 Friday - early

Not going to get back into the habit of getting up late.  Just too rough to try and start getting up early after you're in that groove.  I didn't need to get up early for anything...my new manager said he would be calling this afternoon.

I take that back, late arrivals last night, I need to go collect money before they take off out of there. 2 trailers showed up yesterday, one at 5: 00 pm and another much later.  The late arrivals called and I just told them to take the space.  We had already agreed to pay up this morning.  So, just before they get out of there quick, I want to get my money.  

I'm just trying to down a cup of coffee and get a second cuppa before leaving. Amazingly, everyone is gone as well. James is over cutting pine trees somewhere, Taylor doing work related stuff 2 towns over and the kids are in school. Kids will be gone for a week next week for there will be no one here to watch them and they don't want to pay child care. They will, instead, go to grandma's.  

I'll be busy attempting to adjust to the new lifestyle of trying to juggle a job and a business at the same time. The job sounds pretty easy.  Go up, load, come home, leave home, go unload, come back home. Go up, load, etc.  The manager seems to think it's going to work out that way.  It's got to be that it's too many miles to make an entire trip in one day.  Of which I'm glad or I could envision a very grueling day of driving the entire day plus load/offload.  That's the other part of the equation, you can't force loading or unloading any faster than it goes.  And in my case, it will take longer than normal at first for I will be triple checking everything to make sure I have it all right.  

Whatever the case, my time is about up here. People tend to leave early and tho we agreed, I want my money. I have both lots being refilled again today with people staying for 2 and 3 days. I'm thinking about changing my weekend rates more in line with the RV industry.  People travel to see their kids/students in this town on the weekends.  Why charge them more? Because I can, that's why.  Everyone else in town is much more expensive excepting the trashy parks which no one that has a 150k trailer wants to stay at.  

Anyway, more later. 

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
