Listening to the wind

          It's been a beautiful Saturday. Today consisted of washing cloths and hanging them out to dry.  As the wind blew, I spent some of my time thinking about past mistakes and future ones that will happen.  Wasting time...

           I waste most of my time thinking of what might happen. I have been applying for a summer job. Wow, I didn't expect it to be this hard. The McDonald's application didn't work out in my favor. The manager came out to speak with me, and she said I was wasting my time. "You have a college degree, and you are over qualified for this minimum wage job."  She wasn't really being mean, but she should be an equal opportunist. I just need a job for two months and possibly a part time job once school starts back. 

        College has actually made me miss a couple of opportunities. These sad little jobs will not hire me when they can work high school students. I just need a job people!  Can't you see that I'm a dedicated person and will work?  If anything you would think they wanted someone to work who has made an effort in life, but no. I'm just disappointed in this whole situation. I hate to sit and vent, but right now I don't know what to write about. The manager at one place basically said, "I don't really want to hire anyone who has a higher education than me. You might decide to put in for my position." I did't even try to apply in town, because most places are being over flooded with applications from Stanley's. 

       Trouble is coming and I can smell it in the wind.

       If a person like me cannot get a job, how are we supposed to support ourselves?

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
