Renegade7 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Signing up to be an Uber driver. Wish I could do a more traditional part-time job, but I can't while being in the on-call rotation with primary job. This should be interesting, getting rubber floor mats in case someone throws up in my car, already leather interior. See how this looks by time summer is over, VA Beach is a resort town, so this should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I've thought about being an Uber driver. Im a good, instinctive driver. Just heard too much crazy stuff from people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will know by end of the week if I get approved. Do I need to put a black trash bag in the backseat for you? I'll let you ride on the roof for free, but you have to hold on. I'll do the explaining if we get pulled over, which is likely in a city that doesn't allow cussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a PT job, you can probably do a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Im not worried someone would try to attack me. If they tried anything while I was driving, we both die. Im just talking about weird people saying/doing weird ****. Co-worker of mine said he once dropped off this couple after the woman was giving head for like 10 minutes.

IT guy to IT guy, any ideas? Hmm, I'm not sure what companies would accommodate that kind of schedule. But if you're looking for something IT related, maybe you could go into business for yourself. I knew of a guy who was self-employed, he was basically a Network Administrator for bodyshops and service centers in the Columbia, MD area. After setting up their networks, he would come by once a week and resolve any outstanding issues and check in on things. He had five clients, and would visit them once a week for no more than 2 hours on average. Not sure how much he earned doing that but I always thought it was interesting. Maybe you could do something similar that works around your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Treats employees better. Sign up bonus, get tips, and Uber was collecting people's information without consent. I'm actually a registered lyft driver but I've never driven. Lyft also has weekly and hourly guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Ghent on weekdays, Oceanfront on Friday and Saturday night. Wild is one thing, dangerous is another. Being the drunk I used to be, I've used more cabs than I can ever begin to count. (Went almost 5 years in my mid-30s not driving, so Marta and cabs got a lotta dough.) Never threw up in one, got in some political arguments, learned a lot from a little old lady that picked me up a lot for work, and the "civil libertarian" always tried to be at the train station at XX time to get me home (we had good conversation). I guess as a service worker, I'd advise getting some regulars, good clientele, and word of mouth gets around...the good people with good friends request you. And while Uber is the name people know best, I've heard better things about Lyft, like Doc is saying...I haven't used either, so no first-hand knowledge here.

Mr. Sinister Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The crazy ranting chick I mentioned in here was an Uber driver. Also her car was a mess. Had a cluttered front seat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Oh yeah so in lyft if you rate a passenger a 1 you will never pick them up again. The lyft app will automatically ban them from you picking them up. Same if a passenger does that. Also, maybe get a camera for your car if you are paranoid.

Actually saw an infomercial late Sunday morning for some kind of hd mirror cam that you can point towards traffic, behind you, point diagonally, like if you were being pulled over by police, or use (with some automated movement trigger) to flash anyone futzing near your car. Looks appealing, but shady, going for $49.99, plus the usual malarkey. Seems like something like that should be around $300, starting price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
