    Eight months.

    The day after my 21st birthday, late September, I’d left home to go to trucking school. Went through a trucking company’s in-house “apprenticeship” program, which was somewhat predatory in hindsight.

    Anyway, I went through this program, managed to get my CDL, which took several months by itself (through no fault of my own - the program was designed to take that long), and when I finally got a truck to myself, it only took me about five weeks to grow tired of the sudden isolation. I was finally allowed to go home around Easter.

    After my three allocated days of hometime, I decided to quit that company, and I found a better job closer to home.

    My partner and I were away from each other for three years in different countries and continents because of Covid… then we got married :)
