Uber #1

Tweet

So, in addition to my regular job I started driving with Uber last year. I thought I'd share some of the things I see/hear while I'm driving. The first couple rides yesterday (8/3) weren't very eventful. short trips taking people home from work. Then I picked up an attractive young lady that I dropped off at a tailor shop. She was wearing like a sports bra and had several tatoos. But what was interesting was that she was wearing a skirt that looked like the old MC Hammer pants. I mean I thought they were pants to begin with but they weren't. A while later I picked up a guy that was going to pick up his Mercedes that had a malfunctioning AC. It was about a 45 minute trip, through the rain, so we had some time to talk. It turns out he travels quite a bit for doing pharmaceutical production work. We talked about quite a few things but when I asked him if he thought we'd have a vaccine for the coronavirus, he told me that he didn't think it would be any time soon. He said that even when a drug is "fast tracked" it takes approximately 5 years. Did you know that? To close out my evening I picked up an attorney that practices injury law. Another interesting conversation that made his 30 minute trip go by. I hope to post more about my Uber experiences so I'll have to remember more details.
