Part of Being a Sales Associate

As a foodservice equipment and supplies sales associate, I drive around Boston at least three times a week visiting customers and it never ceases to amaze me how little pedestrians care about possibly getting hit by my car.   The light is fully green, the Don't Walk sign is fully orange and not only do people walk right in front of my car, they don't even look.  And when they do, it's the look of disgust that I, the driver, even contemplated interrupting their stroll through the city.  The simple solution is to drive less but I'm carrying countless samples and catalogs in my car that I can't possibly lug around all day.  So until I start riding a Segway or videoconferencing becomes standard, I'll keep finding questionable parking spaces and shaking my head at those unruly street walkers.
