Well, let me start off by saying.. Fuck DUIS. It's raining and cold outside and my bike tires are completely flat... I have to bike about 4 miles to work and it cost 8 dollars a taxi ride.... Takin a taxi there and walking back.... Damn I need a moped.
That sucks man. It's not like you can just not work, but taking a taxi there sometimes seems like it defeats the purpose because they're so expensive. 8$ isn't a lot but it definitely makes work seem a lot less appealing. Can't catch a ride to/from work with a co worker? Maybe rack up some OT and get off with an employee who gets off a little later...
Yeah man =) I'm sure if you see someone getting off a little later they wouldnt mind driving 4 miles, you could get an extra hour or two in at work. You could throw them a few bucks so they'll be happy and offer to do it again, and make out a little extra $ in the end. It's also cheaper than a taxi. I dunno, turn a bad situation into a good one =D
