Tale 1... You RUINED this...
Lady order a HUGE assortment of goodies from a catalog that is popular around this time of the year. She MADE them say that the order would be there by Thanksgiving. Even had the first name of the person she talked to and how dare we not deliver it to her two days LATE. After she realized I wasn't going to respond and just kept staring at her she gave a little cough and started to turn away. Jumping when I finally said, in a bright cheery tone, "Have a good weekend!"
Tale 2... I don't understand why your late...
I deliver to college kids and most of you hear me mutter about them on WoW chat. But today....today this chick made me want to strangle her. Of course I think her room mate wanted first dibs but I digress.
Chick found out that she was going to be PAID to go to another college out of state. Well woot and congo ratz for her. And she was doing the SMART thing of changing her address a couple weeks before she was going to head home and then move there for the start of next year. I shudder to think about spring term and her plans then. Of course maybe she meant she was going to start spring term there.
So she asks me for a COA card and I hand her the little packet it comes in. First one...she screws up and put her old address as her new address. It's a common mistake, no big. Asks for a new card and I can give her another one. Looking at the old one to make sure she puts her new address in right....she does the same thing and needs a third card. On the third card with me wanting to leave since I've spent a lot of time at this address I give her a third card and try to tell her that I'll pick it up on my way back. She starts to whine that I'm trying to rush her and she screwed up again....this time on her name.
Room mate at this time comes out of the house takes the fourth COA card from her and fills it out fast and neatly. "Sign it and print your name RIGHT there." Room mate begins to whine again that I was rushing her and she doesn't know why I'm so late anyways. Roommate rolls her eyes, "Just..." Wandering back in she mumbling under her breath and I get a correctly filled out card. With her walking back inside and wondering why I was there so late today out loud. Gee think maybe people like you are why? And this girl is getting paid to go to school?
3. HA! You fell down!
It's icy out there, even with a lot of the snow is gone it's still icy out there in certain spots. I know it's icy and without my lovely boots I sometimes slip and sometimes can catch myself before I go down. Today however I slipped on the third step of six and went down on my rear with sliding down to the next step. My back and rear end are hurting right now and I don't think I'm going to move too much from this spot till tomorrow morning when it's shower time.
So I hear one of the guys laughing at how I fell and my expression from it. As his girlfriend is walking away from him and his moronic laughing she turns quickly when he lets out a strangled cry. Stupid laughing ass fell on his rear slipping on some ice. Haha...karma.
4. You only walk around all day...
Yes...I do walk around for six to eight hours five days a week. 4.5 miles not including up and down steps and up and back from the houses with fences that can't be walked through. But on those 4.5 miles+ I have 578 stops with about 800 different names to know. This isn't including the 100+ names of people who have moved within the last two years. Or the fact that some of those 100+ were just from one part of the route to another. On top of that I have to remember unflagged parcels and in what order they go in and most importantly to not forget them in the truck.
I do this in horrible weather and in great weather. At some times on heavy days I am starting a loop from the truck with 20+lbs. (We have to be able to carry up to 40 at any one time.) I am the one who puts the routes mail into order, I pull it from the case, I load the truck, and then I deliver it.
But yes...I do walk around all day. But don't you dare say that I'm not doing anything.
