There were some things we needed to get from the grocery store, so it being the closest one, we headed to Borrego Springs. We drove around some different areas while in town and discovered some new homes and also a few farms that were growing palm trees. This town is actually very nice and if it weren't for the super hot summers, could be a nice place to live.
I had to complete a flyer and a price list for our coffee cart, so that was accomplished. Of course, we don't get paid for the time we spend at home doing work related items. We had a short conversation with Mike, the manager, about talking to the owner about at least providing free laundry to the Workampers. Almost all parks offer that - especially remote parks like this one. The laundry here costs $3 for one load to wash and dry. Josie did laundry on Tuesday and lost $3 as a result of dryer problems. She was reimbursed by Mike though. It is frustrating for us to do work without pay, or any free benefit outside of the site. The owner needs to step up and fix that problem soon. In the meantime, we are enjoying the extra time off and visiting new areas.
Today is a scheduled work day for me. I work from 8 to 10 PM in the office. Isn't that crazy? there is no business at all during those hours so my job will basically be to go around the park and lock up all the gates and restrooms for the night, including the pool area. There may be some hours for us at the coffee cart sometime during the day as we prepare to open it for business very soon. Those are paid hours so we look forward to those. More tomorrow...
