Either the algorithm hates me or the universe does. My first dash was totally terrible. Ok, not totally, but close enough. 85 miles for $60. That is bad. And to start, I got a double whammy bad ride. $11 to Seneca Falls, from Lowes! I hate picking up at Lowes. No sense of urgency there, ever. This time I had to pick up a really heavy container of something – I’m sure it is heavier than the 25lbs we are supposed to carry. And I wounded myself (as you can see). Which is worse. And of course, no tip. I don’t understand why no one tips on a Lowes order. And I would prefer not to dash in Seneca Falls and Waterloo. So, a double whammy.
My next ride was a lot of money (but not enough for the distance) from Dunkin in Seneca Falls to Clyde NY. I don’t think I have been to Clyde more than maybe 3 times in my life. Sigh. Driving, driving, driving. I only did 6 drives – 85 miles and $60. Grrrr.
I spoke to a new to me dasher who said she had just been fired from Lowes and was now doing Door Dash. Grrr. She also said that she had not been able to do a Lowes order because the items didn’t fit in her vehicle. Weird.
During my lunch break, I played a little after eating my leftovers from last night.
I also tried to get someone to fix the problem that he created. And he was (and is) being a bit dense about it. As long as he does the work and not me, I am ok with whatever he does. But once he is finished, I will ask for a sit down, face to face chat so I can explain to him how an archived master list is supposed to work. Super sized sigh.
My awesome sister and brother-in-law put together a package of presents for me for my birthday. I haven’t opened them all yet, but the thought is what counts and is what is most appreciated.
My second dash was better in some ways than the first. A lot less driving. Also, less money. Those don’t necessarily go hand in hand. But yes, they often do. At least I made the basic, which is good enough for a Monday! I even got some reading accomplished. I need to drill through that book this weekend. I wonder where I am on my hold for Dungeon Crawler Carl. (Still at 5)
Now I am home and I am going to do some chilling. I am almost done with The Rookie. The seventh season was only half a season of regular TV. I am going to miss some of the characters – Angela Lopez especially. Or maybe it is the actress who portrayed her that I will miss. In any case, I guess I will need to pick something else to watch next. Something low stress. Hmm. Ted Lasso perhaps? No! I have already seen it at least three times.
I’ve pretty much decided that after the Wheel of Time show on Prime ends (whether it ends with this season or goes on for all 8) I will re-read all the Wheel of Time books. There is so much depth in the books that just isn’t being represented in the TV show – I am sure it’s mostly budgetary. Still, as I have said before, this is a version of the books that mostly just keeps some of the basic ideas around and not much else. I could have done better than Rafe in writing 8 seasons of 1 hour shows that did a better job telling the story. Whatever. Life is that way sometimes…
