I spent my day off mowing lawns at my mobile home park for a lot less money than it's worth. The sad part is I did 30 lawns, still have 2 to go and won't get paid until I finish. I work 2 shifts tomorrow, so I won't finish until Sunday. I felt bad for the park manager because the new owner won't let her hire anyone for more than $50, so she asked if I could do it. The lawns haven't been mowed for at least 3 weeks and the lawn mower the owner left us is not self propelled. I have at least 3 blisters on each hand, exhausted and hungry, but don't feel like cooking or going back out for food, so my only other option is to order a pizza or scrounge in the cabinets and fridge. Oh and did I mention I'd never do this lawn mowing gig ever again. It was so not worth the amount of hours I've already used on it today and the 2 hours I spent weeding yesterday. Saying no and walking away will be my only words next time. Why oh why am I so nice most of the time.
