Wednesday. Back to work.
Although I haven’t fully recovered, I must work. After some
consideration, I decided to bring a critical item that helps me to
fight off the cold, a sweater. So my wife went search and found the
only one sweater left after we moved house, which was given by
ex-company with their logo on it. I tried to cover-up the logo as
much as possible, if not could be a who-ha in stomp if taken photo.
Here at the forum, I’m not worried, as I have no intention to show
myself. More because some siao people just like to sabotage people
by natural. And all my bad deeds are here.
Back to driving, as I’m not in a good condition to drive, I
really don’t have the mood or energy to talk much. Normally, after
pax said their destination, I would ask, “how do you like to go?”
if there is multiply options to reach there. Those regular cab pax
would name their preferred roads, those don’t too sure about the
roads would said go by the fastest way, and those first time take
cab one or youngsters would be offended, thinking that I am testing
them on their route knowledge and trying to cheat them by using the
longer route if they couldn’t name the routes well. But then, I
couldn’t blame them, because most likely they are young or not in a
good financial status, as they take cabs seldom.
And even if only one direct route to hit the destination, I
would reply for confirmation, “Holland village. Via Thomson then
Lorie.” Sometime to my surprise, they named another route to hit
their place. Unless I’m 100% I am right, I would suggested that my
route is better because bah bah bah. So, if they still insisted on
their way, I just proceed. No point creates a lousy ambiance. If I
were not 100% sure, I would just proceed with their way as I could
just be learning a new faster, or shorter route. Seldom but not
impossible.
But last night, my communication totally shut off. I just
proceed with the route I find the easiest or fastest, with minimum
stops and turns. No doubt without communication, the possibility of
a conflict increases. But I simply have no mood or energy to talk.
Maybe a good excuse would be conserving energy for my focus. If a
conflict did occur, I could argue that the pax did not mention the
way how he/she want to go in the first place, and I just proceed
with my way loh. It is one of the easiest ways to have confliction,
then complains letter. But yesterday, I would even have no energy
to argue. But lucky for me, last night no pax said, why you go this
way? So I actually have an easy night out. Faster hit my lowest $$$
target and go back rest more.
I am a rouge driver because I do things best for myself, and not
the paxs last night. And I will do it again. Not sure when.
And thanks for correcting my English. I got a D7 in my ‘O’ level
English. Bo money to tuition.
