People waiting for pizzas feel are demanding and impatient. Working at Every Bloomin’ Thing, where I spent my shifts delivering flowers, listening to audio books, and massaging my co-workers, was quite enjoyable. Delivering for Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream didn’t make me happy but did provide me with free personal-pan pizzas. This was the 1990s - an era when a student could pay for an education at a state school with a couple of part-time minimum wage (plus tips) jobs.Īrmed with a major in Film Studies and a minor in English, I was sufficiently equipped for a life of menial labor.
Seth is a year younger than me but I took a year off from college in an unsuccessful attempt to save up some money delivering pizza and flowers (for two different employers).
I graduated from the University of Iowa in 1997. And a road trip, no matter how transformational to those involved, is arguably less consequential than the life and death of the Creator‘s only son. The Christian gospel was written 36 years after Jesus‘s crucifixion and there are so many inconsistencies with it (and subsequently written gospels) that the Bible’s editor included four. I have endeavored here to provide as honest an account of those days as the passage of 25 years’ time allows. Whatever the case may be, I never got around to revisiting them until now.
