The Unpredictable Life of an Uber Driver

Nowadays, most of us go to bed knowing we will wake up to a job that has become monotonous.

But not me.

I wake up to a job, never knowing what the day will bring. There is a feeling of unpredictability and a virtual sense of adventure.

It’s only been several months since I started driving Uber part-time, and I’ve already made best friends, spent hours telling my life story, and, in return, heard the life stories of others. I’ve met people from all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life.

I wish I could remember all the stories I didn’t want to forget.

Just when you thought you’d heard it all.
