LJI Three Strikes, Week 3: "Morgenmuffel"

"Nor Gloom of Night"

Three streets to go, I mutter to myself. You're almost done.

As I park the vehicle, my Fitbit buzzes at me. I presume, at this point, it's trying to submit its own resignation letter. But no, it's a text from Jamie, my boss.

Can you check on Victoria when you're done?

The new gal. Of course. They probably gave her two hours too

Over the years, I've made friends with most of my delivery people. I think it's important to have a smile to give to them, and when they understand the schedule, it's also easier on them. I'm pretty fortunate with my delivery people - they're pretty awesome.

I admire and love our delivery people. I live in the boondocks and we know each other by now. When I am home, I go out on the street when my app pings me that a parcel is arriving, so they don't have to scramble up and down the icy stone stairs....

Even the description sounds exhausting, I can only imagine how feel at the end of a day!

We have a metal storage box on a small table by our front door for delivery folks, with bottles of water and snacks (bags of chips/cookies/etc). We appreciate all the hard work! Thanks for this slice of life.

Seriously, thanks for all of your hard work - we keep drinks and snacks out for all our delivery drivers, but I know it can be a painful/thankless job at times, and the hours insane! Especially at the holidays!
