It is a Monday

I just got back into my hotel room from loading up the truck after my paid weekend of doing nothing in Allentown. After pretripping and starting up the truck the Qualcomm beeped with a message, my load for today is cancelled. All I can say to that is fantastic, at least I found out in time so I haven't checked out of the hotel room yet. So now I am just waiting to find out what they come up with for me now.

Last night I had dinner at the Red Robin that is next to the hotel. I had a really good burger, fries and two ice teas. Now for anyone that has eaten with me, the two ice teas is a sign, usually I will drink almost a pitcher at a meal in a restaurant. The sign is of poor service, it is rare that i don't tip, but the service this time around just did not warrant a tip. I don't know if he was just too busy, or new, or both, but I only saw him a total of three times. Someone else greeted me, took my order, and brought me my tea. He got me one refill, brought out my food, and dropped off the check. When he dropped off the check, he didn't ask if I wanted anything else, refill on my tea, more fries, or dessert (all of which I would have liked). So I just paid the bill and left, with a large line through the tip amount. I think that this was only the third time in my life that I have done that.

Well I think I will just lay back and doze a bit while i wait for them to figure out how to get me out of here. Probably a load straight into the ice storm that is coming.
