I CAN'T work 100 hours a week. #1, I'm not crazy
#2, I'm not stupid
#3, I'm not desperate
&
#4, I'm a senior citizen
And I don't mean to offend you by using the word 'stupid'. I just never understood why anyone would work 2 jobs (other than temporarily & for a specific purpose) when there are options like getting a job that actually pays the bills or going to school.
So sick of not making a living wage!

I talked to a company yesterday in a small town near Nashville. They told me they paid 40 cents a mile. I thought I had gone back to 2010.

LOL ⬆⬆⬆
I don't know what anyone pays. I didn't ever get that far in looking for a job. The job that I did get, my friend who is training me, says he makes $1200/wk. That's so much better than the $450 I'm used to making, I didn't pay attention to mileage. He did say I get extra for additional drops. Fine with me. I had multiple drops when I was driving for Cannon Express & I didn't get anything.
Something is better than nothing, I always say.Dave_in_AZ and Trucking in Tennessee Thank this. -

When we moved to Texas and there were coyotes out at night, she refused to go outside. She would walk out to the door and stick her nose up in the air... I saw her ears curve back and she ran back inside to safety. That's when she died, when she couldn't go outside anymore. It was sad because we rescued her as a kitten when she was lost in a nursery back when I was only in 7th grade.
We lost a couple of cats that didn't understand it was dangerous to go out at night. Despite us trying to keep them in doors, sometimes they would slip out. One Siamese lose was my fault when I went to my parents house to babysit for them while they went on vacation and watch their cats. I went outside to smoke a cigar and she ran out. We never saw her again. I heard the coyote hunting cries about 45 minutes after I lost her. It happened pretty close to the house. She had a black face and bright blue eyes. She was an emotional cat and when I lost her my mom cried. I felt bad.
When she got past me I think I said something like "come back cat" and she gave me a couple angry "meows" and then disappeared into the night. I know why, she didn't know me. She thought she was abandoned again. It was sad.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
She was smart not to go outside. Coyotes travel in packs and are extremely aggressive toward prey animals like domestic cats & dogs.
