One night stand
I was just thinking of some of the jobs that I have done in my life. One that comes to mind is when I was when I delivered pizzas for a night. yes a night. One night only in the booming metropolis of Sydney, NS. You may ask how did I get the job of a pizza delivery driver. Well i will tell you. i was asked. The place where I got asked was at a place called Island Greek donair. I had the fortune (or misfortune) to park in front and go in and order a donair. The owner of the place asked me if I could deliver Pizzas for him. The place where the pizzas was escapes my mind but it was only a few stores away from Island Greek. Since I had nothing better to do so I said yes. Well my first and only day was a Friday night. I showed up for 6pm and thus started my evening. Well it really wasn’t a place that did a lot of delivery business. As a matter of fact I only made 4 deliveries all night. Deliver number 1 was 2 pizzas to a birthday part in Membertou. Anyone who has been there, nuff said. Actually it was not that bad except that I was delivering for a kids party and well I am not sure if the kids were drinking ginger ale or beer as there were open beer cases everywhere and you could smell alcohol. I am convinced if the cops pulled me over I might have failed the breath test. Delivery number 2 was to a place that decided that turning lights on was a luxury. and just to add insult to injury that he and his neighbors decided to boycott house numbering. Well that was an adventure going to streets I was not familiar with and find a house with no number. Thank god it wasn’t 30 minutes or free. Cheap tipper too. Delivery number 3 was an actually normal delivery. And to end my night I had to deliver 3 pizzas to a place in Westmount. I dropped my cargo of pizza off and I was on my way back to the car when I heard a rather large scream and some very loud “Fuck fuck fuck fuck” from the place I just delivered. I decided to hurry and get the hell out of there just in case there was a problem with a pizza. So at the end of the night I made 20 bucks from delivery, 30 from tips and they gave me a pizza to go. Needless to say that was my last time as a pizza delivery dude.

$30 from tips from 4 deliveries. That’s incredibly good. Also I fucking dream of Greek Island Donairs. They remain to this day one of the redeeming facets of Sydney to me.
