On Friday, in the tablet for the loads to take, there was one load in the "available" slot.  I accepted it, this was early morning, wanted to be sure I got that in before they got the day rolling and handing out assignments for the weekend.  It wasn't really a choice, you take those or you get a label attached to you and not a nice label at all.  It's whatever, it would have been 2 full weekends working in a row. Instead, I got Saturday working but Sunday off, which happened to align with Father's Day. Yes, I am a father.  

Normally, they put the loads in the "accepted" slot, meaning it's assigned.  I kind of wondered about it Friday, but since I accepted the available load, it didn't matter. When I looked in the tablet again yesterday, there was a load assigned for Tuesday, nothing for this weekend. 

I thought it odd because when I was at the delivery plant yesterday, one tank was almost empty and the other had enough room for a truckload and a half.  My company didn't contact me, I don't care. It's on them to deal with their end of the bargain, I certainly put up with enough s*** on my end.  

So, when the phone rang this morning directly before leaving for church and saw that it was my manager, I knew exactly what was going on before I even answered the phone. He was going to ask me if I'm loading today, I'm going to say no, he's going to say well you're scheduled, I'm going to say no I'm not, there's nothing in the tablet.  Then the conversation would go on from there and I would say that there was no communication about it, it's not in the tablet, tough, no, I will not go load today. 

NOT SORRY. 

I was direct about it, if you want me to work and you know about it, LET ME KNOW IN ADVANCE.  After he asked if I would load today and I said nope, I went on to the fact I'm on my way to church and I have other plans. I'm going to be a dad who sits at the house and does much of nothing after I leave church, I thought but certainly didn't say to him.  I figured I had been direct enough, I don't want him thinking I'm being spiteful or disrespectful, but please.  

I don't know who did what, I sent him a pic of the tablet and what's in it - the one load for Tuesday, nothing before then. He didn't want to see it, he said he believed me but I sent that photo anyway.  I have no problem saying no nowadays.  I used to think you should just stop whatever you're doing and help them out - and I will if it's an emergency and I think it warrants me abandoning whatever I'm doing - but this was no emergency and wasn't created by me. 

The alternative wasn't much better but I accepted it for the customer will get pissed if we don't deal with it and for now, I'm sticking with this job until I find something that fits me better.  I will have to go wash out, load AND deliver tomorrow.  I certainly hope I sleep well tonight, I'm going to need it.  

Whatever the alternative was going to be, I wasn't going to just drop my plans for today. 

 Sunday - morning

So, I am home alone.  Until Friday I do believe.  I'm doing anything different, lol. I was supposed to work today but they took that out of my tablet and dumped a load for me on Tuesday.  I'm curious, tho, if they made a mistake on my load? They put it into a section on the tablet that is for drivers to determine whether they want the load or not.  They do do that sometimes, but not very often.  I opted to take it for what else is there to do? Church, sure, but other than that, there is just working at the property or seeing if folks are free to hang out with.  

I don't feel like hanging out with anyone.  In fact, I want to do a nice cleaning of my room. I already scrubbed the kitchen, it was sort of a mess. I am going to church today, I don't really feel like it tho. I'd rather just sit here and think about things. 

And now we have the Iran-Israel war.  We all knew this was coming, basically inevitable. The Iranian government enacts their evil in the name of religion, enabling them to mercilessly kill innocent humans all over the region.  We all know they do this through proxies, just another name for the IRGC.  Netanyahu has been hinting at military action against Iran for some time now and declaring their right to self preservation regardless of what anyone thinks. 

I agree with them on that stance and also that they are allegedly only targeting military complexes in Iran, not civilian populations. No surprise that Iran is just bombing indiscriminately the entirety of Israel and likely gleefully killing civilians.  It's the government in Iran that's evil, the citizenry is more against their own government than for it, at least if you believe the news reporting going on for decades now.  

Trump is no perfect man, but he's many levels higher in his ability to deal with world leaders and see things as they really are than Harris or Biden.  I can't even imagine the world scene right now with a Harris presidency.  Does anyone really believe the Cackling Clown could handle what's going on right now?  Everything is a huge joke to her, I think that was half of the reason she didn't get elected. She takes nothing seriously.

Trump, however, is dead stone serious about Israel, Iran, Russian, China, Ukraine etc.  he has a vision with the tariffs,, whether they work fully to the goals set remains to be seen, but the world has certainly stood up and taken notice.  

What's the end game for Israel?  I don't know how this conflict ends. If the US is dragged into this via Iran hitting any US assetts, it is likely game over for them if you believe Trump and his words spoken at the military parade about this situation.  

On to more mundane things.  A couple that has been living in the park maybe 6 months now asked for a deal to cut the grass and other tidying up things in exchange for rent.  She is allegedly looking for a job. I do have a heart so I agreed to it, spelling out the terms of the deal and that this is a one time thing only, it won't be extended for another month.  I made that crystal clear.  I also tripled the amount of work they initially asked to do.  For lot rent, they are doing more than a few hours of work, thanks.  

They aren't going to get any leniency either.  I want i done the way I want it done.  

I called the septic company again.  The man that is in charge of getting things done said he has no idea what is holding this up.  What? You basically run the office aspect of this company for the owner.  I just stopped short, became rather curt with him and said give me a call when you find out and hung up on him.  I then texted the owner, told him I'm moving on and then put a request in the local business/gossip facebook page asking for a reputable septic company.  A bunch of people tagged this owner and his company who came on there and said give us a call at X number!  

I didn't respond to anything but the people who said another local company was much better.  

A few hours later, the owner texted me and apologized. He said he didn't know it was my post until just now that he had responded to and informed me that RV parks are harder to get permitted now. Some new person is working at the county demanding plans and wanting more paperwork than is necessary. I'd say it's an implant from a democrat run city.....they like to make things harder than necessary and also more costly.  People get into power trips and think they know the best way to do things....He promised he'd find out what's up and that was that. It was Friday afternoon, I don't expect to hear anything until Monday at least.  I want to know if I need to do whatever to get this thing rolling, it's getting ridiculous. We're talking a septic system here, not a Space X rocket.  

The power company has already green lighted everything.  I'll be out there tomorrow to find out the size wire I need to run from the power company pedestal to my setup and get busy with that program.  I can get the power turned on to it, which will motivate me to get this thing rolling even more, let's go!  

I think that's about it.  I am home with a dog,  3 cats, fish and no one else lol.  

I'll go to church this morning but whether I go out to eat remains up in the air.  Not as much fun going alone.  I'm not feeling sorry for myself, not at all.  Just that we have ample amount of food to prepare here per the diet we are on.  I want to eat that stuff before it goes bad, it won't last until the other guy gets back the end of this coming week. 

Almost 2 weeks into this diet, I can't really say I see any changes and I haven't weighed myself at all.  But the food I am eating is definitely far more healthy for the body than the stuff I was eating before. 

Well, on to other things.  I think I will start cleaning after I get home today.
