This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As a truck driver, kinda? But it gets damn old after a while. And pay is shit (when you calculate how much you work.)

But I did get to see 47 states.

did you see 47 states, or just 47 states worth of truck stops?

Somewhere in the middle. I certainly saw a lot of the landscape, spent some times in small towns around the country on my off days, and met some people.

But certainly didn't get a great feel of the culture a lot of the time.

I had a similar experience traveling for work. My first job out of college required traveling to lots of customer locations. I was excited to see the country. Turns out I got to visit a lot of airports and conference rooms.
