Day 10
Oh yeah it’s going to be good day. John Wick here I come! Okay it wasn’t Keanu Reeves, but by golly I was hoping. Turns out he came to pick up his brothers car, which was impounded, due to the lack of papers in order. I said it isn’t Josè is it? He said no. …
Day 9
Right, here goes. Driving on the highway looking for the show, okay customer. Was heading to the ever so fruitless airport, when ping! A man named Mohamed needed a lift back up where I came from to the BP refinery. Then I discovered an untouched goldmine of transportation potential. I picked up another two and …
Day 8 – The Golden Unicorn
This was the most intense Uber trip I have ever accomplished. Still got to drive 14 hrs home, but oh boy. I started my evening at 6PM. Then as I was driving down my street, a ping. A ping in Blaine! Near the Cost Cutters. A gentleman by the name of Marlo met me there …
Day 7
As I’m getting close to my 100th trip already here’s the latest. First chap used me twice. Second time he gave me cash in hand. Legend straight off the bat. One trip had five people wanting to venture into my five person vehicle. Mathematics is hard for people. Yes I’m the driver so that’s six …

Day 4
Guy asked me if I was a New Zealander. I said, now I’m going to kick you out. Uber blog day 4. Yes because Thursday I was busy. First lady tipped me in cash because I said how good the local breweries are and that I was gutted about Illuminati shutting down. The airport is …
Day 3
Bullshit job of the day: Energy consultant that instructs businesses on how to save money by limiting power usage. Guess what? You just need a dad going around to turning the bloody lights off. Driving Uber and being kind to whoever sits in your car is a must. It’s natural to me, but two men …
Day 2
Quote of the Morning: “can I detect an accent?” My response: “possibly!” Just calculated that I’m getting tipped 26% on 90% of my trips. That’s kinda cool. Guessing people like Aussies. Should rock up with a giant stuffed kangaroo, hat with corks and a didgeridoo. No knives though might freak people out. Ubering is hit …
