I know that this sounds crazy, but I really believe that Waylon Jennings is actually underrated in country music history. Everybody always talks about Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard, when they’re talking about older country music. I love all of those artists, and they were fantastic. Waylon Jennings belongs in the same discussion.

I know it’s subjective, but I have Waylon as the second best country singer of all time after George Strait. The man could sing anything. He didn’t just do straight country music. He sang some songs bordering on pop country, but he added his flair to them. His rendition of “MacArthur Park” is the best vocal performance I’ve ever heard in the history of music. I’m talking about the revisited version. He performed the song the first time as a duet. The man could flat out sing, but doesn’t get the credit that he deserves I don’t think.

Edit: whenever there’s an article written or a documentary or something like that, they mainly just mention the outlaw music with Waylon. They don’t include him with George Jones, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr, or Merle. They usually include Waylon with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Waylon is known by hard-core country fans, but he’s not known by casual country fans I don’t think.

We just had a Tim Hortons open in my town, I believe it was today. I have never been there in my life. Any recommendations? How are the donuts? I’m not big on drinks, but any recommendations for bakery products I’m up for.

Edit: Why does everyone in a Tim Horton’s sub seem to hate the place lol?

2nd Edit: I tried the chocolate cake donut and The Boston Cream donut. The chocolate cake doughnut was excellent, probably the best one I’ve had in years. The Boston cream doughnut was fairly good. I had left them in the car though so the chocolate melted. That was my fault. If I would’ve ate it as soon as I got it, it would’ve been better.

I got a report tonight saying a customer didn’t get all of their food. I have no idea which customer it was, it didn’t show up when I looked at it. None of the customers contacted me, everybody tipped, and somebody tipped over. This is the second report that I’ve received. The other one was dropped off though because the customer was clearly trying to scam Uber.

Am I just supposed to open sealed bags to make sure every single item is in the bag? I really don’t understand how we can get a report for the Customer not receiving other food when all the food is sealed. Even the pizza boxes are sealed now. Plus, I think it’s ridiculous that you can’t tell who sent the report. Anybody else get reports before? I normally just do DoorDash, I rarely do Uber, but DoorDash has been trash lately. How many of these reports can you get before they deactivate you?

Saturdays are usually pretty decent for me, tonight sucks though. It’s 530 on Saturday night, and I’m barely getting any offers. This whole week has been horrible, one of the worst weeks I’ve ever had. It’s been either really slow, or just trash offers.

I think a big reason is because of this stupid rating system that DoorDash implemented. Apparently anyone can just log on now, so I’m sure my market is just overfilled with new Dashers. Plus, it’s graduation in my town this week. That always messes with my money. It’s not just DoorDash, I’m running Uber also and I’m barely getting anything. Anybody else having a horrible Saturday night?

Edit: It feels like a random Tuesday, instead of Saturday.

I feel like I’m gonna be stuck doing deliveries for the rest of my damn life. I just got rejected for a job that I was more than qualified for. I’m trying my hardest to get out of the delivery business. It’s done nothing for me other than make me go through multiple cars, have nonstop front end issues, made me depressed, constantly stressed out. It’s impossible to even survive off of this now. I’ve been doing it for about seven years, and it’s only been good for like a brief six month period.

I’m on my last leg with my vehicle now, I don’t have a way to get another vehicle. I don’t have any savings, I can’t do anything. I really hate doing this. I only do it, so I can survive. I see everybody else having normal lives, having a relationship relationships, having money to do stuff. It depresses the hell out of me because I can’t. It’s just getting worse and worse, and this gig is never going to get better. I know this isn’t the normal post, I’m just fed up and exhausted from everything though. Anybody else feel the same way?

I just got rejected for a job for a home remodeling company. I went through two interviews, one phone and one zoom interview. They both went really well, I’ve had interviews before where I knew I flubbed or didn’t do well. I felt 100% confident I was getting this job though. I exceeded all their qualifications, I had good rapport with both people I talked to. This is happened a few other times before too. It completely throws me off, because they are jobs that I have like double the experience required for. Does this happen to a lot of other people? Is the job market really that bad right now?

I had a couple interviews with this Home remodeling company. One was over the phone, and the other was a zoom interview. I really thought I was gonna get this job. Both interviews went pretty good. I’ve had interviews before that. I know I didn’t do well at, I knew I wouldn’t get the job.

I 100% thought that I would get an offer from this place. I have more than enough experience, I hit every one of their qualifications and exceed them. Is this just common theme in the marketplace now I’ve only really been searching heavy for a few months. I can’t seem to get to the final interview. I don’t know what’s causing it. I dress nice, I’m presentable, I’m polite and respectful, I feel like I’m confident. Anyone else dealing with this?

I feel like I’m on my last leg and have been for a while. The only reason I’m not homeless, as my roommate has been very graceful and has helped me out a lot. My car has caused me all kinds of issues. I was able to do a lot of work on it, on the front end. But as soon as I have the ability to do that, the bearing went out. Now I’ve got brakes and rotors upfront, the passenger axle and tire rod, and a strut that needs to be replaced. I’ve been driving on it for over a month with a damage like that. I use my car to do DoorDash, which I know is horrible. It’s the only way I’ve been able to survive though. I’ve been applying for jobs a lot, even went through a second interview the other day.

I’m just praying that my car lasts long enough for me to get a good job and to save up money to buy another car. It’s just never ending and I can’t get out of this hole. I’m tired of having to push everything back and having to try to bum money to survive. I can’t keep going on like this, it’s affected my mental health a lot. I’m constantly filled with anxiety. I can’t do anything, I can’t go anywhere or see anything. I just feel overwhelmed with a mountain of issues that I can never even begin to tackle.

Edit: Has anyone used Klarna before? I’m thinking of trying that to get a few of the car parts I need. They work with AutoZone apparently.

I went to the store to get some stuff tonight and I forgot to get pinto beans. I want to add it to what I’m making. We have a can here, but the best by date is January 2025. Would it still be safe to eat? It’s a can of low sodium pinto beans if that makes any difference.

I really don’t understand how every place is constantly slammed now. I drive around late at night until 1030 or 11 sometimes, and my town is still busy. Walmart will have 100+ cars there at 10 o’clock at night. Every restaurant is constantly overflowing with people. I was on the interstate tonight around 10:00 and there had to be thousands of cars. Every place is just slammed day and night now. This is nothing like I remember it even 10 years ago. Places used to die down around 8 o’clock or 830.

I was a server for about 8 years or so, and the restaurant would stop being busy around 8:30. There’s literally 20 times more traffic and congestion than there used to be. What is causing this? Do people just have an unlimited amount of money or something? I live in Tennessee, I don’t know if it’s like this in other areas of the country. It’s just like an on slot of people all the time here it literally takes an hour or longer to do anything now, because there’s so many people everywhere.

Edit: Rural areas are super congested too, not just the city.

This is a serious question. My brother lives off of Harding Place. I go down to visit him once or twice a month. Every time I go back on 24 to Murfreesboro, there’s some kind of roadwork being done. Is this just a never-ending thing? I don’t know if I can recall the last time I drove back through Nashville on the interstate and there wasn’t some kind of roadwork being done.

What the hell has happened tonight? I’ve been driving for seven years, I’ve never seen a night like this. Where are the orders at? I’ve literally gotten like 15 offers in 3 1/2 hours. I was able to do two Uber orders, and I made $28. I’m still $30 short of my phone bill though, that’s due tomorrow, or its cut off .I guess I’m gonna have to try to stay out till 3 o’clock in the morning to try to make the money to pay my damn phone bill. I literally have not gotten a DoorDash offer in like 35 minutes. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. I logged out and logged back in.

What is going on tonight? There’s literally no offers, usually there’s at least fast food trash. I honestly thought this would be an easy 3 to 4 hour night, it’s something like it’s gonna be like 8+ hours. to maybe make $60. I’ve driven all over my town multiple times, and there’s just nothing. I cannot understand when there’s like 300,000 people that live here. Anyone else is having the worst night ever?

I’m on a delivery now and it’s to a school, but in the note it says meet me at the ball fields. I don’t know where that’s at, I don’t go to school there. It’s ridiculous. The places that customers are able to order from. You should not be allowed to order from schools, hospitals, warehouses, anything that’s a big pain in the ass to deal with. I shouldn’t have to hunt down a customer to give them their food. You should only be able to deliver from an actual home address.

This post is not about bashing Hardee’s. I actually think they have really good burgers, and the fries are pretty decent too. Every time I drive by Hardee’s anywhere though it’s absolutely dead. We have five Hardee’s in my town. I usually never see anyone at any of them.
Occasionally, you’ll see a few vehicles there.

I’m legitimately curious how they’re staying open. Does Hardee’s basically just survive off of their breakfast now? Is it like this in other people’s areas? Maybe Hardee’s is really busy in some places. Throughout middle Tennessee, though, they are always dead.

I didn’t plan on being out tonight, but plans changed and I have to make some money. For whatever reason, Mondays are just absolutely terrible now. It’s not even worth being out. It’s slow as hell and the orders you do get are just trash. It’s like every no tipping or low tipping person decides to order food on Monday. It’s by far the worst day of the week.

I mean, seriously Sinatra released the song in 1958. It’s a simple nightclub/lounge type song. Why is 2k censoring the word booze? I also think they censor the word “bar,” if I am not mistaken. What’s the point of it?

Before anyone says anything, this isn’t me saying I’m going to end it, or anything like that. Being poor has just depressed the hell out of me, though. It’s to the point I don’t even wanna attempt to do anything. I went out today to try to do some DoorDash and it was completely dead. I didn’t make any money at all. It was just a waste of my time. I’ve been trying desperately to find a good job. I keep getting the runaround, all kinds of communication issues. I don’t know if anyone has been trying to get a job lately, but it’s damn near impossible to actually have a conversation with an employer. I actually got rejected for a job yesterday because I was supposedly too far away, even though I really wasn’t.

Life is just too hard, it should not be this difficult. I’ve got numerous issues with my car, with no way to fix them. Nobody will help me, I cannot get a loan because my credit is so bad. I’m literally one step away from being homeless or my car breaking down. Plus I still owe $7500 on it. I have somehow limped along the past three years, by the grace of God I guess. With the way this economy is though, gas prices, and everything else is through the roof, I don’t think I’m gonna survive another year or two like this.

There’s all kinds of little things I need to do, but I can’t even afford to do them. One example is having a wisdom tooth taken out. I feel like most people don’t even think about this stuff, because they just have insurance or they have a credit card and they can just handle it. I made a post on Facebook, and I got a reply from a guy I have not spoken to in many years. He was asking me why I didn’t just move. I don’t think he quite understood that I don’t have the money or the credit to move. I could go on and on, but I’m just disgusted and I am tired, and overwhelmed with everything.

Edit: I sit around in parking lots a lot just because I don’t have the money to go anywhere really and do anything. Plus, I don’t have any friends anymore. Once my finances went bad, everybody left.
