The Lesser Of Two Evils

I hung around the hotel until check out time this morning. I then went down to the truckstop for brunch. Shortly after eating dispatch called me.
He said that he had been running the numbers on a load to get me home. I basically had two choices. I could either take a cheap paying load that only goes within a few hundred miles of home today or hang around until Monday for a good paying one that actually goes to FL. He also said that the boss was willing to pay for the hotel room if I opted to remain until Monday.
As I had already missed being home for Thanksgiving I didn't see much point in taking a cheap paying load just to hope that they could find me something on the other end to get me the rest of the way home so I am now checked back into the hotel for the weekend.
I can't say that I am exactly thrilled to be sitting around for a few more days but at the moment it's the lesser of two evils. Well, at least I'll be well rested for the trip home next week.
