You know, when I had no internet I constantly had things in my head to write about, now I'm totally blank. I guess I'm gonna have to get back into the swing of things. So if I ramble and change subjects just bare with, but then I think I rambled alot before so....
My car needs the muffler fixed. Hubby has been doing quick fixes to it, but they don't last long. Last night my muffler decided to be the loudest it has been. It was so loud that when i pasted a parked car on the side of the road i set the alarm off, it was a lovely night to say the least. I usually enjoy throwing papers because it gives me alone time. It's quit and not much traffic. I usually turn on the mp3 player, put 1 ear plug in(hey I have toleave one ear for listening for the swat teams breaking down doors or random shootings so I will know when to duck) then sing to my hearts content. I told my daughter about this and she goes OMG MOM. Cause well you know, I sing loud and well, no one else can hear the music but me, so when someone is walking their dog and I pass them by singing carly simon and james taylor while throwing papers out both sides of my car they think I'm nuts. I say screw them. It takes a crazy person to be up throwing papers at crack of butt(as Jock says) so these people can have their paper before they go to work. Which reminds me folks, If you get a paper delivered, please be nice to your paper person and tip them occasionaly. We do get up early and deliver your paper come rain, sleet, snow, cold freezing weather, every holiday, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We only get a fraction of what you pay for your paper...like umm say 8 cents a daily copy and 25 cents a sunday. We get no benefits, no mileage put in our pay. We pay for our own car insurance and gas. And at the paper I work for I get charged a dollar for every paper that a DM (district manager) has to redeliver when you call in a miss cause your sprinklers drench your driveway instead of your yard, or you want extra coupons or it went under your car cause you have upteen cars in your drive that leaves no where for us to throw your paper. Please be understanding if your paper is late, it's usually not the carriers fault. Usually it is cause the press broke down and the papers were not delivered to us until a late time. The paper I work at we have to put our papers together then roll and bag them. If it is raining then we have to double bag them so that takes longer as well. Oh and if you have sprinklers that run at night or early am (whether or not you get a paper) please make sure they do not spray out into the road. A carrier must drive with both windows down and those freaking sprinklers spray right into a car and most times hits the carrier right in the face (which pisses me of to know end) If you see a white ford escort in your neighborhood and you suddenly here a woman scream "ASSHOLE" you know it was me and I was sprayed in the face once again!
