The Exciting Life of Pizza Delivery
Because sometimes being the cliché college kid can be fun - or at least entertaining.

When all my friends are getting pumped for their senior year of college, for graduation, and for the real life that follows, I find myself sitting on my couch and wondering how I managed to fall back to the bottom of the ladder. How three years of study, study, study can all accumulate to nothing more than three years of party, party, party and only seventeen transferable credits. How after I've dropped out of college twice, came back twice, and changed my major a grand total of three times, it's all worth jack shit when an uptight counselor looks at my grades and tells me...

"Don't you think this is a little beneath you?"


Damn straight it is, but I don't need your stuck up ass telling me so. But it spurs a spark inside me that makes me think. Maybe I should be doing more with my life than just taking part time classes. Maybe I should do more than just pretend to job hunt and actually bring out my heavy duty bow and spear a job in it's pursqueeter.

Spring semester rolls around and I've changed my major again. Starting afresh. Job hunt for real, a few misses, hardly any hits. One week into an introductory computer class that teaches me how to use the fascinating tool of the "Start Menu" and a mind melting, brain goo inducing class that's all about Socrates and exestential bullshit, I suddenly stumble across a hidden gem that had been waiting for me to sully it.

A chorus of angels echo over the phone as a man asks, "You still looking for a job?" I squee! and then remember he doesn't speak giddy schoolgirl and tell him, "Why yes sir, I am."

There's gold in them thar hills!



And it's called Pizza Delivery...

From Saturday and Sunday...
Pizzas Delivered: 27
Total to Date: 54

So this weekend was mysteriously evil.

Saturday I broke my record for most pizzas delivered in a single night. 16, baby. With tips totaling $68.92. Oh the joy in my heart. It went pretty well on that day. Started off kind of bad because I was just in a cry-y sort of mood. So there was that to contend with. But it ended well. I closed with James, my boss, and we had a nice talk about how I was doing. He said I was doing good. It's hard to only work weekends when you're first learning because you forget during the week. But he's a pretty cool guy.

Sunday was HELL day. I worked an 11 hour shift, which is an hour shorter than what I was scheduled for. The morning went slow. The afternoon was shit busy. I didn't make nearly as much in tips, but I didn't take out that many deliveries either.

But I had my first adventerous delivery on Saturday!

It was a zone 5, which means it was out in the boonies. And it was like 11:45 at night, so it was shit dark. And when I got to the house, I had to pull into a driveway that went on forever and was surrounded on either side by corn. When I finally got up to the house, the guy had left his freaking rotweilers out. I don't know if that's how you spell rotweilers, but whatever. I didn't know what to do. I just sort of sat in my car for a little bit and then I thought maybe they were friendly, so I opened the door and the damn dogs jumped on my door! Left paw prints on my freaking window. Scariest shit ever. The guy finally came out and apologized, but I didn't really care. Gave me a good scare, got heart pumping, it was cool.

And I'm still amused at the level of drunkenness that occurs as the day goes on. Drunk people just like pizza. Whenever I was drunk with friends, we always ordered Menas, and there's none of those around here, so pizza it is.

I must say that Boondock Saints has made the combination of pizza, Jack Daniels, and cigarettes awfully appetizing. Oh Boondock...

Speaking of which, I'm thinking of getting another tattoo. I'm just not sure of what. I had three in mind, one was a phoenix, one was a band around my arm, and one, the funniest one which will probably be the one I get, was Odie from Garfield. Oh God, could you imagine? That would compliment my Bacardi bat so well. Ha. Oh I can't wait until I'm an old woman and all my tattoos are saggy.

So today was interesting. The neighbor's dogs attacked my Mom this morning while I was sleeping. They didn't break skin or anything, but she's pretty bruised. It was pretty weird because my Mom gets hurt a lot...a shit ton a lot. It's come to the point where as long as she's not dying, I really don't care. I know that's cruel and insensitive, but god dammit. Every fucking day she does something clutzy or something happens.

I don't know. I've always had this thing with weakness. And I don't know if I would call my Mom weak, but I don't know if I would call her strong either.

Bah, I'm thinking too hard. My Dad's partner at work told him we should call Fieger. Sue the pants off of them. But there's no way in hell I'm suing my hot neighbor. Maybe his girlfriend, but not him. I don't want anything but a smile on his face when I see him dammit.

Note to Self

Remember to thank God for inventing Hot Pockets.

Lunch wouldn't be a meal without them.

I did absolutely jack shit today. Went out and bought some tank tops so I can wear one in class that isn't trashy. Because I am not putting on a shirt. No way in hell, not with this sunburn.

My backpack is going to be a bitch.

Oh, and I finally watched "Tombstone" today. I bought it a couple weeks ago and never watched it. I'd seen it before, but damn, that movie is awesome. Sort of bad acting on Kurt Russell's part, but Val Kilmer is a very hot dying man.

From Sunday...
Pizzas Delivered: 13
Total to Date: 27


So the weekend went awesomely. My first two real work days went pretty well. I think my boss is sick of me asking how to do things, so I'm going to try and just do them without asking next time I go in. I'm taking over a shift for someone else next Sunday so I'll be working a double. 11 to 11. That's sick, but at the same time wickedly cool because think of the tips!

There really weren't that many interesting deliveries. I had someone give me a $15 tip and then right after someone didn't give me a tip at all. Bastards. I had a bit of a scare when I went to a house that had a giant Husky sitting out on the porch. But it was friendly enough.

My total in tips for the weeked was $125. That's actually incredible. It's not normal. Saturday I had someone give me a $10 tip and on Sunday I had that $15 one, so those helped.

I'm in the money!

Then today we went out on our friend's boat. We go out on it all the time during the summer. And every time we go out, there's always an incident of some sort. Today's incendents (there were two) were firstly, the boat has two gas tanks and one of them ran out. When we tried to switch it over to the next one, it wouldn't work. So we had to pour the gas from one tank into the other, but in order to do that, we had to be in shallow water. So who do they volunteer to jump out of the boat and swim/tow the boat into shallow water? Me. Who else? I got my work out. Almost got eaten by a fish. It was fun.

Then after that, when we were heading back to the dock, we hit a cross current and because we were on a pontoon, the front end dipped into the water and seriously went so low we almost sunk. I didn't even know pontoons could sink! It was scary as hell.

But all in all, it was fun. We went swimming, cooked hotdogs, gawked at all the mansions and dreamt of living there. I think a Piston's player has a house on that lake, come to think of it.

The only bad thing about today...I got burnt to hell and back. Red as a fucking lobster. And it's a farmer's tan too because I was wearing swim shorts. I put sunscreen on my arms, but not my back. So I'll be sleeping on my stomach for a few nights I suppose. But so worth it. My red always turns to tan. Lovely.

This will be the abriged account, with the real one being posted tomorrow so I can go to bed.

Today went pretty smoothly. I only messed up once and it wasn't even that big of a deal.

It's interesting how drunker customers get as the night goes on.

And tips? $61.90. JESUS H. CHRIST. That's amazing for my first day of work. That's not including my actual pay!Holy crap...

Motherfuckin' snakes on a motherfuckin' plane!

I am so excited for this movie. Samuel L. Jackson...snakes...a plane. How can it not be life changing?
 


11.  May 26, 2006 -X3, what a disappointmentID #428692 
Posted: 5-26-2006 @ 9:17 pm EDT 

I wanted to like it. I really did. And it had it's moments but seriously...when you try to jam pack so many different wellknown plots into one movie, the viewer is kind of overwhelmed to the point of being underwhelmed.

So disappointing. I hope Pirates will be better.

Disney, you're killing me.

This song came on iTunes at the most convenient moment. I just got back from Philosophy class where we just had our first test. So I'm going to do a little before and after speculation.

Before
Inner thoughts: "Oh shit." "Holy crap." "WTF?" in all their various forms and wonderment.
Emotions: Nervous, weeping on the inside, my soul maybe crapped its pants.
Status: a strung out mess.

After
Inner thoughts: "Hell yes!" "That rocked!" "I totally pwned that test!" in all their various forms and wonderment.
Emotions: Giddy, laughing on the inside, my soul made that test clean up it's crappy pants.
Status: in a complete state of zen.


So the test went well. More than well, I totally rocked it. And that's a new feeling for me so maybe that's why I'm so happy. It was an essay/multiple choice test. 40 multiple choice and 4 essay questions. I've never took a test like that and have gotten a good grade and left feeling confident. Not even in high school.

It makes me wonder how I never noticed my memory was fucked up. I mean these pills they've got me on now, they're supposed to help with memory and concentration and hot damn have they helped. This is philosophy we're talking about! I memorize charts and concepts, something I've never been able to do before.

God that feels good. I need a cigar.
