[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 3118263, member: 13921"] I have been a cover guy for 16 years. I covered 1 route for 3 years while the regular guy was out. If I could have bid that route I would have. For now, I am very content to remain a cover guy. I am the highest seniority cover in my building and have 1st choice on what to cover. The routes that I cover, I cover enough that everyone knows my name and if I miss a week, many will ask where I was. The thing I like the best is the variety of places that I take break. The route that I am on next week has a place that does a very tasty meatloaf sandwich. There is another place that does a nice smoked sausage sandwich. Last week, the route that I was on has a place that does soup in the Fall through Spring. The cook and I share soup recipes, last week, she made a soup that I suggested and it was very tasty (burrito soup.) In 2 weeks, I'll be on another route that has a place that also does a tasty meatloaf sandwich. Next year, a couple routes that I really like might come up for bid. I won't decide for sure if I am signing one of them until they are hanging. During June (Dairy Month), I try to do one of several routes that have co-op creameries on route, so I can have 25 cent ice cream sandwiches. When 2 routes that I really like are available on the same week, I pick based on where I want to have lunch. I am all about eating well. [/QUOTE]
