Courier Driver Tales

Posted by Gertie on 05-Oct-2015 17:21:57

Hello, my darlings!

I hope everyone is doing splendidly, and ready for another month of fun with courier delivery tales! I know, I know, at times it may not seem the most interesting topic in the world, and after almost five years, it may seem as though everything that could possibly have been written about already has. But I know, if nothing else, you lot trust your old Aunt Gertie to keep things interesting around here, don't you? Regardless of what lengths she has to go to to achieve that goal!

Hello, darlings!

Well, here we are again, at the end of another month. They do just seem to fly by, don't they? I suppose it's because, here at Gertie's Cafe (both the real one and the one on the Internet) there's always something going on – I do like to keep myself busy!

Hello, darlings!

How's everyone doing? I hope the thought of autumn approaching already (when some of us have barely had a summer to speak of!) isn't making everyone depressed and miserable. I know, from my end, I'll be trying my best to make sure that doesn't happen to all my good delivery service friends!

Getting Started in Courier Jobs – What Age is Right?

Posted by Gertie on 05-Sep-2015 18:32:05

Hello, darlings!

I hope everyone has had a good summer! (As much as Britain allowed for summer to actually occur that is – I cannot recall a more diverse couple of months where weather was concerned!) You're probably all ready to return to your courier jobs (if you took a break) with a fresh outlook and plenty of enthusiasm!

Hello, my dears!

Well – all good things must pass, as they say, and so we come to the end of our full month dedicated to discovering the other side of a delivery service driver's life. I hope you guys had as much fun reading people's stories as I did publishing them – in fact, I enjoyed myself so much that I'd be ready to do this again at some point! So if you feel the same way, feel free to send suggestions for themed months that we might do in the future.

Before looking into the future, however, there is still some of the present left to attend to – namely, one last post for this themed month.
