Uuuuber

[Today’s run: 3.1 miles – hills]

I woke up a bit early this morning so I turned on the Uber app on the chance that I might get an early call for an airport run.

And it turned out that I did.  About 6 AM I got a call into a hotel in Columbus.  When I got there the gentleman told me he needed me to take his co-worker to the airport… in Meridian, about 90 miles south.  And the co-worker didn’t speak much English, being from Mexico.

So I did that.  The rider was a nice man and we had a little bit of conversation.  His English was much better than my Spanish.

We stopped on the way past the house to pick up my laptop in case I needed to work from a Wifi hotspot in Meridian after dropping him off. We got to the airport around 8.  But all was quiet on the work front and I came on home. I got home about 9:30 AM and jumped into my work day.

That’s by far my biggest day earnings from driving Uber.
