I managed to get up, take a shower, do my morning stuff (mostly Duolingo) and get out the door at a reasonable hour. Go me!

For naught. Or basically for naught. It was a bad first dash. It started off with bad omens. I turned down a ride for $7.75 for 14.1 miles. Um, no. I might have done it for $10. But I said no. And then my next dash was a no tip dash, so I made $2 for 15 minutes of work. And the rest of the shift, I didn’t make much money and I drove a lot. Boo. I even got home later than I wanted because the last dash I accepted took me over to way out of Geneva. Grrr.

I got home, ate some lunch and called back a member of the GLO board who had contacted me thrice. He needed help because his printer wasn’t cooperating – wasn’t printing envelopes. I didn’t want to troubleshoot his printer, so I offered him the use of the one that GLO lent to me. That didn’t go well. I thought that his computer was already connected to that printer. I was mistaken. And we didn’t have the cable we needed to enable him to connect to it easily. Poo. I offered to take the printer and the envelopes home with me and print them out. He wanted to transfer the printable file to me on a card. I told him to just email it to me. Much simpler.

The printing went ok. I didn’t take the time to figure out how to print envelopes from the paper tray, so ended up manually feeding them all. It was only 90+ so it wasn’t too onerous. Then back I drove to SM’s house. All of which really ate up my lunch/rest period.

My second dash was diametrically opposed to the first dash. My first offer was for $20 and it didn’t really stop except for two little crappy rides before my last two decent rides. And the last two, well, what rarely happens, happened. I had a long drive for almost enough money when another offer was presented to a similar location for a decent amount of money. So the two added together were a great amount for that trip. Oh, and during the second shift I also got a cash tip because the order got to him so quickly! Rock on Char Burrito!!

Instead of heading straight home, I went to the grocery store. I had a longish list. It turned out to be an expensive shopping trip. But I have enough food to last me through the weekend at least. It will be Tacos on Friday, barring strange unforeseen circumstances.

Now I am home. I have eaten, I have done my duolingo. And now I am going to turn off my brain for a while. Maybe play in a little bit. Anything is possible.

One of my favorite shirts!
