The thrill has set in and the thought of driving a big rig even for a few feet made the adrenaline surge through me like a lightning bolt. I started it up, shifted into first gear and began slowly depressing the clutch and I felt the power of the engine when I applied pressure on the accelerator. Rolled it a few feet, blood rushing to my head, and then I realized I shouldn't linger lest anyone should catch me. I turned the behemoth off, hopped out and went back to my desk with a huge grin!

Try actually driving one (not in an encouraging way, just saying how much more complicated it is compared to a car)... They are slow, but kind of a thrill... My cheap-ass boss who didn't care about the law actually forced me to learn it but drive a Volvo VNL 300 unlicensed in a past delivery company when the usual A-License driver went to visit relatives, plus the occasional bobtail run (without trailer) to refuel after. At least you got it moving without stalling on the first try; those things operate almost radically different from a car (where you're not supposed to throttle from a stop since it has so much torque it'll ruin the transmission; glad it didn't break on you or anything... no synchro shifting, gear-splitting 10+ gears, etc.).

Wow I did not know this at all! Looking back on it I am glad no one caught me or else I would have been fired.

I would say surfing e90post till I'd read everything interesting in OT, then checking my email, and THEN, despite knowing only 1 minute has elapsed, somehow deciding to go back to e90post.

Knowing full well no new topics will have been posted because OT has become boring lately. But despite knowing this, I still find myself typing in the address, constantly, even though no time has elapsed for people to create an interesting topic.

I'm so bored right now...I should be finishing a memo for work, but can't bring myself to do it.

Is this when you go out or are you doing this alone in your house with a karaoke machine hooked to you TV? 2 different levels of weird here haha
