June 2005 Archives

Things are wrapping up here at my current house, all other members having moved out. They also took their furniture with them today, so woefully, I am without a bed for awhile. I am a tough young guy, but it sure is nice to have a bed. I am sleeping on the only furniture left here-- a sofa. I think it'll work out. I am moving out on Thursday, so for the most part, I don't have long to live like this. Luckily almost all of my stuff is still in boxes from when I moved here in the first place. It'll make it a little less of a task to move.

In any case, I am staying busy lately. Making the finances stretch is a full time job in itself lately. Hopefully my paycheck makes things easier soon. Trying to balance the car payment, insurance, rent, utilities, groceries, gas, and other miscellaneous expenses is a struggle at the very least. Besides that, I am supposedly saving for school tuition and housing...

Oh well, I will try to chronicle more of my life tomorrow and we'll see if things gets a little more interesting.

The longest day of the year, and it was the first time I was hoping the sun would go down sooner. It was so hot today that I barely wanted to move. I don't have air conditioning at work or at home, so I spent today absolutely cooking. I guess it's 1 in the morning, and I am still hot, but I gotta grab some Zzzz's now as I have work in the morning.

I am hoping I move some more trailers this week. It's been a slow start to work, and I need to get things moving. Bills need to be paid as usual, and need money for this fall and starting school, again, so I can't afford to be broke. I wish I had more news, but I am just trying to sell my notebook and find a new place to live.

Night

I am so edgy tonight it's not even funny. I think I am about ready to rip somebody's arm off if they get a little too close. I guess it's just been too long of a frustrating day for me to be close to rational right now. Unfortunately, work turned out to be a disaster today, nearly all of it being a complete waste of my time, and it's not exactly like I have much of that to waste. And nearly all of the potential sales that I did have fell apart due to circumstances outside of my control. In any case, hopefully tomorrow sees me keep my lid on. I think the stress started to get to me in a way that I usually don't allow. I'm wound up so tight right now, that I'm afraid I'll snap when somebody wants to talk to me...

In any case, I still have two more days before I have to write off the entire week, and there is always the chance that I could get lucky with a sale. Otherwise? I can give it a couple more weeks, but not too much more than that. I am already looking at BMO for a line of credit to get the rent paid and get the next place secured. I really don't want to overflex myself this summer, so we'll see where things are going. I may have to get pretty creative!

I went to North Battleford, SK on Tuesday to see a Vanguard plant. It was really quite interesting. The manufacturing process there is quite involved, and they really make a nice trailer construction wise. I was quite impressed. They make a unit that I would be willing to make my primary residence - well, that is, if trailers had a much bigger bathroom. In any case, it helped me get to know the product more, and I had a good time, so I consider the trip a worthwhile investment in time.

Well, seeing as how I need to be at work tomorrow by nine, I am off to see the sandman...
