Then look for other work. If the job sux there's no reason to wait until you get fired. It's much easier to get a job while you still have a job than try to convince someone they want to hire you when you're not currently working.

Ya I better start looking this weekend. I will never find stability. Its probably because I'm such a weirdo IRL. Some people really like me and others.......

A customer gave me crap today. He wrote check wrong on purpose and I went back to get it fixed and he wrote it wrong again. I finally had to get cash from his employee

Unbelievable

In the last three years or so this route has gone through like five people and I'm the latest.

You may be too hard on yourself given that kind of turn over. Look Bonk, it is just a route job, the more you do your route the more you learn about it, the clients on it and what pitfalls to avoid. A job like that you can have under control within a year if the route isn't too large which yours might be.

Also, since I don't think that you have seen all the seasons yet, you might just be dealing with the most difficult seasons first.

Bonk, you have to make it a priority to find new work and figure out how to work it into your already hectic schedule. If the company is as crappy as you say it is, they will fire you for cause and they will fight your UI claim. You will of course, eventually win. But the operative word in that sentence is eventually.

Yes most likely. They are probably working on their case right now. This company is going to F me over and I've been giving them 110% of my time and effort. I just know it!

So do the bare minimum and use what you have left to look for other work. Pick up the local papers on Sunday. Hit Craigslist for your area. Look at the websites of companies you want to work for.

If you have a CDL, you should apply to be a bus driver. Best job I ever had was driving buses for a big university.

I am a bit weird. Kids would really tease me if I was a bus driver

You are also a bit of a pussy if you wouldn't become a bus driver because kids might tease you.


Kids like a weird bus driver. Just don't tell them you're a single virgin who lives with his cat. That sends the wrong vibe.
