Sometimes, it just happens that way.
Nov. 24th, 2008 06:14 pmI worked ten and a half hours today. It wasn't too busy, and I really didn't need to drive that far, but the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune conspired to slow me down.
In short:
Here's hoping tomorrow makes more sense, and any Conco drivers I encounter can read the freaking signs telling them to use the other gate.
In short:
- As usual for a Monday, it took forever to get me out the door. It was 0815 before I made my first drop.
- I had drops in residential areas, tight downtown areas, and places far off the freeway.
- I sat at one site for 30 minutes trying to contact someone from the customer's company. Eventually, the General Contractor offloaded me.
- Because I know my sites, I actually took lunch knowing that I'd arrive while they were on lunch anyway.
- At this site, a cement pumper tried to enter the wrong gate and blocked me (and three other drivers) in for close to half an hour
- Had to wait for an order to be finished at one vendor.
- 200 miles of driving.
