I was delivery driving yesterday. As I've said before, I really enjoy it. But I hate driving in winter, especially when it's hard to get my car moving through snow and over ice. Now, yesterday it really wasn't that bad out, but I sill ended up stuck in a snow bank. The best part is though I didn't drift in there or slide in there. I just drove right straight into it. Why? Because I could not for the life of me see where the road was. There was just a bright white blanket of snow over everything and it made everything look flat instead of looking like there was a giant snow bank to my right.
The last delivery I had in my car was across the street, so I decided to run it over on foot. That's true dedication for you, considering it was across a busy street and I had to trudge through a ditch. But I figured I could get it there quicker than if another driver came and picked it up from me and then drove it over there.
Some co-workers, along with the help of a nice man whom I assume works for Maple View, came and shoveled/pushed me out. It took some effort because I was on ice and my tires kept spinning. I keep thinking about going to pick up some kitty litter or something in case this happens again. Putting a shovel in my trunk would also be an excellent idea! I need to get an ice scraper too because Holly broke mine. She was using it as a shovel and it got caught under the tire.
After I got off work a couple of co-workers and I got together for game night. It was fun, and I really hope we do it again. If we play Pictionary again though I don't think Kristine and I will be allowed on the same team. We were totally in sync with each other and kicked some serious butt. I also just kept guessing stuff until I got something right. I must have guessed hula dancer about twenty different times. Over all it was a good time.
