The Uber Chronicles continued:
Day started slow until Donhyeong wanted an Uber to get to college. I didn’t try pronounce his name. He noticed I was listening to the cricket, then we started conversing about sport. Soccer came up in conversation, then I asked him what team he followed he said USA and South Korea, boom. Now I know where you’re from. He was studying psychology, said that sounds tough, he agreed.
Anyway after dropping off the gentleman I was driving around when I found some comedy gold waiting at the crosswalk. He was obviously listening to Eye of the Tiger. Punching his invisible assailant in the face and then the stomach, maybe the groin. I stared at this gentleman waiting for the light to change. He continued his workout across the street. Nice one dude. Keep punching the air.
Ping. Malia! My niece in Bellingham! Okay it wasn’t my niece, but she was from Utah on a mission to help Ragnar. Some kind of viking. Okay code for a cross country event. Sounded intense.
Then Uber eats at Denny’s. Beauty there’s a promotion on. Double pay for delivering food. Then ping! Two Denny’s orders. Nice one.
David ah David. The next passenger used my former employer for an archaeological assessment. He knew it was a template right off the bat and didn’t think it was worth the money he paid. I chuckled because I wasn’t employed when it happened. Not my problem. I sympathized and got tipped handsomely.
Had a lady from Houston who travels the country washing surgical equipment. What a gig! Three months of washing utensils and having your accommodation and travel paid for, just to clean things. She asked me why the USA? I said I took a wrong turn at Woollomooloo.
Ran out of Hi Chews! Had to restock my sweets.
Till tomorrow night.
