This morning started with an early trip up to San Francisco airport. It is always nice to have the day start with a big money run. That way no matter what the rest of the day sends my way, at least I'll have gas money. My eyes were feeling heavy and I won't drive if I'm even a little sleepy, so I pointed the cab toward home.
The taxi dispatcher was having it out with one of the drivers. It seems that the driver was on a 6:30am time call. Because it was then all of 6:34am, and the fare was not yet out, the driver was threatening to leave. One of the other drivers let his disapproval known by keying his mic and we were all treated to Fleetwood Mac just as I was near eBay. Did you see R2-D2 in the video?
The rumor going around the cab yard is that soon all the taxi radios will be changed out - the dispatcher will then know when any driver pushes the mic button. Yeah, take away all the fun. I'm going to sleep.
I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?
