I Feel Useless

I live a rather pathetic existence, I spend the vast majority of my time alone, my entire life is wrapped up in my work. I drive a truck, it is a ceaseless, never-ending quest to get enough miles every week to pay my bills. I have seen pretty much every major highway in this country and the days all run together anymore, nothing really changes. The job I do requires no intelligence as evidenced by myself and the majority of those who do this job, quite the opposite actually, this job requires a level of ignorance sufficient to make it impossible to acquire a real job that would pay enough. I could teach anyone to do this job in a week. What I cannot teach is how to deal with the loneliness. The feeling that I am not needed or wanted by anyone. The feeling that many people out there hate me even though they have never met me. The traveling public, the police, the customers I haul for and the customers I deliver to all seem to have a disdain for me and those who do my job. After typing this I realize it is not really the proper group for this but hell, I have already typed it all out and I am not going to go and find a group that says, "Truck driving sucks" or something like that, I guess I just needed to vent a little. Some days are harder than others when you spend weeks at a time away from loved ones and realize that as much as I care for them and as much as they say they care about me, life goes on without me, everyone I know has a life and enjoys their life with or without me being involved in it in any way. I am happy for them but I am also jealous of them. Any way my rant is complete now and I am going to bed.
