Night all! Happy Saturday morning!

 Well, MY night anyhow.

Ok, so I'm way late getting to sleep this Saturday morning. I should be at farmer's market, but it's going to hit mid-90s before we're half done and I'm not going to have my wax melts melting before anybody buys them. So instead, I'll get some sleep after having spent WAY too much time watching replays of the Queen's Jubilee for the umpteenth time. Sorry, but Queen performing for Her Majesty is just superb. This time, I thought near the end, Freddy Mercury would have LOVED doing this so much. I've got some fun, funny, interesting, what have you, pictures from Fakebook to post later for y'all, and I'll get to that once I'm up for the day.

Chores today - dishes that I should have done Friday, trash out and burnt (glass and metal get recycled, but paper and cardboard and the like all go in the barrel and get lit off), laundry, and get groceries. Might get some work done on the yard too, as it's getting REALLY shaggy because it's been too hot to mow. We shall see on that last. May have to cave and just hire a crew to come deal with it for once. Nobody to do it for me and I'm really not in much of a mood to deal with it. Have to figure out how to repair that doggone outside spigot, too, in the next week or two. The knob thingy broke off, so I have to replace the spigot. At least the house is relatively clean other than getting all these doggone boxes out of the house and in the barrel. Not much else going on for my Friday night (second shift can blow me one of these days when things get better), so I'm off to get some snooze time.

Just a thought here...

 But work-wise, COVID changed so much for the world as far as how we work. For two years, work was done remotely as much as possible. Now there are several ways to work - full time in office, mixed (part time in the office and part time remote), and fully remote. Employers have learned that remote work still gets done and often much better and faster than in-house. With less distractions, work can be done more easily. Which made me think just now, with so many companies going full remote on everything they can, which saved boatloads of money on expensive leases for office space, a lot of this office space is going to go to waste. What need for skyscrapers and fancy, expensive offices other than to prove that the men in charge of leading these companies have a need to compensate for a lack of something elsewhere? Which also made me think, I've had a few good sites for remote work bookmarked for ages and done nothing with them. As I'm still employed but seriously looking for empl...

Today wasn't really any better

 As I'm no longer a "top dasher," making any money today was almost a bust. $24...woohoo. I need to try up in Green Forest, where the plant is, tomorrow and see how that does me. No midrange restaurants there, just a diner that closes early, a gas station with a bunch of food type things (chicken, tacos, etc.), and a small handful of low-midrange restaurants. I can give it a whirl for a few hours and see what happens. Worst that happens is the nothing I'm doing now and I come back to home base to make SOMETHING. On the other hand, come Saturday,  I start a new 3/4 time job at a local gas station. It's pretty regular and will at least keep the rent paid and the credit cards paid that all the bills are going on right now. Going to be a bit tight for a while till I can get back to top dasher status, which will be hard with only two days a week off anymore, and working till close every night. By the time the gas station closes, all the restaurants are done too, except...

It's been a weird few weeks

Weird starts with I like my job but I'm looking for something else. Seriously hunting for a different job. My supervisor is a toxic jerkwad and his boss thinks me asking him to speak to jerkwad about his behavior is funny. So it's hang on to the Just Over Broke until I find something else, maybe two of them, and then bail. I like the money and bennies, but I'll work my butt off on overtime if I have to just to make enough to pay the bills. I'm not staying where I'm not treated with dignity and respect. I have been putting out apps and have an interview Monday at 1pm. Means a bit short sleep for the plant if I don't get an immediate job offer/start date, but I'll manage somehow. Because the plant honestly has me in tears a lot and my mental health is at stake. I cannot deal with it much longer and stay sane. Not a lot of places that will hire someone in their 50s so I'm a bit limited there, but something will come along eventually. If not this thing Monda...
