On the Job: Day 4 & 5

Yesterday was Wednesday and my second day on the job loading and unloading the industrial sized washers and dryers. Aside from stacking bar towels in groups of 50 for four hours I was able to make some pick ups and deliveries in the box truck. My boss was giving me pointers on the best way to get around the park in the box truck which makes me think I might be doing deliveries sometime this summer. That would be cool, I guess. I like driving and by having the skills to maneuver a box truck around the tight roads in the park, I'll have a great resume builder, assuming I ever want to be a box truck driver.

Because I had Thursday off I decided to head home, pick up some more groceries, and relax for a day. It was during the drive home I have confirmed long held beliefs that Ohio drivers don't actually know how to drive. Or, they are never in a rush and enjoy the simpler things in life, like driving behind semi-trucks for 45 miles on a one lane highway. Despite having dotted yellow lines for 80% of the time, meaning they can pass, Ohio drivers have no interest in making imperative passes on slower moving vehicles. If more Michigan drivers took interstate 2 in Ohio, they would have a mental breakdown- I guess that's why there is the turnpike, but who wants to pay that $2?

After getting back home and planning to relax, I got up early and walked nine holes on the golf course. So much for resting my legs and knees. I probably should have, I golfed terribly, but it was nice to sort of keep up my game before I don't have any time to play at all. After doing some grocery shopping and eating dinner, I embarked on my drive back to Cedar Point. While driving on the outskirts of Toledo I noticed something odd. People here like their drive-thrus at liquor stores. From what I can gather, it is possible to pull your car into a car wash type looking party store and get all your alcoholic beverages without leaving your car. It was the coolest, yet saddest observation I made all day. Cool because I want to open one in Detroit and make some coin, but sad because if they can make a drive-thru liquor store, they can make a drive-thru out of anything. And they have. Drive-thru Chinese restaurants. Drive-thru pizza places. Drive-thru strip clubs. It is mystifying.
