Delivery drivers are an important part of many pizza restaurants. Just like delivery professionals for package companies, pizza delivery drivers make sure customers’ products reach them in good condition and in a timely fashion. In addition, pizza delivery drivers work long hours, usually at night, and are responsible for handling cash and making change.
Although delivery drivers for larger restaurants may focus entirely on their deliveries, employees of smaller stores may be expected to cook food between deliveries, to wash dishes, or even to clean kitchens and bathrooms.
Because pizza delivery usually doesn’t require a college education, some customers may imagine it to be an easy job. Delivery drivers, however, must have excellent navigation skills, intimate knowledge of city streets, and the ability to drive under pressure. They must also deal with upset customers when deliveries are late, and perform basic monetary calculations in a short amount of time.

Editorial interns contribute to a variety of duties in the production of magazines and journals. Although readers may assume that their favorite magazines and journals are assembled by highly-paid professionals, many such publications are staffed with large numbers of unpaid interns. Even interns who do receive pay often accept low salaries in exchange for valuable career experience.
Because larger publications are often operated by large staffs, interns with these publications may specialize in their duties; interns at smaller publications, however, may perform a variety of functions essential to their magazine's or journal's publication. Interns may correspond with writers and artists, edit materials before they are printed, and use computer software to layout the publication before it is printed. Some interns may even contribute to a publication's overall aesthetic, bargain with advertisers, or even make editorial decisions about publications.

strangely noises coming from the old library late at night. An investigation headed by the
Minneapolis Weekly discovered the noises were caused by an infestation of badgers
which were an infestation and also a few stray dogs.
Kevin and Shannon ate they’re wedding cake with such enthusiasm that they felt
sick afterward which was a sick feeling and had to lie down. When they felt better, they
vowed to eat in moderation from then on.
