Jack Hammer

The temperature outside of my house right now is a balmy 18 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 14 degrees below freezing for our non-US, non-English temperature unit using readers. It’s really cold. The ground is completely frozen. It’s January 7th. It’s as Winter as you can get.

At this very moment there is a work crew jack hammering the street in front of our house. They are jack hammering all over the street. I think it’s something to do with upgrading the gas lines or something like that. The city sent us a notice about it months ago and at the time we thought, why the hell are they going to start a project like that in January? What the hell are they thinking? Have they never been in Massachusetts in January before? Everything will be frozen.

So yeah, we’ve got that jack hammering thing going for us as we start our work day today. Oh yeah, we also have a furniture delivery truck scheduled to show up within the next three hours or so… and the road is being dug up…

Nice. Ugh.

2013 Delivery Guy Douche of the Year Nominee

I had the good fortune of being in the presence of a nominee for the 2013 Douche of the Year award in the Delivery Guy subcategory this morning. Talk about an honor!

First, he parked his delivery truck across not one, not two, not three, but SIX parking spaces! What an accomplishment, eh?

As impressive as his parking skills are, they alone are probably not enough to actually be nominated for a douche of the year award. What put him into the running was the way he unloaded his truck. Did he bring the pallets of coke products in the store? No. He dropped them in front of the entrance to the store. Where exactly? Why in yet another parking spot! That makes seven parking spots!

Let’s all give a round of applause to the delivery guy who single handed took up seven parking spots at a little gas station convenience store! He didn’t park over by the pumps where the other delivery trucks park. He didn’t bring the pallets into the store one at a time. He saw the opportunity to think outside of the box and he took it, along with seven parking spots. Three cheers, huzzah, huzzah, huzzah!
