Horrible Wednesday!
|
Horrible Wednesday! Wednesday was HORRIBLE!! I woke up late and then took too long in the shower. The drive to work was so slow! So much more traffic than usual. I was hoping to just get into my taxi and leave for the airport, I had reports that the airport was about 40 minutes, fastest in awhile. I setup my taxi the way I like it, chatted with another taxi driver for a few minutes then I started to drive away. Flap, flap, flap went my taxi. I got out to check to see what was wrong. Flat tire. Happy I was right across the street from the garage so I drove over slowly to the garage and they fixed it for me. Lucky there was only a small hole and the mechanic was able to fix it quickly. I watched him fix it! All he did was peel a piece of brown stuff off a paper and use this thing to stick it into the hole. Tire was all fixed! I was on my way again! When I got to the airport I waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes, long time. I was sent to the International Terminal and I waited for another 20 minutes or so and I picked up this guy who wanted to go to the hourly parking. I tried to talk him into walking since I would have to explain why my short was so short to the dispatchers at the airport. He didn’t care how much it costs and he had never been to our airport so he didn’t walk around looking for his friend who didn’t have money to pay to get out of the parking structure. He wasn’t sure what parking structure except it was hourly. I cannot get into the parking structures without having to pay to get out. We drove around and around to find his friends but we didn’t find them. He finally got them on the phone and found out they were at the domestic arrival terminal where the taxis sit. So we went over by where the taxi’s wait and I had to let a dispatcher know what I was doing and everything was okay. When we finally got to terminal 3 where his friends were we still had to wait for a few minutes for his friends to get to us. He paid me and left. I actually still made the short but just barely. This irritated me a lot. I do not get irritated at many things but he seemed to be wasting my time and didn’t seem to care. He was nice and understanding and I tried to be but I was happy to have him out of my taxi. I picked up 4 20 year old men from Ireland next. They were all very handsome young men here on a J1 visa looking for work for 3 months. Apparently this is the thing to do! They were in a group of 10 but rest had not arrived. I could barely understand them when they all talked together. It was interesting to hear them. Okay, so if you are in need of a few strapping young men, they are in need of a job. Never sure what people are going to smell like when they get into your taxi but tonight I picked up a nicer looking man but as soon as he got into my taxi he smelled like he had crapped his pants. So gross! Happy I was driving with my windows open and his ride was short. Tonight was the night of craziness and I don’t know why! I saw a lady with her top off no bra on, flinging her top above her head and running down the street with a guy behind her. Not sure what was going on but she looked happy and so did he. Crazy what you see in this town! Seen many, many prostitutes in the city both she/male and female but I have only ever seen them standing around or walking down the street but tonight I actually saw a man motion to a female across the street and she “ran” in her 6 inch high heels to the passenger side of his car and got in. Was it a john or was it her ? I don’t know. Derecho and izquierda are two words in Spanish I need to learn. They mean right and left. Maybe I will make cards that have those two words so I can not only learn them but ask if it is right or left to those who speak Spanish. I pick up a lot of Spanish speaking people in the city! There was a small box truck that must have been converted to a home. Just inside the roll up door there was couple of nice windows and a small door. Lights were in the windows with pretty curtains and plants outside of the front of it (not on the ground but on the box truck). It is hard to explain but it looked cool! I bet they are able to drive wherever they want to. I was never more happy to have my shift come to an end. It was a night of craziness! I just have to say today is a new day and a very bright day. Thank you again for reading my blog and I love you!  Thank you very much for reading my blog!  I love you very much!  |
