Respite
Off the road and out of the truck for a few weeks. I feel fortunate to go back to the surgery center. I also realize that most people including myself have no idea what comprises as a successful move. Traveling across from coast to coast is roughly 2300 miles give or take a few hundred. These roads are not paved smoothly and good help is challenging. I have a feeling the driver has had enough. God bless the shippers and the driver, he has been doing it for 20 years and I for only 2 seasons but it’s enough to understand that work needs to have its merits and benefits to off set the drawbacks. So I am going to start small and take sailing lessons. I shared with a patient the notion that once you are in this gypsy vagabond lifestyle it is hard to go back and stay put. I realize I am one of those people. I want to thank the driver for showing me the ropes and pointing out all the beauty that surrounds us all.
Cocktales and Spirits
Delivering household goods to a little city named Las Vegas. So I will play a little sleep a little and enjoy a cocktail or two. I’m lucky to know some of the wonderful and funny gals that serve you and I drinks. Here’s what they have shared. If someone is not so nice and doesn’t tip that’s okay they understand but every now and then they can’t let it go. Let’s say you order hot chocolate well they’ll put in the packet add hot water, not stir add whip cream and no straw. Or let’s say you have raised a glass in attempt to get a free drink. These gals know you’ve just pick up someone else glass. “I’ll have another ie: bloody mary. You’ll get a virgin one. Or the fake out. Someone will look as though they are placing a dollar in the machine but of course the screen on video poker reads 0.00$. Anything to get free etoh. “You will drink yourself sober at my station”. Or finally the Rude guy who screams not yells but screams. “Cocktails ” the gal will fast paced walk around rude guy “mouth the word cocktails” and skip over him. The eye in the sky will use play back and see she has announced but alas his back was turned indicating “No thanks”. I’ll max bet that if you are nice and courteous you’ll be served. Ziajian
