Today after bringing in some shitty wholesale cars for the auction on Monday, the truck driver who dropped them off joked about there not being any “sweet rides” for me this time. You see normally I pick out the shittiest looking truck and joke about how I would buy it and run shit over with it. He then continued to tell me how I should just buy a new one and that you can get a nice one for only $20k. Rather than explaining the ever so hard to grasp concept of why you would buy a “shit” truck to run “shit” over with versus a shiny scratch free new one, I just said that I was just a few cents short of an extra 20 thousand and couldn’t quite afford a new truck. Then he continued to convince me as if he were getting the commission off this sale when I ended it with “nah I have a wife and soon to be 2 kids to take care of”

I dunno if its the lack of his own son to pass down his words of wisdom, or if its the fact that I am always mistaken for a high school student, but he decided he would “give me some direction” because I clearly “need to get it together”. I need to get into college as fast as I possibly can, so that I can get a better job to support my family, because kids can be “expensive” costing several hundred thousand dollars (apparently all at once, tho I’m not sure cause I don’t have any). Theres nothing quite like unwanted advice. Especially coming from someone WHO SLEEPS IN A GODDAMN TRUCK! If i really wanted some advice, and I don’t, It shouldn’t be too fucking hard to find a better example. When I told him that college doesn’t guarantee success, and that it wasnt the only option in life he decided he would choose Bill Gates to push his point across. Cause you know….Bill Gates wouldn’t be where he is now without a college education. Ya him and my nutsack both. It was at this point I realized I’ve had more stimulating arguments with my 3 year old, and I went back to work. But I was left to wonder….just how many years of college would I need to drive a truck……
