It’s a typical day in Miami, but with a hurricane looming and unpredictable rides. I'm back after a short break, talking about the monotony of Uber driving and the occasional odd encounters, like being involved in what feels like an escort service just by driving around Miami. The Uber group chat is buzzing about premium and comfort rides, but it’s the same old story—low pay and the struggle to stay motivated.

I dive into some of the funny but frustrating moments like getting Uber Share rides sneakily thrown my way. There's also the usual mix of airport runs, tourists partying on a Tuesday, and a personal theory about how people don’t get Miami’s seasonal vibes. Between juggling rainstorms and avoiding pickups near police cars, I keep things rolling while dodging Miami’s infamous traffic and floods.

With the storm approaching, airport runs are getting trickier, and the chaos in the Uber lot is real. I’ll admit the rides were slow today, but hey, we grind. Maybe tomorrow, with the storm really hitting, the action will pick up. For now, I’m just staying local, running the night shift, and seeing what the storm brings next.
