So blahspaceblah., that’s the structure given to everything ever said isn’t it. A first word and space, a word and then punctuation. That is life. But trust me it's a jounrey.

Delivery 1150.

So I drive for a very large pizza company as a delivery boy, but i am not entitled to say who. I have been doing this for about 6 months. I have recently, 2 minutes ago, worked out that I must have done ABOUT 1150 deliveries in that time - which is quite a lot. I often get asked why I work as a Pizza Delivery Boy and I have several answers, most make me sound like a pretentious dick - but these are the answers that often provide me with the most amusement. My first answer is normally something along the lines of “there is nothing like just driving round a city, listening to great music like [here I will throw in some bands they will never have heard of], and as it gets dark and you’re the only one left on the road - I dunno man, it’s special”. Hahaha Another one of my often quoted reasons for doing this job is the hours “yeah man, I hardly ever sleep - I’m almost insomniac - might as well make the most of those dark hours” as I am often prone to working the night shifts, not because I would be up anyway, not because it’s easier or more fun - no its because there are less cars on the road so I can do more trips in my time and also people are a lot more generous after 3am or when they’re drunk. People have literally given me their wallets before and said things like “take what you need and a bit for yourself” and that’s when I turn back saying “oh no I couldn’t” as I slip a cheeky £5 in my pocket. It won’t end well. No but no matter what, no matter who they are, no matter what they do, young or old, guy or gal, actually that’s wrong, I wouldn’t mention this to shady looking characters, but MOST of the time I will end with “yeah, and that £10 an hour is a really useful thing for a full time student” - that’s when whatever aspirations this person had of me as some deep, troubled, but ultimately tough individual is SHATTERED by the realisation that I make more than most other students doing something so underrated. Their next thought is 100% predictable. Dick.
