Wednesday usually drags, but today started with a car wash mission before hitting the road. I’m starting my day at 1:25 p.m., hoping the mid-week hustle picks up. After a quick detour dealing with forgotten laundry, I’m off.

I reflected on my Red Chair Podcast appearance, planning to invite more guests like Wily Q for more random banter. It’s tough to schedule folks who don't watch my Uber-centric channel, but it's a fun way to reconnect. One ride with a frantic Dominican girl who forgot her keys in New York had me laughing and thinking about the quirks of my own relationship.

My rides vary from short airport runs to frustrating multi-stop trips. Lyft and Uber have their quirks, with Lyft often paying better for fewer rides. Between navigating traffic, dodging $3 rides, and joking with passengers, the day is a mix of hustle and humor.

Towards the end, I ranted about Uber's annoying prompts during crucial turns, emphasizing how these little irritations could lead to accidents. As the night progressed, I juggled between Uber and Lyft, picking up rides and dealing with airport chaos. Despite the slow season, I managed to hit my $150 goal, and end up surpassing it substantially. Now, it's all about taking it easy and embracing the unpredictability of each ride.
