I just got approved to be a Lyft driver. This is a very good thing. It could actually changed my life.
This weekend is an event in Austin that could be lucrative for us ride-sharing folk, the ROT Rally. I want to be able to be near the busy areas as much as possible--throw myself in the deep end. But, I live about an hour away. I also desperately want to be away from my house as we have been invaded by scorpions (yes, you read that right).
Now, I could find friends to stay with, but as some of the peak hours are both very early and very late, I could be a real bother to them. It would be much easier if I could stay at a hotel this weekend. A friend has offered me a possible discounted rate at a modest chain place assuming they still have rooms when I can check in.
I am, of course, completely broke. And I need as much help as possible. I also need money for food and gas (and I am also going to be hunting for a suggested scorpion poison all over town).
Basically, I figure asking for help when you really are trying is a good thing. I will get paid for the first time on Wednesday or Thursday (not completely sure when the direct deposit is going to drop), and if I quickly learn when and where to be available, I can really make this work. It could be a much more stable, lucrative opportunity. It's really up to me.
So, if you can help, I'd appreciate it. And if you can't, spreading the word by sharing this would be great, too.
I'm so close. Really
