subject: Self Employed Courier Jobs With A Cat! [print this page] Kids in the UK have spent countless hours vicariously living the adventures of Postman Patthat beloved cartoon character on the telly who delivers parcels with his pet cat Jess. In the city of Philadelphia, one bicycle courier is unintentionally inspiring people to take on self employed courier jobs with his one single antic: he delivers parcels with his six-month-old cat Mary Jane on his shoulder. And those who have seen him know one thing: its hard to look away and not smile at the spectacle.
Cat in Training
If self employed courier jobs normally seem like all business and not so much fun, what with delivery workers typically zooming from one point in the city to another, then that impression might change when you meet Rudi Saldia. Rudi delivers parcels throughout Philadelphia, but he stands out among his peers simply because his cat Mary Jane, or MJ, comfortably stands on his shoulder as Rudi goes about his day. Born in a closet drawer one April Fools Day morning, MJ quite early on showed an interest in snuggling in the most comfortable spot she found: Rudis shoulders. And because Rudi found it heartbreaking to pry the cat off his shoulders to make his deliveries, he decided why not bring the cat along with him? Starting cautiously at firstthey travelled one block on the first day, two blocks the next, then incrementing it as days and weeks wore onthey are now almost a familiar fixture on the citys streets.
A Surprising Delivery
Recipients of Rudys parcels are always delighted upon opening their doors and seeing what the cat has dragged inor is it the other way around. Surely, self employed courier jobs can take a cue or two from Rudihe delivers not only the usual cargo, but a warm smile as well. Regardless of age or gender (men, women and children can not not stop themselves from giving MJ an impromptu cuddle), clients become more friendly than ever, and they are able to start their day on a positive note. And for her part, MJ seems to be loving all the attentionshe laps it up when people lavish her with cat-speak and gasps of surprised joy.
Adding Value
Rudis way of adding value to his work can serve as inspiration to those who take on self employed courier jobs anywhereyou can really bike the extra mile, or in Rudis case, bring along an extra cat! Of course, that does not mean you should be compelled to up the anteif youre thinking of having your pet monkey straddle your bikes handlebars, then maybe youre missing the pointbut merely to serve with a positive attitude and a sincere desire to make other peoples day would be more than enough added value in themselves. After all, its not every day that you find a feline like MJ that takes the role of delivery companion very, very seriously.
