Signs that you might be slightly underqualified to deliver pizza...

OK, so ignoring the fact that the pizza delivery guy couldn't find either the front desk or the big sign on the front desk that says "Please Ring Bell For Assistance" which is sitting next to the bell that one is supposed to ring for assistance...

So I'm sitting in the back office. I get a phone call. It's from somebody who says he's supposed to deliver a pizza here, but it doesn't have a room number on it.

I ask him if there's a name on the pizza.

He says no. "It just says _______-Center, 501."

"Ah, I'm betting that 501 is the room number."

"Oh, maybe. Wow. I didn't think of that."

"Are you in the lobby right now?"

"Uh, I'm not sure. I'm next to a sign that says "Food and Spirits."

"OK, I'll be right out, and I'll show you where the elevator is."

So I step out of the back office, see him in the middle of the lobby, and direct him to the elevator he is standing in front of.

I tell ya, the summer labor market is just killer in a university town.

Eris, I think you have a gift for guiding the misdirected, and you are patient. Sometimes, people don't see what is right in front of them. Enjoy your summer.

Wow, that's worse than the guy who showed up at our door at 10:45 on a Saturday night with a pizza for a different house number - despite the fact that our house number is on FOUR different surfaces out front.

Eris, you have the patience of a saint!

Wow. Tell me the name of that pizza company so I can order a pizza and tell him that it's free.
