    Had a flat this morning, on one of my carts. Third time ever. I finished with the other, and spent five minutes changing it at the next stop on my 30 minute break, after a 20 minute nap ;) I got to my last stop 90 minutes early, so after that I delivered my first stop for tomorrow. And had four hours of my fourteen left on the clock when I was done.

    I hate working weekends, but it's so easy I kinda like it. And it pays well.

    And I bought a powerball ticket.

    They probably are not in the stores regular stock, but the store can order them for you from the warehouse and have them for you the next day usually. I think those are the Mini Max Quesodilla Pizza's or Mexican Pizza's either way those are common warehouse inventory items and can be ordered easily, just tell customer service at the store what you are looking for and they should pull it up there's probably quite a few different ones, but they can navigate it all.

    Just because it's not at the store doesn't mean we don't have it the store has a fraction of what GFS actually stocks, our product catalogue if you ever look at it, is about the size of the 1995 New York City Yellow Pages. So it can be ordered from the warehouse with ease.

    The stores do not sell Buffalo Burgers yet I just place an order at the store and the next day my buffalo burgers come in.

    Yes all those fine school cafeteria products are readily available. The Mexican Pizza's are numero uno and very popular. The Big Daddy's Pizza's are also extremely popular we've handled many cases of those.

    Well Monday and today were both fun one's Monday got done quickly because of Presidents day.

    Today not as quick, but not bad either. I was pretty heavy today. Anyhow I'm going to call it a day soon because tomorrow is another fun one and I've got another big day tomorrow not as big as today mind you, but big enough for me.

    Well happy today is over. I had lots to do today 687 for 17 stops with 300 freezer cube, I don't like having a freezer that's half the trailer, but oh well that's how it goes.

    Actually today went by alright got tripped up at one stop it was a stop inside a stop and I had never done that part of it before so of course that screwed the pooch a little no biggie, actually did better on time today then I thought I was going to do.

    I ended up getting back before 2:00pm which I though was alright could have been a little earlier if I didn't get so tripped up, but such is life.

    Got to do some old fashioned blind side backing today, that was fun, I've for the most part given up on the blind side backing but today I had no real choice in the matter at one of my stops. Tight parking lot, too it's funny in school you back between cones and in the real world you back between automobiles and dumpsters and buildings.

    Anyhow for the most part everything came off alright, no biggie. I'm tired Monday was light, but so far the rest of the week we've been paying for it LOL!

    Tomorrows 17,000 first stops 3K right off the rip. Worked yesterday from 1:30am till about 1:30pm then went and worked on my house. Got back from work today at kind of a bad time because of my longer day today so I have yet to go and get any work done at my house today. Oh well.

    Tell me about it! Makes me wonder if these Monday holidays are even worth it. The Wednesday AFTER the holiday are the most brutal days of the year.

    Ahhh, who am I kidding? 3 day weekends are ALWAYS worth it. Lol
