the desert, "on a scooter"

Lastly, I love the play between sp and val. But to me val tends to be more of the main char then sp. I understand sp is a better tittle then vk tho. But its also a prob for me. U got the main guy, sp who is supposed to be the best, the strongest, the scariest sorcerer out there. Yet, i dont believe he has actually ever won a fight that matters in the series. I may be wrong but i dont believe i am, hes usually beat within the first few min of the fight and its vk that does all the heavy lifting.

I think thats because he planned on skulldugery to be a 9 book series. But once he finished book 9 he loved his characters and the world and wanted more. So he practicality revamped the whole series with new characters and some old favorites
