I hope I can cool down a bit before I get home. I’m mostly angry with Countrywide, but I’m mad at Mara, too. I told her from the start that if she sent money to Countrywide to send it registered mail so that they’d have to sign for it, thus proving that they got it. […]

Maggots At Countrywide
Well, those fucking maggots at Countrywide are trying to do exactly what I warned Mara about. They wouldn’t process the check Mara sent them. Now they’ve filed a motion to dismiss the stay against them because they say they never received a payment. Mara sent them two checks. She sent the second when they never […]
Guess Road
Should they really have located the North Carolina School of Science and Math in Durham on Guess Road?
Fall Blooming
This had not occurred to me until just now, but aren’t some of the trees starting to bloom with their leaves already their fall colors? Or have they done this every year for the last 40 years and I just didn’t notice?
Thought About The Outer Banks
I’ve often thought that I might like to live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Hatteras, maybe?
Repetitive Stress
My hand is feeling a little better lately. I’ve been very careful with it. I don’t even know if I’ve mentioned it or not. I have no idea what I did to it, but I suspect I’ve spent too much time driving while holding the phone in my right hand and hanging on to the […]
Impatient On A Friday
Well, it’s not good that the driver of the 2nd truck is over here shooting the shit with the guy who came in after me. That means that his load, which is packaging (mine and the first truck’s is/was beverages) is going to take longer than the first truck. Okay, so I’m impatient. It’s Friday, […]
Nervous At Consignee
Well, I was afraid of how long it was going to take at consignee, but there were two trucks in front of me and they knocked the first one out in about 30 minutes. I might get out of here reasonably early. I’m crossing fingers that Epes doesn’t do anything creative. Please just get me […]
Stepping Up
Heading on in to delivery. I wound up crashing about sixty miles out. You’d think I’d be getting more sleep than I have been, given that I’ve been running shorter trips this week. But it just hasn’t worked out that way. I was text messaging with Mara until 01:00. I mentioned that I was thinking […]
A Special Woman
Something’s been eating away at me today. The Epes driver I talked to this morning was talking about his wife, and how it took a special woman to “hold down the fort” while he was on the road, and how his wife kept the house clean and generally took care of things at home. I […]
