The Good, The Bad and The Ugly....

Sorry I have not posted for quite sometime but...there has been a lot of crappy stuff going on I just really did not feel like it....but hopefully now things are starting to turn around. So this might turn into a really long post....so here goes. After only being at Linley's for two weeks, John already knew that he did not like it there. There was a lot of stuff he saw going on that he did not agree with....so he now has a new job (that's "The Good") good in that it is a lot better paying than Linley's...the bad is that he has to travel to Missoula everyday (so that is reason #1 that we will be moving in the next couple of months). He is working for another trucking company doing local work hauling rocky mountain doubles (a 53 ft trailer and a "pup" trailer that is 28 ft). He hauls wood chips and sawdust. He is training this week. He rides along with other drivers so they can show him where to go into these mills.....because if you don't go into the right entrace, you are pretty much screwed....you can't back up, you can't turn around and you can't uncouple from you trailer. Not too sure how long the training period will be. He has to be in Missoula by 3:30 am.......and on that note...that brings me to "The Bad" (not the only bad....there has been many in the last couple of weeks). Remember that I also work graveyards.....So at night neither one of us are here. So I guess Daisy (she even looks guilty in this pic) suffers from separation anxiety (reason # 2 that we are moving). She doesn't chew or destroy things...she howls....all night long apparently. So we are now looking for a house to rent...without any close neighbors. So in the meantime...we have decided to buy another car (Hence probably "The Ugly") so when John leaves from work he will just drop her off at my work and she will have to stay in the car until I get off work. Sound cruel? She did it to herself.....we really have no other choice other than to spend money a doggie sitter (if we can find one). It will only be on Tues, Wed and Thur night for 5 hours. Other "Bad" stuff....our washer broke and had to call repair man.....I got a job where my cousin Peg works (why bad you ask)....the day before I was to start training....the computer crashed and we had to run out and buy a new one (ouch!). I finished my training only to do the very last step and come to find out that their message system does not support Windows Vista. The question was asked in my "interview" what type of operating system I had....and back then I had Windows XP, so nothing was ever mentioned.....you can't find a computer(on short notice) that operates on anything but Vista.....so I no longer "work" there. Well, I think that pretty much sums up our last few weeks...
