MontanaMatt: Well that was a pretty shit day doing the Uber. 😥 My first ride of the day paid almost $30. Of course that made me optimistic. But the next 5 hours paid about $8 an hour. 😭 And not a single dollar as a tip today. 😳 Uber picked a bad day to ask me to rate my experience as a driver for Uber. I'm sure my response will make the rounds in the break room. 😃 But.... I get to make up for that tomorrow. I have to be at the company bus yard at 6:30 a.m..... to drive about 25 miles.... jump in a bus and finish that trip. I'll drive a total of about 35 minutes... and get paid for a full day. And that bus is towing a trailer.... so it's a $500 day! 🤣 My employer strongly suggests that these artists be very careful planning their tour to avoid tomorrow's situation. But the only other option is for them to park the buses 25 miles from home base and take a 10-hour break. There isn't an artist on the planet that would do that. It's the end of a tour segment and they are looking at two weeks off and they want to get that time started as fast as possible. So with four buses.... those 25 miles will cost them $2000! 😲 But they know it up front. And they've made that decision. 🤷♂️ And if I financially benefit from that....well....cool! 😎
