Flooding the market (Surge: None)

I hit the road after breakfast this morning thinking that, even though it's nice weather, with all the tourists in town for the Fourth of July I should be able to at least get a decent number of trips. It turns out I was terribly, terribly wrong...

In 2.5 hours and about 38 miles of total driving, I did a total of 5 trips accounting for 12.34 of those miles and about 52 minutes of time, earning a whopping $27.20. Ugh. Demoralizing.

Worst of all, while driving I got both a text and an e-mail from Uber telling me they're doubling the referral bonus for referring new drivers in Boston this weekend. Great, like we really need more drivers on the road - we're already over-saturated!

So, I gave up and came home, back to playing video games I guess.
