Finally! I am done with knocking on (new) doors for the summer. I still have a week or more of this Southwestern thing left, but I don't have to approach anymore strangers next week, and after next Thursday or Friday I won't have to deal with (m)any more customers either.
I would really, really like to get done with all of this delivery stuff by Thursday night so I could drive up to Nashville with Andrew and his brothers, check out Friday and be back in Florida by Saturday. That would be AWESOME!
If that doesn't happen then I won't be home until Tuesday or Wednesday, because I'll have to wait until Monday to check out and I'll have to deal with lines of people who are also wanting to check out at the same time.
In my delivery schedule I have everyone fit into four days of delivering. I don't know how realistic that is, but I will soon see. For the better part of this summer I have been asking people when they'd be home during the first week of school. The people in my org declared this quite foolish, and it may have been, but we'll see about that too.
I am almost done with my weekly, and it says that I have 195 customers as of now. I know that ten families have canceled their orders, so that brings me to 185 customers. I wanted to hit 200 customers, and it might still happen, but it seems unlikely. Luckily, the people I'll be talking to this next week will all be people who asked me to come back and check on them in August. That should help a little -- I'd think.
Well, as you might be able to tell by my writing, I am dead tired. I need to get to bed ASAP because I have delivery school tomorrow, and I need to get there ontime, which is 9AM. Also, I might be driving Karen's van, which is not something I am used to doing -- so add some time due to that too.
