> > > I have a diverse background. I am a licensed tractor-trailer driver-trainer, I still drive rigs, I am a certified addictions counsellor, I have a degree in psychology, I did R & D at a computer company, I taught stats and chemistry at a university, I did contract work for an environmental group you'd readily recognize, and I moved pianos. I got published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in a field for which I have no training or education. Go figure. That's the short list.

What sort of employer can accept an employee telling them when he can come to work? If I was working in an office, and didn't show up for five weeks, would that be a sustainable behaviour? Pretty unlikely.

Actually, trucking sounds really good to me. You're your own boss. No one looking over your shoulder every minute. You take assignments when you're up for them. I would think you'd miss using your medical knowledge and that data base mind of yours ... but I guess you get enough of a workout with that here at PB.

P.S. What are brain cramps? Is that Canadian for brain fog?
