Happy night

Happy night Today didn’t really start great for me. After taking my to the park, she threw up several times during the morning and wasn’t acting herself. Happy after she took a long nap she was better, eating and acting like normal. I don’t think she ate anything at the park, I tend to watch her very closely especially since there was another dog. She does well with other dogs but I like to know she is safe and happy at all times. After getting home I was able to sleep, which is a great thing since I didn’t sleep good the night before. I am struggling with sleep right now. I sleep great during the day but not so much at night. Working nights is really messing with my sleep patterns. The airport tonight was moving! Not real fast but much faster than it had before. I was able to get a good ride into the city and make it back to the airport to get another great ride into the city. After then I seemed to have someone in my taxi about every 20-30 minutes. That is slow and steady for a Tuesday night. I did talk to a waitress about what was happening in the city. We shared views about the cost of living in the city. We both agreed you have to work way to hard to be able to afford to live in the city. She thought you have to have an amazing paying job to really be able to afford and to enjoy the city the way it can and should be enjoyed. I think those people that make enough to afford to live in the city and maybe enjoy the city do not actually go out as much as they had before since the cost of living in SF is outrageous. I do think people still go out but not like they did, maybe 2-5 years ago. Now they pick and choose what days they go out instead of going out every night. On Friday night I picked up this young man on Mission and 17th St and he wanted to go to 24th St and Bryant. I turned right onto 18th so I could turn to the left on Valencia since you can no longer make a left turn off of Mission St. He wasn’t happy about me not being able to make that left but seemed to understand. I asked him how his night went and he said he just got off of work then went for a few drinks with friends. I asked him what kind of work he did, he said he was a chef for the bourgeoisie. He then said he didn’t carry cash because normal people no longer have too (I thought that was a bourgeoisie statement). He only takes Uber because the taxi business was gone because they suck. I said, you are in a taxi (I thought you are very bourgeoisie). He said, I really meant to get into an Uber because that is the best way around the city. I said, you flagged a taxi (I again thought you are very bourgeoisie). He said, well, you were there when I needed to get food. He asked me why I didn’t drive for Uber since the taxi is almost gone. I told him I much prefer the options that driving a taxi gives me as well as i am making more money than an Uber driver does. I didn’t argue or make a big deal about his attitude but I really did want to toss him out of my taxi. He ended up giving me a $5.00 tip. Guess he didn’t really mind slumming in a taxi plus maybe I changed his mind about taking a taxi next time. Happy my next ride was an awesome guy who gave me free tickets to see the USS Pampanito. He said he was helping to restore this amazing submarine. I am always excited to meet people who have cool jobs in the city. I guess I never thought that the submarine still needed work. I figured it was restored once and that was it, little did I know something is always getting broken on the sub. Tourist do not always stay where they are supposed to stay. Sad, we need to keep our National Treasures safe. Often in the past I have heard how much of an awesome driver I am. I hate to brag (I also hate it when people say that!! Sorry!) but I have often received 100%+ for a tip. That means that I not only do my job the way I should, letting them tell me the way they would like to go, talking to them about many topics, letting them know about all the cool things to do in the city and just being plain friendly. I love almost every passenger that sits in my taxi. It is time for bed for me. It is getting late and tomorrow is another long and exciting day for me! Plus my kitty Loki is purring and walking all over my keyboard making it hard to type. Haha! Love her! Thank you very much for reading my blog! It makes me feel so great knowing others enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them! Thank you very much for reading my blog!  I love you very much!  |

You certainly seem to know your way around.  I'm not good if I'm driving somewhere and I don't know 'the roads'.
