Howdy random folks. Today at work, anything that could go wrong, did. My van was low on gas from the start, so I go to gas up. These vans have a gas filter that is perpetually clogged so you have to fill them up slowly, but the one I had today was worse than usual. I could only run the gas in at a mere trickle and I wasted 30 minutes just fueling up. Then for the first stop the scanner tried sending me in the wrong direction, which it will do at times. Fortunately I figured this out quickly and used my phone GPS instead. There is a long county road that the program has the addresses in the wrong order, so anytime I have a delivery on that road, I have to use the phone, plus the delivery stops are routed inefficiency. I had 5 deliveries on that road today. The worse thing though, was all of the sudden my driver's door wouldn't latch shut, making it unsafe to drive. I called my supervisor and she had me call a tow truck. After I did, I noticed that a piece of plastic had broke off the frame and was keeping the latch shut. I drove to my house and got a pair of pliers and fished out the plastic and that worked. I lost another 30 minutes there, but it beats a couple of hours being towed. I had several other things not go right, but those were the main ones. I'm glad my shift is over.
