plan of action

 Store hours are being cut. Don't know why, doesn't make sense but I'll be turning those free hours into commercial crabbing and fishing time.  That's my original plan anyway.  To work as a stock dummy in off season then work crabs and fish in season. Makes sense since that's where the money is.  I adapted to a regular pay check and steady income from the beginning of this job. Not much money but steady work.  With gas and bait prices through the roof  I was kinda content with the income from store job.  But this little push of the hours being cut might be just what I need .  I don't have to catch much to make more money then I am now, it's more about getting out of comfort zone. 

My plan was-is to work p.t. in off season then do commercial fish in season until age 62 . I then would collect S.S. and do commercial crab and fish  for my income.  Maybe I should re evaluate this.  Maybe I should up the focus on fishing now and see where the road leads. I think Im stepping  over 20.00 bills to pick up 1.00 bills with working this retail stocking shelves job. Amazing how I can take the path of least resistance and feel comfortable with it.  But then again it's probably because I know everyday on the water is not profitable.  haha. The full time commercial guys say, "anyday not in the red is a good day " . I'm well aware of the self employed life style.  That's probably why I'm satisfied with working for a paycheck instead of busting ass everyday for a possible profit. 

Anyway,  I will be pursuing the commercial fish and crab venture this season, even if on a part time basis.  I see a future in catfishing here. 

Well,  it's 7:15 am on Memorial day.  In parked in front of store waiting to do a 3 and half hour shift. Hardly worth the time of showing up, but wanna keep this job for a while.  Time to punch in and watch all the hot women who insist on dressing as cock teasers and  go shop at the Dollar store.

Working retail.

 Took this gig last October, 2021 as a winter job.  I been saying I will get a winter job for several years now and never have.  Well I'm still here and actually not hating it too much.  Retail is new to me. Stocking shelves drinks cooler and freezer section is my main job.  Not difficult work but the being on one's feet all shift is tiring.  I think I'll be OK.  

Being a van dweller affords me the opportunity to work for less then poverty scale income, literally.  The job pays shit wages but everything else about it works for me. Location, hours, indoor work and steady income seal the deal. Dealing with the public is a new and  interesting thing,  but that's a story for another time. 

I'm typing this post to myself while on a 30 minute lunch break.  No one else will be reading this,  haha. So this will be a future look back into my perspective on this day, after unloading 1100 pcs. truck delivery. 

I really started wondering about my sanity since I actually like this job. I blamed and still do  blame the  bad brain Fog from covid for questioning my sanity and judgment.  Oh well. Do mentally challenged people realize they are challenged  ?  Catch 22.  

Living out of a van is still totally awesome.  I been at this close to 11 years.  It's really convenient to have lunch break on the parking lot of where I work, in my Roadtrek class B. 

I recall questioning my sanity after a few years of van dwelling in the beginning of this journey.  I still ask myself why a single guy , especially a younger man would pay very expensive rent moneys for a place to sleep.
