Mum was moaning about this last night reminiscing about the good old days when the act of writing actually involved writing instead of whatever the kids duct taping emotes, memes & comic sans to some predictive text via a spellcheck on the socials for points clusterfuck is going on these days.
A friend had had the gall to send a birthday card that had rather clearly been ordered online and shat out of a production line with fake handwriting…the ultimate insult.
I was one of those people :/
Me too, but with office supplies instead of pizzas. They handed me a ripped out chunk of phone book, the “map” section at the back, and let me go. It was also in the liminal period where cellphones were ubiquitous enough that most payphones had been ripped out, but a cellphone was still too expensive for me to afford, so that was fun.
Well now you know what needs to be added to your resume
I also did this job as a student, with paper maps and all (after two months I memorised all streets around us) and yes it’s on my LinkedIn resume.
I meant use the phrase in the OP pic as the job title
Thank you for your service o7
How’d you do it?
I was a mystical land pirate! But for a different sovereign.
Surely you learn an area pretty quickly. Worst case you may ask what major road something is near and you would know that and then can quickly look at the map to find the small road. Like I say my street name and if someone asks where about is that I give them the name of the major road next to it.
I did this in 2016, used a combo of paper maps and GPS for the first few weeks until I was very familiar with the layout of our delivery area. The addresses used a logical structure if you know where the roads are, so after that point I’d just think about it for a second and know just where to go.
