Not literally, but damn near. First week of driving in the books and I feel dumber than a rock.
I'm certainly never the smartest person in a crowded room, but I'm not the dumbest either, but a car full of cardboard has made me feel like a complete maroon. Area knowledge and sense of direction, sucks. Selecting packages, sucks and slow. If the package isn't exactly where it is supposed to be it feels like it takes an hour to find it. Started out alone today and me supervisor had to come rescue me. The guy who normally does this route usually has 90 stops completed by 1pm. I only had 25. Though there were extenuating circumstances, that is still discouraging.
I was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force and ran high level programs. Now I feel like a maroon who can't even empty a truck on my own.
I'm just venting my frustrations, I know (hope) it will get better. Next week is a new week.
