Abid the Muslim becomes Abid the Terrorist

Well it finally happened. We all loved Abid the Muslim and thought he was a very nice guy. But like we always expected Abid, a driver who works with me, is indeed a terrorist.

For the longest time I was in denial. I mean sure he was known for occasional fits of rage and cursing America, but I mean what is really wrong with that. And sure he had to celebrate Ramadan by leaving work and praying toward Mecca at sunset. He really just seemed like the quirky Muslim guy with a temper. But last night he finally crossed the line.

He was going on and on about how he needed more hours (he had a legit argument, but I am saving that for a later post) and he was told to go home early because the store's labor costs were too high. Well, before he left, Abid (The Terrorist) answered the phone and took a customer's order. He "accidentally" mixed the order up in the computer, but made the pizzas the last way.

He then left to go home (is it a cave? no, but probably). We remade the pizzas because we thought they were made wrong. About the time the corrected pizzas were coming out of the oven, Abid calls up to tell us everything was right. Since the original pies were eaten already, we had to make the order a third time..... Clearly Abid is trying to screw around with our pizza and that is just UNAMERICAN!!

I am not sure what his master plan is, but I am watching him closely. I mean if he is willing to hit us at our dinner tables there is no telling what he will do.

I am also concerned about myself. It is no secret I may one day run for president (not because I want to, but because the nation will call on me in a time of desperation) and this could possibly be used against me. If my future political opponents choose to attack me for "palling around with terrorists," it could hurt my career. To all you future voters, please keep in mind I am forced to work with him and who knows there may be other future leaders working with us too. Maybe Motsi the Sing Song Guy will one day be the dean of a college, or perhaps Drew "I've got an itch" will be a US senator. Just please don't hold this against me and know I am doing everything in my power to thwart his evil plans!

God bless the USA!

Peacocks, Muslims and a little cash

Well I will say it was a pretty good weekend. I am desperately trying to get a pic of Abid the Muslim since I think he is about to be a blog favorite. I hate that I have to say this every time I mention him, but he is a really nice guy and totally not a terrorist. That being said Ramadan just began, so every day at sundown he has to take some time off of work to go pray and end his fast. This works out for me since these are usually busy times. I get at least 2 extra deliveries during this time--score one for me!!

I only got stiffed one time this weekend. It was at the Mission Ridge apartments and I could tell it was going to happen. The place wasn't well light and when the guy opened the door, I could just see it in his eyes. He had rap music blaring in the background and wasn't wearing a shirt. If he had extra money, he certainly wasn't going to give it to me. I tried to get a photo of the place, but, like I said, it was pretty dark at his place.

Anyways the guys name is Brandon Smith and he is our latest addition to the Pie of Shame:

On a more pleasant note, I saw peacocks while delivering on Sunday. Here are a couple of pics, but they didn't come out too well.

These were actually at an apartment complex off of Spring Hill Rd. If you know the area, you know there isn't any real reason for these 2 peacocks to be there. So, I was very surprised to see them just hanging out in the parking lot. I thought about throwing something at them so they would spread their feathers, but I didn't really want to scare them off. Plus, they don't seem to have those long feathers. I believe only the males have them, so these 2 may have been females. If they were looking for a mate, they were definitely in the wrong part of town.

Here are my stats from Saturday and Sunday. They were both decent days, but Sunday was great. It wasn't crazy busy, but steady and it seemed like everything I took had another run that just had to go with it. At least twice I delivered to 2 different people in one hotel on the same run. That is always good money.
