August 28-29, 2023, written Tuesday night, 7:43, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. Yesterday was a struggle. I made it to Bakersfield but had no energy. I zombied through work then slept until the last possible moment before work. The new Administrator started today. It is tiring to train someone but she will make my life easier, especially with Palm Desert being vacant again. I am staying in a new hotel this week, right behind the usual one. It is nice but, my room is by the stairwell and I hear everyone going up and down stairs. That and three people randomly decided to have a 40 minute conversation in the second floor hallway right outside my door. What the hell are they thinking? Not sure why they don’t go in their room or at least down to the lobby.
