It’s 5 pm on Wednesday and I need cash. Even dull gig work pays some of the bills.
What do I do in the meantime?
- Sit down on the couch.
- Close and reopen the Dasher app, trying to refresh my request to the job gods. I implore, I’ll even accept Burger King! No response.
- Close and reopen Dasher again. Still nothing.
- Get distracted by an alert from MyChart for an overdue medical bill.
- Say to myself, Damn, I gotta work today.
- Open an Instagram message from my brother.
