I was already to commit to my New Years Resolution and press on. but Covid Happened.
What do I even commit to this coming few weeks ahead on the next NYE?
it will probably be around a few more years if they learn the vaccine people got died from Covid19 months later. back to the covid drawing board.
at this point its "at your own risk" of going out. but someone will always say "but you'll kill someone else"

new years resolutions are fake and gay. if you want to make a change to your life or situation, you need to be serious enough about it for it not to hinge on a gimmick.
why do you drive for uber? it doesn't make sense to expect stability from a company that was explicitly designed to destroy the stability of the industry. do you have any other skills you could leverage? even if it's just construction or something. have you considered moving out of state?

this is what confuses me, here you say you're making good money off it, but in other threads you talk about not getting any rides and having to live out of your car. which is it?

that's what I mean, you can't expect it to be stable work - if that's what you need you should look somewhere else. Uber literally got popular because it undercut the taxi industry; where the taxi drivers had stable 'careers' Uber chopped up their workload and sold it off to freelancers who were able to undercut because they have no long-term expectations.

and the other is covid. so you're saying go out and get a Job. To do what? bust my ass moving furniture? I might as well work in a Amazon warehouse or drive for them. and I might. but I feel when things get back to norm I will be doing Uber more efficiently.
I'm just trying to be realistic - I'm saying you should consider other options. I don't know what kind of debts or ongoing costs you have or what would be best for you, only that what you're doing now does not sound like it's working. Maybe if you learn a programming language or tech writing skill or something you can freelance when Uber's quiet.

and I had other issues as well. separation, gigi on my ass about shit I never had before because we're being together too much. I need to leave and get some me time sitting in my car on MiFi watching movies on my laptop or phone. come back she's in a much better mood.
What do you do for a living?
I don't know what to tell you about your personal life.
I'm working as a general IT tech at the moment, worked in both dev and sys/network admin roles in the past
