Today, i got stuck in a ditch.
So i went on a delivery today at the end of my shift at 4:30pm. The driver, Tim, and i were headed out to the Princes Lakes area (aka the boonies, or the middle if flipping nowhere).
So we drive all the way there, go to back-in to the guys driveway and it didnt work. So I get out and Tim drives a ways down the road to a driveway and goes to back out when he somehow gets the back end jammed into the side of the ditch and his back tires get stuck in the wet and muddy grass (see the picture?). His wheels just spin when we try to get out.
We put boards and cardboard underneath the tires, but nothing was freeing the truck. So we finished the actual delivery for the people we came out to, which they were happy they finally have a refrigerator to put crap in, and called a towing company.
So now we are waiting for the tow truck to get us free, that is if he can even do it. Our truck is a doozy.
Right now, sitting in the cab of the truck writing this, in the dark (cause its 7:24pm and the suns gone down), ive never been so ready to go home and sleep, like, im dozing right now. Thats the only cool thing: its really peaceful out here. Its quiet except for the frogs and crickets making thier noises. But thats the ONLY good thing. Oh, and im getting paid overtime too.
In short, i hate this.
UPDATE:
So we waited until around 8:40pm for the tow truck to show up to tow us out of the ditch, and it took another half hour or so to actually get the monster out. We finally got back to the store right at 9:31pm, just in time to clock out with the last four people still there.
This night blew so hard i dont even want to work tomorrow. In fact, not only should i get to keep my overtime (a full 5 hours worth), but i should get to leave early friday too. Again, i cannot stress the hate i feel for today.
