    I really liked being a pizza delivery driver pre-GPS. It did require some skill, but you learned quickly about how things work:

    • Is it a complex of some sort (e.g., trailer park, apartment, condo)? Look for a unit map.
    • Evens on one side of the street, odds on the other
    • You learn all of those weird roads that have the same name in two disconnected parts of town

    It was easily the best “shitty job” I’ve ever had.

      Thank you for your service 🫡

      The thin bread line separates not only the hungry from the fed but the men from the boys too. It has a higher casualty rate than being a police officer.

      Same. I loved the independence of it. But it didn’t pay enough to cover the repair bills it generated.
