Lately I've been wasting a lot of my time doing stupid shit. i.e. working for minimum wage as a delivery driver for round table pizza. It isn't very fun and it's quite demeaning the way the round table overlords promote mindlessness and treat their workers as lower-caste people. They regard us as shifty, lazy, incompetent morons who need to be monitored constantly. A lot of the people there are nit wits, but I like most every one there except the managers. Human beings are too complex to despise all of the time, but even still, the hypocritical actions and the condescending attitude of the managers usually infuriates me. I assume that they get paid a hell of a lot more than the rest of us do, since their always spending a lot of money on worthless trash like fancy shit to make their cars look neat. I work with my friends Josh and Ted who are also pizza delivery boys. They've worked at round table for quite a bit longer than me. I never thought I'd get a job there, but I did. We spend a lot of time at round table yelling obscenities. Working there usually crushes our spirit and numbs our minds and we are reduced to soulless slivers of soap. We have CB radios in the trucks. A lot of the deliverers have fake CB radio names but I don't. I like to sing songs over the CB radio or freestyle rap. It makes truckers mad sometimes, but I don't care. Some of the other workers think there's something wrong with me, that I'm either stupid or mentally-ill, because I sing all the time. They're wrong. I sing at round table to occupy my mind and keep it from focusing on how I'm giving up my dignity for $5 an hour plus whatever petty nickels and dimes the people we deliver to see fit to throw at us. Round table has a bar with 6 kinds of beer and 3 types of cheap wine on tap. Sometimes, I'm the only one there who's old enough to serve alcoholic beverages. A few times, I've snuck myself cups of wine and gotten really drunk at work. It's pretty fun, but after a while, the smell of pizzas makes me want to vomit. It's probably not such a good idea to be drunk while your driving around delivering pizzas, so maybe I shouldn't do that anymore. Round table is a pizza franchise fairly common on the west coast. Their motto is "the last honest pizza." There are at least 5 or 6 round table restaurants in Santa Cruz county, where I live. I work at the Scott's Valley round table. Scott's Valley is a bunch of putrid, yuppie condo developments built around a couple of shopping malls. I used to avoid Scott's Valley whenever possible, but now I am familiar with every street and know most of them by name. Round table pizza doesn't call it's customers "customers." It calls them "guests."
