Hidi Ho everyone!!!
It's been a while since I've been on here so I thought I'd get on to update everyone (like anyone cares) about what's going on with me.
Well, I've gone from being un employed sucking off the state and federal tit to gainfully employed again. I'm working as a courier for a local company. So far it's been an eye opening humbling experience! I thought most jobs were fairly similar in how they worked... follow the rules and you're golden. That's not exactly true I'm finding out. The courier profession is extremely STRESSFUL!! Especially when you're trying to learn it and at the same time be expected to not screw it up. The latter being a problem of mine, I'm the one who's convinced that I need to be able to do this job and do it perfectly. Despite the fact I've never really done this before. I mean, I've had jobs where I ran parts and delivered stuff. Those were fairly simple jobs and took me no time at all to learn them. But, this is different... not only are you picking up and dropping things off, you also have to be in constant contact with everyone on the planet it seems.
This is where it gets really hairy. Imagine trying to type on a standard cell phone while your in motion on the freeway or highway. Then trying to call a company to let them know a certain item has been picked up while at the same time trying to watch the road AND talk to your supervisor or dispatcher on another phone. This boils down to a formula for disaster. I'm surprised I haven't gotten into an accident yet, I guess St. Christopher around my neck must be doing something.
I have to say I've been with the company for about 6 weeks now. I have to wonder how much longer I'll be with them. Things just don't seem to be getting much better... I'm still fucking up, yet think I'm doing ok. The owner wants to sit down and have a talk tomorrow... Not sure if this is a good thing or something I should be weary of. I guess if I loose my job, I'll loose my job and have to start over again.
FRUSTRATION!!!!
