definitely?

This new dispatcher takes a bit of getting used to. I should have the job anyway but thats another story and as long as he's got it I'll play along. He's a pretty good dispatcher but there never seems to be a good 'flow' to the way he works. No rhythm. I mean man I drove for 10 hours without hardly stopping. He doesn't subscribe to what I call the "drive a while/rest a while" theory and I'm not the only one who says that. Dispatching is an art form. I'm not sure what that means but it sounds good. The money has been good but I hardly even have a chance to count it and getting home so late leaves no time for anything. Just sleeping and driving. Driving and sleeping.
For starters today I drove 'the smoker' (remember the guy with the palm tree?) home to Weymouth. Then a fare to Wollaston. Next a short $4.50 job but it all adds up.

Picked up at a hotel for the airport and partway there the dude realized that they overcharged him for the room so he got on the phone with them right away. You really have to watch yourself these days with these crooks running everything.

Pouring rain coming back from Logan. Finally got back and did 3 local runs. It all adds up.

Next a couple of Indian dudes loaded everything they own into the taxi, moving to more permanent residence in an apartment instead of a hotel. That was followed by 2 more local jobs. It all adds up.
Finished up with a nice one from Holbrook to Quincy and then an airport pick up. The guy I picked up at Logan used to use us all the time and I hadn't seen him in, I don't know, 80 years. Turns out he was able to leave work and study for 3 years for a degree in biochemistry. He works with scientists and lab mice and rats and bacteria and viruses. These scientists are such geniuses and he's at a level where he can fake that he knows what they're talking about. I suppose that's true for most of us.
