my little corner, and some of the craziness there

I work at a truckstop, at at that truckstop I work in a business that is supposed to be a great thing for the truck driver. The product is good , But they think they hate us. They say it is the a prking space thing, I think it's just an excuse to complain.
I escaped the city of Albuquerque 2 years ago, and settled in Moriarty, a town that would not exist if there was no truck stop. Since my escape from the city, I have had to adjust in one area, I just can't just jump into the car and go wherever at the spur of the moment. Bars however, are no problem, we have one for every Church. If you like a little racy action we have the '203' toples bar and the unofficial 3rd truckstop in town.
The folks here are great, a little offbeat, but great.Almost all of them have only one response to whoever bugs them, "Im' gonna kick their ass." Wether they can or not is always another story. Moriarty is also a stopover for the transients, and anyone trying to escape trouble from the city, waiting untill parole is over so they can get back in trouble.
I am still the outside man, because I have been here 2 years the rest of them are lifers. I do have dubious company though, i am as new as the transients and parolees.

Wheres the Beef!

The truck stop where I work has been cutting hours right and left. well not too long ago they seemed puzzled that no one was taking vacation hours......hmm

The cast 

The mixed nuts I love

The folks I work with are all good folks, bit are dubious, Theres therestaraunt manager who is on probation. One of the night waitresses also on probation. One of the night cooks, also on probation.
The evening porter/fuelhand/horndog, who for some reason is not yet on probation and should be in rehab. There is the Night fuelhand/porter/housekeeper who is too far gone for rehab, too may days of wine and roses. He is the kind of person that should never be given anything more complex than a wheelbarrow.
The Maintenance man is pretty cool, he is a biker who loves rat bikes, and proudly owns one that is gauranteed never to get stolen, he is no longer on probation.And is also too far gone for rehab.
There are those who are the normal folks, those who are not on probation or needing rehab, but I have not yet met them when I do I now know that nothing will ever suprise me about anybody anymore.

Little Jimmy's Mantra. 

Im gonna kick their ass!!

Jimmy, a boistrous man that stands about 5'1" is much like the taco bell dog, a wholotta bark. Not too much bite. Her has one advantage he has managed to work out in between getting drunk and smoking pot.

He is ready to challenge anyone at the drop of a hat, and quite regularly brags about his shotgun, and how nobody is going into his house to mess with his family. Needless to say on that one I really do pity the fool who does, and then we all can visit Jimmy at county, and bring him cakes with files.

He has a soft side that he hides well behind all of his noise, and being in his early twenties has not yet felt the effects of his habits. And I pity him when he does.

Let's call in dead
