Ugh... so TODAAAAY!!!! I got to run AAAAALLLLLL over the northern route for work.
And that means?
OK, I 'assist' 2 sales reps for a frozen foods company. I basically get a list of (grocerey) stores the reps don't want to go to and pull a small to HUGE ASS-CART (depending on this & that) of frozen pizza out to the floor and fill the shelves. Sounds easy, but there's more. Trust me. Not going into that though.
A couple years ago I got promoted (actually, asked for the second time to take the position and against my initial "pssh, no! fuck all that noise!" instinct, excepted) to be a sales rep on the northern route. They threw out a number like 50k. Pssh. Yeah, and good-bye LIFE! I don't really have one but I did have things I wanted to do, like school and this band thing I enjoy. Working 60+ hours a week, 7 days a week was BS. Soooo I demoted myself back down to 'merchandiser'. Now, I 'assist' these two reps on various days. mon: split between the two routes/ tues: N route/ wed: off (fuckin' eh right! i get my ass kicked! kinda.... ok, I don't actually work the whole 40 hrs a week I get paid for. tss HATE IT!) thur: N route/ fri: S route. got it?
OK, yesterday (mon), the truck making drops on the northern route broke down. No deliveries. Soooo toDAY they got a second (normally only one) truck (which, again, broke down at first but they got it going. go team) ) truck to make mondays drops.....
wow.... this was a REEEEEHEEEEE UUUUUHUUUUUHEEEEEEELLY looooonnnnnng way to say I had a long day at work.
Gimmie a break like Nel Carter yo! I'm not all here...... missing an arm and a foot and an ear and god KNOWS what internal organs are misplaced....
BUT!!! I have drum machines and softsynths to make it better! ...after they confuse me for a while.
