Day 3.. of traveling.... no toll boths again. Thankfully!!

We survived our night in the motel. I still prefer hotels to motels. If you want to call me a snob for that, feel free to do so. Anyway as I said in a previous post, the place was clean and the staff was doing the best they could. I simply don't feel safe in motels. Being in a motel made it easier to load the SUV in the morning. I was able to pull up right next to the door and load everything.
We headed out to get gasoline and found that the gas stations were only opened for pay at the pump. This is something I am not a fan of because my card was once skimmed in Omaha. Our next stop was McDonald's. Oh yes, we had a delicious breakfast of burritos at McDonald's. 
As we headed down I-40 west it began to rain. It didn't last long. At our first stop, it was so nice to step out of the car without any humidity. However, the dog would prefer grass and humidity. She did go potty in the dirt, but she didn't like it. As we navigated the twists and turn in the mountains, I drove like a snail. Our next stop was for lunch.  We stopped at Arby's and the line was super long. A man went inside to get his food, came out, got upset with the long line of cars in the drive thru because he couldn't back up. A man in front of us decided he was going to back out of the drive thru only a slight problem, we were right behind him. After laying on the horn for what seemed like forever, he finally saw us and stopped. Thank goodness.
We continued down I-40. It was so scary. I am not a fan of driving in mountains and I got to do just that. We dropped down in elevation and then went up in elevation. We also twisted and turned through the mountains. The drops offs on the side of the mountain was quite a ways down. Mom says the views were pretty. I cannot comment because I was only looking at the road in front of me. Thankfully, traffic was light and the person in front of me also drove like a snail.  Once I was out the mountains it was only a few more hours until we stopped for the day. I was so relieved to be done.

My dog is my new boss

Today, I walked out and quit my job. Huh? Am I serious? Yep, absolutely. Normally, I would tell someone don't ever do this, but sometimes a person has to do what is best for them.  Here is what happened: 7:50 a.m. Arrived at work. 7:50 a.m. to 7:55 a.m. Placed my lunch in the breakroom fridge, filled up my water bottle, and logged into my computer. Once I logged into my computer and saw the email, I decided to make today my last day. Why? Was it really that bad? My ex boss (I love how that sounds.) was demanding a meeting with me to go over my soft skills and discuss my future goals with the company.  This meeting was unnecessary, I had turned in my notice and my last day was to be on the 29th of May.  I couldn't get out of the meeting. It was mandatory.  Would the meeting really have been that bad?  Well, if it had been like past meetings, yes.  Historically, she doesn't have a positive thing to say, she puts me down, do...

If you have a Dyson Animal 3 listen up.

-
The recline feature suddenly stops working. About a year ago, I decided to splurge on a good vacuum because I was tired of replacing the vacuum every few years. Well, I vacuumed, shut it off and tried to use it the next day and wouldn’t recline. After trying some of the tips online, I gave up and called Dyson. After an hour wait, the guy told me that this model had a defect. So, if I send it back, they will send me a replacement. So, now I am waiting for a replacement. I am also wondering why they don’t recall it.

Why don't I share my political views on social media?

-
 I don't share my political views because it usually leads to disagreement amongst people and frankly, I don't feel like arguing with anyone. Also, I have to be careful about my conduct on a social media platform because of my job. I must protect my source of income and my future. I will always speak out against violence against women and violence prevention because those are my areas of research.
