You aren't? Well you should be since I didn't send along wisdom the entire day until now, which is NIGHT! You see, MJ Hawkeye has taken a part time job and it began today. Now that I write this part time sounds ridiculous since I began the day at 9 AM and ten hours later her I sit.
Here's the situation. Columbus has an airport that services six major airlines. A gazillion times a day the airlines, instead of sending luggage to Columbus, inadvertently ship it off to parts unknown. When it arrives someone has to deliver it to the customer and that someone is moi.
It's a great gig. I get to drive and listen to the radio. Then I have the opportunity to meet people who can be interesting or crabby, depending how angry the are at not having their luggage on the scheduled flight. Today, I drove 289 miles; met two customers who didn't speak a lick of English and a lady who flew in from California. She was not a happy person. I tried to joke around with her, hand out compliments and apologize but to no avail. California people are just that way. Finally, I drove an hour and a half south to Portsmouth, Ohio to deliver a backpack to one of our warrior soldiers. Of course, I thanked him for his service and dropped some cash in his hand and told him to buy a pizza and some beer. It's not that noble of a thing to do. I'm a softy for all soldiers I see. Anyway, he gave me a big bear hug with tears in his eyes then sappy old me felt the tears start to well so I got the heck out of there. This is what I would call a good delivery.
Tomorrow,it's back to work------part time, of course.
