It's been a while since we've had anything of interest to report in Driver Dailies....but just let me take over driving for a few days and it all hits the fan!
Our regular driver is on vacation for a few weeks so I decided to take over the delivery duties while she is gone...that was my first mistake.
Last Saturday started out like any other, and the delivery addresses ranged far and wide throughout the metro area, as usual. My first stop was to an assisted living facility in a very scary area of the inner city, not the best place for a female to be driving a delivery vehicle alone, even in the daytime; however, I arrived without incident, locked the van and scurried into the assisted living apartment complex. I arrived on the 5th floor, exited the elevator and found the correct apartment. Knock, knock, knock...no answer. Oh great. Knock, knock, knock...finally I hear some noise from inside. The door opens and a little lady peeks out from behind the door. I smiled, explained who I was and what I was doing there and asked her to sign for the flowers. She opened the door farther but made no move to sign.
As we often do for folks in assisted living, I asked if she would like me to bring the flowers in for her. As she said yes, I entered the little apartment and she swung the door behind me and, oh my goodness, she was as naked as the day is long. I looked everywhere but at her, quickly found a flat surface to set the flowers down and scrambled out of the apartment as she was apologizing. Forget having her sign for them! Oh Lord, why me?
