is because if youre doing it right, you learn every night.
the biggest lesson i learned last night was patience young jedi.
patience.
at my real job we recently had reviews which made me think about
what are my weaknesses there.
so that made me think about my shortcomings on the road.
and the most obvious one is chilling while waiting for the ride to start.
maybe people dont know that we’re going crazy inside when we rush
to pick them up on a busy street or at their home
and it drives some of us a little koo koo when they see us, wave
and dilly dally on their way to the car.
or worse, never appear until you call them
and they act like youve interrupted something in their lives.
this week i had one party who called me from the In N Out line
and another from a big raging party.
i was so mad waiting and waiting. i thought, why wouldnt you call me later?
but when they finally got in the car, they were so wonderful.
the very last ride, though, tested my newfound enlightenment
it was past 2am and the dude wanted to go home but first get drive thru.
often at that hour the lines are loooooong
and if i have patience problems waiting to get a ride going
i have 99 problems waiting to get food from minimum wage workers who dgaf.
but things lucked out and it was mellow but as we were halfway there
he squeezed the drink too hard between his knees and it spilled
all over my back seat, the same one i had just gotten detailed.
in my head i was all, you cant blame him, hes drunk and you coulda said no.
and he goes, wow, almost all of it spilled on your black floor mats.
thank you Jesus.
new rule: no open food after 1am.
i did 15 rides on friday and 16 on saturday.
everyone gave me 5 stars. everyone.
