Hurry Up and Wait

Well the weekend was great. Gimme a truck so I can go work now, please... thanks.

I wish it were that easy. I was all excited as I prepared for bed last night, thinking "tomorrow is Monday and I just know the boss will call and instruct me as to where and when to get my truck".

However, I woke up this morning remembering what he had told me when we spoke on Friday.... "I work Tuesday through Saturday every week..."

So I doubt I will be hearing from him (or any of his colleagues) today. Which is peachy but I'm kinda sad too. I need to work and earn money. My checking account is dwindling. I will get a small check for the week of training I had last week, but I have NO idea when to expect that.

I am also anticipating a check from my old company at some point as well. I signed a paper to cash out my Union pension contributions which should come to somewhere around a thousand bucks. Which would be REALLY handy right about now. But I have no idea when that is supposed to be cut and mailed to me, either.

So right now, I wait (impatiently) for a truck and for money rightfully owed to me. I hope I can get through this week without completely depleting what's left in my checking account. I do have some mula in savings, but I prefer NOT to touch that unless absolutely necessary.

Luckily all of the bills are paid for this month and we just made a trip to the grocery store and filled up the car as well. So that's good. But what if I find something sparkly and shiny and just have to have it? hahaha j/k

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
