Sunday over.

One of the Quick Trip people called and said he would be paying for another month. He is no longer with Quick Trip, I found out, he found another job here somewhere and apparently is much happier with it.  Whatever floats his boat. Unfortunately, I wasn't at a computer at the time to take his payment and when I called back, his phone went straight to an "unavailable" message. Try again tomorrow.

One of the other tenants offered to take me to the airport and amazingly, even the kids wanted to go with us.  I don't know.  Maybe they like going for rides, they could have stayed home and played their games.  Wondered if the battery might be dead, vehicle hadn't been started in 3 weeks, but it fired right up as if I had just stopped in the grocery store.  

A couple called wanting a night's stay, of which I happily offered.  I didn't go over to the park today, mostly because I didn't get my vehicle until this afternoon and decided to just wait to go over when those people showed up.  So, yes, it's 9:30 pm, they just showed up 20 minutes ago, paid cash and I looked in dismay at the amount of overgrown grass and weeds.  I'll be out there early tomorrow if I can force my @$$ out of bed. Well, whenever I get up, I'll be out there spending hours mowing grass/weeds.  I thought about getting rye grass seed, we are into that season now, but there is no real rain coming for a while.  

Anyway, the weather is finally nice here so mowing won't wear me down like it does in 100 degree heat.  I have rents to collect and NJ people to confront.  Well, I won't start confrontational, but considering the situation with these people and what's allegedly going on with that "couple", well anyway, I'll just leave it at that.  

It doesn't take particularly late into the night now to get me getting sleepy and ready to go to bed.  

 Sunday

Dog woke me up a couple of times last night, but other than that, sleep was finally good again.  I wonder how long it would take to try and get to the point where I'm feeling like I did before I left on that trip.  One driver over there said "you have sleep deprivation" after I described the nights of sleeplessness because of constant noise.  I didn't disagree with him on that as he went on to say that trainees should be well rested and that they should just put you up at a hotel.  Yeah, well, the nearest hotel being 17 miles away, that probably wouldn't have worked out too well having to be up at 3:30 at the bunkhouse and then be at the fuel pumps at 4:00 - or whatever the day called for, either earlier or later.

I can tell ya I won't want to go back to work. At all.  Not after that.  I didn't say I won't go back to work with them, I just won't want to go back to work.  So, button down the hatches, make some more changes to spending habits and pay off debt. That was the whole purpose of getting this job and I'm hoping I can pay at least a grand per month on debt.  4 cards, specifically, that are "well up there".  I had no way of paying them down with the income being generated by the park and I was still having to use them in cases where something comes up and I had no real money in the bank to be able to afford it.  

I'm going to drag this thing out in case they want me back at work too soon by driving the truck in on-duty mode over to the park today.  I could legitimately do it in off duty mode, but if I do on-duty, it will keep me from getting a 34 reset.  I have like 5 or 6 hours left on the 70 hour clock.  I don't really want to have to do any tricks to keep them from forcing me back into the driver's seat, I just need enough time off to mow the grass/weeds over there and whatever else has to be done beyond that and collecting rents.  

I texted the NJ people and heard nothing back from them. They are far behind on their rent.  So far that they will be receiving an ultimatum: pay up or leave.  I don't care which at this point, she got money at the end of last month and tho I haven' been there to get any money from them, they also haven't responded to my text messages.  She hasn't tried to contact me, the games are getting old.  Pay up or get out.  Take that old trailer with you as well.  

Well, off to the races. To church and then hopefully to get my vehicle from the airport.
