Back On Track

It was a different story yesterday following our game at the stadium. With over $5K taken in at our stand, we were within $50 of the goods sold for the day. When we are that close, there is no concern about any discrepancy. That is what it should be every day, so I don't know what happened on Wednesday. Actually, the discrepancy from Wednesday was never discovered as the re-count of the inventory that I made was the same as the supervisor count after I left.

We are still not going to return next year to work these games unless something changes dramatically between now and next year. Following research of the labor laws, the employer is not required to provide breaks or lunch periods for any employees. That shocked us, as we were under the impression that it was a Federal Law to provide those breaks when you worked more than 6 hours. All that the laws specify is that any break less than 20 minutes must be paid, and any break longer than 20 minutes does not need to be paid time. Good employers - those who care about their employees - find ways to provide breaks for them during the day.

We had heard about a great, new sub-shop that opened in Surprise called Jersey Mike's. We went there following the game and Josie had a delicious sub and I had an authentic Philly Cheesesteak. They were terrific, and we will go there again. After not eating anything since breakfast, it was especially tasty.

It looks like we are getting close to a return visit from our RV mobile technician. We heard from them yesterday and I will try to schedule a time this morning for them to come out and do the final repairs on our hydraulics and slideout. It will most likely be Monday or Tuesday, as they are the only days when somebody can be here while the work is performed. The slideout problem is one that he may not be able to fix at our site, and may require a trip to a dealership to have the work done. It will be done under our warranty, so we will wait and see...
