A Good Thing And A Bad Thing

11/18/09

I had an interview this week, at Beall's Outlet store. That's the good thing -- even though the position is only 10-15 hours a week, and he was interviewing lots of people.

The bad thing is I got kicked out of Walmart. The security guy came by just as I was leaving this morning and asked me not to sleep there. Said it was a liability issue. I didn't argue -- no point to that -- but wouldn't the same liability exist with someone who stays just one night on their way through? I was only there two or three nights a week. There goes my best overnight spot -- and they had the best light for reading in the parking lot. Now I'll have to hunt up some new spots. I was just getting comfortable hanging out in the van for hours in parking lots. Now I feel like everyone is watching me. I'm afraid I'm going to start getting hassled everywhere. It's like starting all over. I'm fighting the urge to go hide in a motel.

This evening I put the van on the road and drove. Just drove. I went out of town one direction, turned around and drove back to the other end of town. I'm tired of trying to find a place to be. I'm tired of sitting with nothing to do for hours because it gets dark before 6 pm and my light isn't very good. I don't want to do this any more.
