So after six months I finally have the opportunity to make some real money doing this paper route.. My definition of real money and someone else's may vary.. But up till now, after the cost of gas and supplies it hasn't been a great money maker although the Christmas tips were a nice boost.
Now I have two routes, both motor routes and they link up perfectly. So why am I blue? Because starting a new route no matter how advantageous is hard! I looked at the maps for a week, drove it during the day, identifying mailboxes beforehand... But until you're out there bumbling around in the dark, you really haven't learned the route. I'm at that terrible "is this ever going to get any easier? " point. I know after two weeks it will start to improve a lot.... But two more weeks of feeling like an idiot, finishing at 830 and let's not even discuss the nightmare that Sunday will be!
I've always hated being "new" to a job. When you are clueless... Lucky to know where the bathroom is and little else. Ugh!
One tiny positive... I've seen a very cool moonset... It was a pink then a deep red... Couldn't photograph it... And yesterday was also a cold cold sparkly day, if I hadn't been so exhausted it would have been an awesome day to run around taking gorgeous pictures! Here's the few I did take with my phone.
