Such a slog. So many short trips and not enough trips. I was spoilt yesterday with so many long journeys around Whatcom County. First ping was Mary. She was an Uber Eats customer. Had to get her food from the mall. She wanted Thai food. Full of peanut sauce. Luckily I can handle the smell …

The 19th Day. Day 19.
The day that I met another Aussie. In fact I met him at the end of my day. First passenger was Nate. Him and his wife had to go Lynden to a storage facility. My gosh. Lynden is deep. It’s out there. Unfortunately the Uber app glitched and still doesn’t know where road closures are. …
Dayteen ok Day 18
The day started with me washing and vacuuming my car for my new passengers. Cars get so filthy don’t they? I mean hair, dog fur, chips, dirt, dust, and Hi Chew wrappers. It builds up exponentially! First customer was Amber she being dropped off to get a NEEEEW CAAAAR! Yep an Chevvy SUV. I was …
Day 17
Last night. Was extremely fruitful Fridays. I had gotten way more than I had ever in Uber. Started off slow and then it turned into a boulder tumbling, full of money. The app failed to work because for some reason the app decided to update itself with a different logo. I had to add my …

Day 13

Fine by me because I wanted to start my evening. Nothing too quirky about her at her.Then there was Stan. Stan Bennett apparently a …
Day 12
Ze Uber Chronicles Continued: The evening started with me giving out cards to certain isolated bars and BP. Both were extremely grateful because taxis appeared to be the bain of their existence. Almost like they despised their outdated trashy ugly vehicles with the expensive nature of them. Derelict automobile purgatory with signage from another era. …
