Summer Job

     It just isn't happening. I have put in several applications, but no one is hiring around here. Since the plant is closing everyone has been in a mad dash to find a back up job. I don't blame them, but now I'm stressed about finding a job. I hate being a ten month employee. I thought that blogging would eventually lead to some additional income, but no one seems to really read my blog. I guess I will be spending another summer cleaning in the cheap rooms of Nantahala.

    Cleaning for a job is very demeaning. I hate when guests make me feel beneath them just because I'm cleaning. I had a woman from New York once say, "OMG it must be a horrible doing your job, how many children do you have." She thought I must have been a toothless hill billy who would do anything for a penny. She ended up tipping me a twenty. She also said, "theres more money where that come from because you need some decent cloths." I was appalled!   She also mentioned that she was surprised I could speak full coherent sentences. Just because I'm from the South doesn't mean I'm stupid, have multiple children, or this is my last resort! It took all my mom's good "rasin'" for me not to tear her eye balls out!

    I was like, "bless your heart darlin' "   YEAH!  Bless your heart equates to: I feel sorry for you! I can be as sweet as my grandmother's tea and have wonderful manners, but that doesn't give anyone the right to judge me based upon where I live.

    For those of you who do read this blog, THANK YOU!

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...
