 I've made 2 trips now with that new, inward facing camera - with microphone - covered up with duct tape.  No one has said anything to me about it - yet - and I was speaking to my manager about something else that was bothering me today.

THAT situation were the endless phone calls I have made to corporate trying to get them to send me a copy of my 2019 W2.  In total, I made 57 phone calls over a few days span.  Not one single time did the corporate front desk answer, the HR department or the payroll department. This has been going on for a week and the lender was really grinding my balls about getting it.

So, today, I just started leaving message, after message - after message.........after message - to the payroll department since they refuse to ever answer their phone.  I then contacted my manager and told him I still do not have the W-2.  I then suggested and asked if it would be a good idea to contact the vice president of the company? Her email was listed and open to receiving questions.

That got an almost immediate reply: NO.  Lmao, I knew that wouldn't go over so well but he start sending them emails and they responded to him almost immediately as well. I finally got the W2 sent to me by the manager of payroll - I now have her email.  Anyway, that W2 has been sent to the lender, who sent more forms that they want me to print out and send back to them.

Gag.  Forms filled out, signed and sent. The biggest issue is getting info from my mortgage company, they can feel free to get whatever they need from them, I don't have the time to keep sending them the info they ask for and then they say, no, that's not what we want....the land lender wanted the same form filled out, direct communication, leave me out of it, there is nothing my current mortgage company has in terms of info on me that I would want censored from this lender.  

Anyway, I've made no mention of that camera situation to my manager and he's said zero, squelch, nada to me about it, it would be nice if it could stay that way.

Well the above was a few days ago.  I had  a weird dream.  I was in the truck, it was loaded with Ethylene.  I was driving down a road that came up to a building, the road went under the building. So, I drove down this 45 degree angle to the bottom and then tried to drive up the other side.  The truck wouldn't make it up and started sliding backwards.  I found myself backed into a room at the bottom and the trailer started leaking the chemical.  It was coming out in a small stream.  A man came up to me and told me I couldn't park there so I somehow got the truck up and out of that place.  The next thing I know, I'm driving up to a flood zone. There was an alligator that started chasing the truck, I wasn't worried about it but it was interesting to watch.  And then, the road ended at a street that was completely submerged in water.  I could tell by a stop sign a block away that it was at least 5 feet deep but I for some reason decided to drive through it anyway.  The entire truck slowly rolled over and disappeared under the water, which was also strange because the water wasn't that deep.  I got out of the truck, went over to dry land and then this man walked up to me with an apparatus that had 3 pipes attached together.  Is that the inside of the trailer? Yes, he said.  Oh, so it all leaked out? Yes.  The man was Titus, a person I haven't seen or heard from in at around 30 years.  Another driver came up and started laughing at me that I would have to go find a new job.......

I don't normally remember my dreams but this one was so odd, it didn't go away.  I did drive down a hill at a 45 degree angle once.  Coming back out a few weeks later - the truck and trailer were to be parked down there for a tent crusade,, it took me several times to get it out of there.  I ended up going around 50mph at the bottom of the hill and going up it to finally make it to the top.  I also worked with that kind of pipe for 12 years. The truck represented the current job. Titus - he was a young man in his 20's I think last time I saw him in the .....90's...... went to a church I used to go to.  I don't have any great meaning out of this dream, but it was so odd that so many things were in it that have been a part of my life at one time or another.

Whatever the case, the telephone pole is still not installed and they can't find an appraiser yet.  They said after the new year, probably.  Oh? I thought you said my rate was only locked in until the 23rd?  Oh don't worry I have that rate as long as this loan is active.  Ok.  I don't really want to wait that long to find out what they think the house is worth, but I have no connections to appraisers in Arizona lol.  I have been working so I haven't had time to get back to the property and try to finish the tree ribbon job.  I just got back from Brownsville today and will be heading to Oklahoma tomorrow.  I suppose I will have time on Friday to get out there and maybe Saturday since I will likely need a 34 hour reset. 

I'll need to check my hours available tomorrow. If the Oklahoma run will eat up enough hours, then I will definitely make it an overnight run so I will have most of Friday and all of Saturday off.  I need the work but I also need to get this ribbon stuff done and over with. I can probably get it done in 2 days worth of work.  I think.  Just want to get the land clearing on the dude's book for a date.  Not til next month, that's for sure, it's already the 15th and Christmas and New year's coming up, I figure mid January.  

By then I will know whether I am getting the loan. Well, by then I should either have the loan and the cash or the deal is called off - it really all depends on the appraisal.  Zillow has it showing at 279k.  Whether it's worth that much, who knows. It's showing a house that a man built years ago at over 400k and that sounds pretty high. 

Well I'm tired and don't really feel like going into anything else.

G'nite
