Hello loves!

It's been hard as hell to keep up with [Hobo Confessions](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@seekerjuice/hobo-confessions-1-introduceyourself-to-poverty-selling-things-illegally-travel-and-pizza), honestly. I'm not accustomed to working too hard, and I've begun an actual real day job while keeping up with my posts, earning legal taxable income. Crazy.

All while nursing my cat back to full health. He's not keen on the antibiotic pills. Thanks again for the help, Stephanie.

I work in the ware wash department, which is a marked up way of saying I'm a dishwasher. It's in the very back of the building at the fancy grocery/prepared foods store, about 3 miles from where I'm staying. Luckily I have a bike and some helpful friends.

I love it. I work with 2 old ladies in a room about the size of a trailer home. One of them is short with knees so bad they don't bend, the other is an exceptionally strong and stout woman with thick-frame glasses and short hair. They bitch incessantly to anyone who will pause to listen. Which puts me in a situation. I laugh politely and do dishes. I'm very good at doing dishes, I've had a lot of practice down here. The dish machine running drowns out their voices.

On the plus side, I'm being paid way too much, and that room is equipped to clean anything and everything. There's 6 sinks, several cases of sponges, a power washer, a wall of 5 different cleaners, in addition to the industrial garbage disposal and dish machine. My total equipment list: non-slip shoe covers, jeans, chef pants, chef shirt, plastic apron, cloth apron, beard guard, hair net, work hat, vinyl disposable gloves, and finally giant rubber dish gloves. Everything is a different color.

Saving up for that RV. After I pay a bunch of people back. Ah, the long pause between adventures. Where should I go next?

Until that time comes, I will be writing here on Steemit. I'm a little confused though. My post value and votes seem to fluctuate drastically, and has declined greatly from when I started. Could someone point me in the direction of some information on the recent Steemit update and its effects?

Much love friends.
