This day started out normal, but then got progressively worse as the day went on. This company decided to Mill the road and pave right after it. It's been done before, but it got crowded quick. Too many trucks on the road. Getting in the way of each other. Now, they are finished milling for today. And now it is just paving the road. Bobcat skid steer broke down and held up progress for about an hour. But it is fixed now and it has moved out of the way. But, we still have not continued paving yet. I don't know why we are sitting here and doing nothing.
I only got 5 hours of sleep last night, because I could not go to sleep. And now I am feeling tired and drowsy. I keep thinking about my bed. I keep thinking about sleep. But, looking ahead now at the unpaved road in front of me, I can already say with confidence that we are going to be working late today. If they really and truly want to get this road finished today, then we need to get started back again right now. I do not want to be here until 6:00 p.m. again today.
It is the same as it has always been for years. There is a fine balance between my paycheck and my life. If I work too many hours, then I get a big paycheck, but I don't have much of a life. If I do not work enough hours, then I get a small paycheck, but I do get to spend that little bit of money on something enjoyable in my life. Because I have the extra time to do it. Anyone who has been keeping up with my journal already knows that I'm trying to get away from a job. I wish to retire early. But not as a dump truck driver. I wish to retire early as a content creator. I have the tools, the talent, the knowledge, and the method and system to put it all together and make it happen. And that is what I'm going to do.
