7/2/09 Construction

I had a very unique delivery today, of course this unique delivery has been going on since they started building that damn bypass. Anyway, it's to construction workers. I've never met a more chaotic, out of order, socially awkward, group like the people building the bypass here.

It never fails I take a delivery to them and I get the same few things:

1. The person who ordered just got sent in a forklift, that tops of at 5mph, to the other side of town.
2. The person who ordered is operating a jack hammer and can't hear me calling.
3. The person who ordered did not give a number and is AWOL.
4. The foreman thinks he knows where random dude is so I go with him in his truck only to find out it was a guy in a forklift on the other side of town.
5. I find the person, say my hellos, and get "mmmmpphhhmppphhhp" (random mumbling).
6. Or I get a dick head who says nothing!
7. I find the person and he talks, and talks, and talks, and talks, and dosen't tip.
8. They pre-pay for their food but want me to deliver it to them, he says "just throw the stuff in the white bucket in the back of my truck" and when I go out there I notice that ten trucks in a row have white buckets in them...
9. While going to the site I run over a screw.
10. I get crazy ass directions involving train tracks and dirt roads.

That about sums it up. Totals 6 deliveries 20 bucks
