    You might hear about me on the news next week...

    I'm finally going to driver training, starting next week. I know most of you know about my car accident a few months back, I drove my car into ditch whilst trying to kill a spider (yes, really).

    At your center, what belt do new preloaders start on? Any fun preload stories?

    I got started on belt one of three. It's a small center. A supervisor is telling me I shouldn't have been started on that belt but i think it'll make me a better preloader in the end. I really like this job so far.

    I just finished Integrad in Portland, Oregon

    Hello all. It is a relief to be able to say that I made it through Integrad and it was not as bad as I had expected.
