I did those food demos and boy oh boy did they do a number on my back. I can move around all day but stand still for 4 hours trying to get people to stop - Ugh. They called to ask if I could do a make up for one that was cancelled but somebody else claimed it first. I keep trying to find my receipts... Sign in to see full entry.

Friday while I was executing my food demo of cereal, four boys approached the table. They wanted samples. Sorry, I can't give to you without your parents. One who reminds of an Eddie Haskell wannabe pointed at me and shouted "I'm going to call the police on you!" I laughed and said okay. He shouted,... Sign in to see full entry.

There's a homeless family. I talked about them before here. She has a teen and 2 little ones. They come to the travel center and kind of takeover in the lounge. Last night one of them grabbed the remote from my chair when I had my eyes closed. I told Michelle. She's getting very frustrated with... Sign in to see full entry.

As if being homeless isn't enough, Capitol One now wants their pound of flesh. If I had the money I would still be making payments. But between the accident and DD money dropping to 2/3s of what I used to make, I just didn't have the money. Now all the savings are gone and all I have left is what's... Sign in to see full entry.

Well I thought the remote hog learned his lesson. Obviously not. He had control of it the entire time I was there yesterday. We went from Two and Half Men to fishing competition to some kind of religious weirdo. He doesn't get the fact that he is not the only one there and should have the courtesy...

The remote hog was there before me yesterday. I think maybe he got the message. It stayed on the same channel. Later that evening three sisters arrived. The oldest was the babysitter. The two younger ones were too full of energy and running around and playing on the chairs. She repeatedly... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to the travel center early yesterday. The remote hog was there but someone else had it. When he left, I grabbed the remote and hid it. Now the hog couldn't stand to leave it on one station so it wasn't long before he started a search for the remote. He was not happy. He looked and looked. He... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night I arrived before the remote hog again. I took the remote and hid it on my side after asking if anybody minded me changing the channel. No one minded. I put it on a Law and Order marathon. He arrived later and kept looking for the remote surreptitiously. Michelle came upstairs to join me... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to the travel center as usual last night. The remote hog wasn't there. I took it and hid it on my left side. It was wonderful. Everybody was able to watch the movies without the channel changer there. It's the little things. I left for the rest area about 11. I didn't bother to change into my... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! Not even on the job four days and already she is a pain in the arse. They hired a new person at the travel center and nothing but problems last night. She took twenty minutes for an emergency phone call. As Michelle was training her on the computer she just walked off. Michelle asked her... Sign in to see full entry.
