Phew!

I believe today has got to be the worst day of work that I've had, besides the first few days that I was working almost ten-hour shifts. There is nothing wrong with working overtime, especially when you get paid even more. I'm looking forward to getting small loads of work today; because by statistics, Wednesday is supposely the slowest day of the week. With my luck, I'm most likely going to be given ten-plus deliveries. DAMN! I receive thirteen frickin' orders for the morning shift. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING! My first Wednesday shift, and I get bombarded with the unfortunate. The afternoon is worse, yet crazy. By far, Jeremy and I get stuck with sixteen orders, meaning, we may miss the first minutes of Smallville. (And I do, all 33 minutes of it) Anyway, I was given five of sixteen to deliver separate from Jeremy, and I finish all of them within an hour, which I can't believe myself because before I was pacing at one and a half per hour. (no need for thanks) I call up my co-worker and tell him that we can start working together because the next seven orders are a complete leg tearing, stair climbing, terrible terrible work for us to do alone. I just added more customers to my Hate list. Before there was the Steiner lady, now there's the SCOTT lady. She orders 25 or more jugs of water, 10 six packs of bottles of water, and to top it off, 1 roll of toilet paper. Eh! In other words, pick up five bricks and prepare for misery of four sets of stairs that destroy the humanity of us, your (S) Delivery Persons. With a total of seven-six stairs multiplied by four trips, up and down, that comes to six hundred and eight stairs for ONE PERSON! Not to mention one more trip because we really didn't feel like giving her frozen and chilled items, but no, she complained and we brought them over. Ok! Now comes the crazy part, I'm sitting passenger seat while Jeremy is driving. This guy comes inches away from the cars in front of him at a stop light, drives 55mph in a residential, and swerves around people trying to turn left or right. The best I can do is just sit back and enjoy the roller coaster ride. (that what it seemed like)
Ok now, I total of about 25 miles per day of driving on an average day of work. That includes driving up hills of Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Marina, Embarcadero, going down Columbus, Chinatown, Tenderloin, Pacific Heights, Coit Tower...
And now I'm home, resting my legs, my arms, my back, my neck, and my feet, awaiting for my Off-stage Princess to appear at my door step.
It's October, PILIPINO HERITAGE MONTH. Yeah whatever. We should celebrate our pride, heritage, and well-being everyday. Instead, it's American and Worldly lifestyle that we walk in. We are clones and robots that live in social and political garbage. Only America where a World Wrestler, an Action Moviestar, plus 134 other candidates will strive to become Governor of a multi-diverse state. Shoot! "Ronald Reagan, the Actor" (Back to the Future), has become the President of the United States. I'm voting. THREE No's and Bustamonte. I think this whole recall situation is BS. Davis could be doing something for this state than try to promote himself for the position that he was legally voted in for. It's not his fault he's in such a bad situation with the state, we're the one's that voted him in. I really don't know.
Note: Barrelmen go down...and we like it!
