Working Late...

 Today, I worked late.  I thought I was supposed to start at 2:45 but went in early.  Turned out it was a good thing, because I clocked in at 1:15 PM.  My actual start time.  Whoever was supposed to replace me never showed up.  So, I ended up closing at a Courtesy Clerk.  I over clocked.  I hope I won't get in to any trouble.  I'm drinking a Dr. Pepper now.  

I ended up having a good day for some reason.  My financial problems are far from over, but I am hoping to be able to save some money soon.  In the mean time I have to pay for an eye exam.  $65 dollars is the cost of an eye-exam at Wal Mart.  

After work, I bought a sandwich, a Dr. Pepper and Sour Cream and Onion Pringles.  Scott called, while I was at work.  So, once I had eaten, I called him and we talked about work.  Then, Scott shared an article from the Washington Post about Tesla's catching on fire, in people's garages.  A fire inspector suggested that it was the "thermal management system" as one of two possible causes.  I wonder what Tesla will do to prevent this from happening again?  Several different companies have recalled the battery on there electric vehicles.  Including Chevy, and Audi.  The electric cars are not more prone to fires than gas powered cars.  But the fires are more intense, and burn longer, according to the article.  Customers have been advised not to park there electric cars in a garage.  Several fires were reported including one in San Francisco CA, and one in Frisco, Texas.   What an interesting article.  Thanks Scott for sharing.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...
