Off The Streets
Here is another realization I came to this week… I can’t drive a cab anymore.
Oh, I mean I could, but just that I won’t. I quit my job on Monday having come to the conclusion that this is just not for me. Why? Because the car demons are out to get me.
In the year I have driven a cab I have been hit three times by careless drivers. I have been given citations, and generally screwed up my driving record for the next few years. But it was the accidents (none my fault mind you) that got my attention. I have been lucky I guess, all the collisions were minor and no one really hurt, well, no one but me. Each accident has played havoc with my back and knees and I just cannot take it any more. To be honest I am scared when the next one happens and it is not so minor, what do I do then?
So, me being the conceited person I am, I figure I will not risk additional damage to my oh so perfect physique. I would rather hang it up than risk being killed in a major accident.
While driving I did not know anyone who did not have at least one accident and tickets, this does not bode well and maybe I should have looked into this before I began driving. Well, at least it is something I can remedy.
Anyone need a PERL programmer / HTML Guru / CSS guru / Javascript expert? Have computer, will travel.
