strange...
I wanted out... Now I want back in...
the Bike Life does not generate enough money to sustain
well...
maybe I do not have the energy and intensity to put in the long hours to make it sustainable
there is no way I plan to do 10+ hours a day of delivery work five days a week
that would be exhausting
the hustle is not what it once was
"back in the day"
the harder working messenger made more money
not so much now
food delivery has too many variables
long wait times with no reward at pick up
city block size walks inside apartment buildings to drop food off at the front door
these things bring down the chance for a decent hourly
too much time on each delivery
not enough compensation for the long waits and the long walks
if it were just the measure of pick up and drop
more deliveries could be made
seasoned delivery folks may be better at "cherry picking" the "good jobs"
maybe eliminating Chick Filet and Shake Shake from the list of accepted jobs
as they often have absurd wait times
flower delivery for Urban Stems is more dependable
but
I am an infrequent substitute
not frequent enough
I do enjoy the format of Urban Stems
leaving out with ALL with a front basket full of JOBS
then a massive loop of drop offs
ideally doing two loops in a day
the miles can add up
the pay is superior to the food delivery
it is sort of the elite bike delivery job in DC at the moment
trying to sort this out
applying for jobs
getting some rejections
mainly getting ghosted
trying
I will settle for less...
currently applying for basic IT Jobs
I have 2 decades of experience
and
I am being overlooked by jobs asking or 3-5 years experience
AGEISM?
BEARDISM?
the reality
I have NEVER gotten a job without some sort of "in"
knowing someone on the "inside"
I need to get an Interview where I am seriously considered
wish me luck...
send me job leads
give me that IN
