Mum was moaning about this last night reminiscing about the good old days when the act of writing actually involved writing instead of whatever the kids duct taping emotes, memes & comic sans to some predictive text via a spellcheck on the socials for points clusterfuck is going on these days.

A friend had had the gall to send a birthday card that had rather clearly been ordered online and shat out of a production line with fake handwriting…the ultimate insult.

They also got into a ton of car accidents in order to make that “30 minutes or less” promise. I can understand why that didn’t last for very long.

I was a mystical land pirate! But for a different sovereign.

I did this in 2016, used a combo of paper maps and GPS for the first few weeks until I was very familiar with the layout of our delivery area. The addresses used a logical structure if you know where the roads are, so after that point I’d just think about it for a second and know just where to go.

I remember having to give your “cross streets,” i.e. the nearest intersection of major thoroughfares, so they’d know which section of the Thomas Guide to look in, especially if there were multiple streets with the same name. Then again, I’m older than Domino’s.
