As soon as the shift started I went straight to the Cargo Van. I was already busy tearing up the floor when Paul came around yelling that I was taking too long. Even though I pointed out the Hundreds of Screws holding it to the few cross members remaining he didn’t care. The smell of Booze on his breathe was very evident at that early hour.

I had over half the floor removed and was about to just lay a new cross member across the Truck Frame as Safety when Paul came back screaming again. He would not listen to what I was saying about Safety. Then he said “You just don’t want to do this job.” My response was “I will do the job Safely even though I don’t want to do it.” I was told to get my tools and get out. I didn’t hesitate loading up my Tools on my Utility Cart and heading to empty my Locker in the Maintenance Compound.

I’d barely gotten my Coveralls off when Kharen and Paul showed up wanting the Key to the Compound. After Paul walked away Kharen tried being the level head suggesting we would talk on Monday when cool heads would prevail. My response was “Nothing will change by Monday and I’ll be back for my cheque next week”.

I was half way home feeling relieved when I remembered to call Kathy. It wasn’t even 9:00. She wasn’t surprised knowing it was about to happen. Minutes later I was home. I kiddingly said I even brought my own lunch.

Drizzle melting the Snow.

I spent the next Hour modifying my Resume and Cover-Page before using them to apply for a few more jobs. They will also show that I have been working but not where.

It felt strange having lunch with Kathy at noon but we both enjoyed it. I spent most of the afternoon catching up on reading many of the Blogs we follow. Later we went to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail before going to the Motor City Community Credit Union to deposit my Pay-Cheque. Since it might be a while before we do it again we went to Taco Bell’s Drive-Thru where we used a Coupon to get Burritos for supper.

Back at the Apartment before 4:30 I called Ivan at his home. Having worked on a number of jobs together we became fast Friends. The Bridge Closure had him home early again today. He said Paul was Drunkenly Bragging to him that I would be back begging for my job on Monday. Paul didn’t like it when Ivan told him I wouldn’t be back. We’ll be getting together for a Barbecue later this Summer.

The 6 o’clock Local News reported 47 Active Coronavirus Cases for the Windsor/Essex Region. They also spoke about a Court Injunction that will end the Border Blockade.

Now it’s time to catch up on more reading.
