Wednesday - evening

The Yesterland was a bust.  Half the rides were shut down.  I mean, there were all of these different school districts from all over the place that showed up today and all of those rides were shut down?  What on earth were they thinking? 2 railroads, 2 rollercoasters, the Ferris wheel, several kiddie rides, a bunch of stuff was just not open.  This place isn't that big to handle all of those kids coming for a fun time.  We were just in awe of the disregard this place had for the kids and parents showing up - driving themselves over there. 

ALL of the food shacks were closed - and there are a lot of them - excepting one. The gift shop? Closed.  Cotton candy shop? Closed. Hot beverage shack? You know, where you get hot coffee and cocoa and a very cold winter day (it was 32 when I left this morning, it was 36 when I got there)? CLOSED.  Absolutely appalling.  In the entire time we were there, the kids got to go on fully FOUR rides, one of them was just a slide.  

Whatever.  

My manager contacted me on the way back, well texted me.  Sorry to bother you on your day off, is Friday the 13th okay to work? I had to laugh at the way he put it, even tho I don't think he was joking, probably didn't even think about it lol.  Yes, but I need Sunday off.  I have missed 2 weeks of church in a row.  Okay, work Friday/Saturday, off Sunday.

So what does that mean? It means that I don't have to work tomorrow! Woooohoooootenhooooo! Now that was good news. I actually get to just sleep in tomorrow. Oh, the goodness of that thought. Just lay in bed, do nothing, think about nothing, just lay there, sleeping or not, in the morning. Yeah, I don't care what needs to be done, or do I?

Oh a hot potato in your hands yes, I care.  I just got an automated phone call from the city saying my water has been running for a long time, please check everything. They have upgraded meters that apparently can talk to the system.  Good thing, yes, because by the time they call me about that? Someone has already wasted a LOT of water.  

So, in about 10 minutes, I'm taking the boys to church and then I'll head over there to check every single outlet out and see if there is a leak. If not, then I will start pounding on doors.  There is a major water leak going on, check your faucets please.  I will try to get to the bottom of it, if it's external that's easy, if it's internal and someone isn't owning up to it? Then we have a serious problem that will have to wait until tomorrow for it's going to get dark soon. I'll have to just listen for water running through the pipes at every lot.  That could take quite a while. But again, who knows? Maybe someone left an outdoor faucet on again?  No clue. 

It's concerning because it can rack up quite a water bill if not caught quickly.  I dunno, several older units in there, it's been cold, tho I don't think it got below freezing last night. It did get to 32, I believe. That isn't a hard freeze and I don't get issues with it.  

Meanwhile, the Rottweilers.  They are going through trash cans at night. People think it's the next door neighbor's dogs. They do have Rotties over there.  Just let them run free!  Who cares, right?

I need to get offa here. Gonna be time to leave soon.
