Back to Pizza Delivery

I started delivering pizza about a month and a half ago because it was something I had done before, finding houses is easy and I enjoy driving around in my car listening to music (Who doesn’t???). I had applied at a couple black jack stores before getting hired at Pappa John’s.

The people working Pizza Delivery jobs are interesting. One guy has worked as a courier all his life and wasn’t making great money as a courier so he is delivering pizza. One guy is from Mongolia and works another job while coaching basketball. One of the managers is a musician who is trying to get his music career off the ground. One gal and her husband deliver for Pappa John’s and another guy is delivering while working towards his paralegal certification.

After working mostly with women at the university it is a breath of fresh air to work mostly with men at a delivery job. I enjoy their camaraderie and the laid back atmosphere which isn’t politically correct and informal. Most everyone on the planet is aware that I am not the office type but it is another thing to be outside of an office environment and enjoy it. Working Pizza delivery has confirmed my belief that I value being in an informal environment working with people.

I have been kicking around ideas of jobs that would support those values: being a limo driver, a bar tender, working in retail, hospitality business, or a different customer service type job. I have checked out ads for a few and talked to a couple people in some of these occupations. I have thinking about trying something new & different, but definitely no full time Pizza delivery!
