Another night with the Pizzas

Well tonight went alright, all things considered. It would have been nice during the 6-8 rush, if the late day driver hadn't walked off the job in the middle of his shift! Leaving just me and Stan to cover everything! But hey, my tip count was the highest it's been so far (although my highest tip night is still held at Gino's, when i took home $83 in tips), so I can't complain too much...

On one of my first double delivery runs, two deer were keeping pace with my car on a side street, around a bend and everything, and at only about a distance of 5 feet from my passenger side door. That was an AWESOME sight to see! After that delivery, i got to the second half of that run, and a whole gaggle of children cheered when I showed up, and then gave me a very loud standing ovation when I was walking back down the driveway! Then, one of the girls, maybe about 13 or 14 asked me if my car "was mine?" I of course told her it was, and she said "That's a Pimp My Ride car, isn't it?" I got a kick outta that, and jokingly said yes, yes it is...kinda :) Then, skipping everything in the middle of the evening, on my last run, was a rare one indeed. Very rare, and I'll tell you why. First off, for the first time I can ever remember, I made all of the stop lights between Rte. 45 (aka Lake St.), and Rte. 21 (aka Milwaukee Ave), including the light at 21, and the light just south of 21, on my way to Indigo Hotel. Anybody who has ever driven that way (east or west) knows just how incredibly rare that is! I've driven that way in the middle of the night, when I was the only driver on the road, and hadn't pulled that one off until tonight, so YAY! Then I got to the hotel. On the way to the elevators, you walk kinda "through" the bar on the first floor. When I got into the elevator, I heard a woman yell "wait! hold the elevator!" So I did. It was a rather attractive 30 something woman, holding a beer. She was going up to the 6th floor, I was only going to the 5th. Anyway, she hit on me the whole way up. Another rarity for me. I never get hit on, so yay me again! Then after completing my delivery on the 5th floor, two 50 something women got in the car, and they hit on me the whole way down...that was kinda weird, but hey, no need for me to be rude, right? When I got back to the store, and shared my experience with everybody, they all told me I should buy a lottery ticket, so I did, but it seems my luck had already run out by then... Oh well...

Well now I'm home, as you might have guessed, as I am posting this here blog :) I'm gonna have a few beers, watch some crappy late night tv, and revel in the fact that I can sleep all the way through tomorrow if I want to, because I DON'T have to WORK, YAY ME!!! I won't sleep all day, but maybe til around noon, as I have to return a rented movie anyway. In any case, I'm going to stop typing now. I hope you all have/had a good night, and I love some of y'all! Peace out, and good night!

P.S. I typed all of that, and the only thing I misspelled was "passenger" (passanger, oops)

I'm proud of you for the lack of typos - good job! (I've already had to correct 4 things in my reply...) Sounds like you had a pretty good evening. Hope Sunday is nice and relaxing! And remember, QEAIWYVF which, I believe is Welsh for SMILE!
