The Mishap



After leaving the lovely Alyssa Cunningham's residence, you were a wonderful host, I drove on down to Kansas City. I started out at the excellent Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It had great open space in for a city block or so of beautiful green grass with tree lines along each of the sides. The walkways were in the shade and scattered throughout were sculptures; most prominently features William Moore a sculptor from Topeka, Kansas.

The Courier

The Courier

This job sounds pretty nice. I mean the problem I have with it is that I would rather get a couple hours in Los Angeles to go explore. I mean basically you are a truck driver who travels for 10 hours a day. The other portion is that there is no job satisfaction in this job at all.

You are delivery boy for a CEO but you have no impact in any shape or form. However, it would be an opportunity to change the CEO's mind is nice. He needs to see you at least 5 minutes a day. You can make these 5 minutes either cordial talking about the weather and last nights game or you can talk about the direction of the company.

The other issue is there is no vacation time. I mean I would imagine I'm getting all sorts of miles for a trip from New York to LA. Do I commit for 3 years and then take an awesome basically free vacation somewhere with all the airline miles?  I mean that would make for an excellent vacation to somewhere in Europe.

My diet would immediately go in a funk. Since you are taken to the office and back to the airport that means you MUST eat airport food. This food is not healthy and it definitely will not have variety. How would one subsist on fast food and not even real fast food shortened airport menu fast food. I really would need to investigate the LAX airport shops to see the diversity in food.

I would start a relationship with the flight attendants which would be nice. They always seem rushed and perturbed because they are trying to control 200+ people, but I imagine once they see you for the 5th time that week they would adjust and treat you like you understood the rules. 

Also you have 10 hours a day to do whatever you want. That is a lot of time for reading or writing. I could write the next great American novel. But you have been reading this blog that wouldn't happen. I wouldn't take the job.

The Meteor

I just want quick rundown of what a person may read here from day to day on this road trip.

First will just be personal thoughts and extended details on what I had done that day. Second will be a thorough discussion of one card of Chuck Klosterman's Hypertheticals: 50 Questions for Insane Conversations.  There will be a 200 to 500 words the question of the day. Here it is easy.

The Plan

This is where it starts. The plan. I do have a couple extra days if I find a spot that demands I stay for another night. Needless to say I am getting excited.
