The definition of earn enough is what? Everybody had their own
target to achieve everyday, Poolman gross $50 go back watch
football, Jiak kopi liao, so what is what?,........
Let's say day relief start at 6am, you bo idle, start at 6am
also, by the time relief need to pack up around 4 plus to change
shift, you and him if bo idle in between should be more or less on
par in gross taking, of course relief rental cheaper, but OMO can
afford to continue journey without hesitation..........
So by the time 6pm, night shift came out, you should be more or
less closer to the rental shortfall, of course cannot idle or picky
or go drink kopi wait for 6pm peak hour to kick in............
Than with a bit of more effort, your income should be better
than any relief after overhead deduction...........
Have I ever think of looking for relief last time? Never in my
mind because I can't work hand in hand with any TD, and I needed
this tools to overcome all my problem, and when all my problem is
solve, I started to look for alternative to quit
driving..........
Taxi driving is never a relax job if you in need of
money...........whether relief or OMO...........
If you are doing an office job, you cannot said that TD is a
never relax job, there are many jobs out there that is also not
relaxing, we as ship engine servicemen can tell you that TD is much
better than those 24 hrs non stop jobs like jobs in PSA, on
board servicing jobs like my partime, good money but can go mad
anytime, and many others, it all depend on your exposure.
To me TD is a physical drain job, but not a mentally stress job.
So all you can do is rest more often and do some exercise to built
up that physical fittness in it.
From a perspectives of a TD, as I drive, I take it as a relaxing
job, pick and go, call and take, sweep and stop, 10 hrs max, go for
a short run and exercise, go home, think of good food, can buy
while driving, open one stout or cheap wine, enjoy while watching
TV or surfing porn...hehehe, relax mah?
The problem with TD not able to relax and use to say TD is tough
is because the heart is not with TD, and that instead of behaving
as a simple TD, they complicated their life for nothing? Remember,
most of our problem are self created, the motive of becoming a TD
is to be simple, so be simple and enjoy lah.
