so grad school and a kid have turned out to be very expensive enterprises when combined together, especially in conjunction with financial goals that add up to more than just breaking even every month. i've got a really ambitious budget that involves putting away a substantial amount per month. and for various reasons that's simply not getting done. some of it's frivolous spending, some of it's unavoidable bills (our new insurance is absolute garbage and two quick doctors visits landed us $300 in out-of-pocket medical expenses just like that.)

 

i've been debating picking up some part-time work on the side to try to plug up some of the holes and cover expenses that keep popping up. anybody have thoughts on flexible options? i've tossed around everything from contracting with uber to seeing if i can land a gig bartending in charlotte a night or two a week when i'm down there, or getting on a lunch shift somewhere.

 

i've been slowly re-watching breaking bad too, so i'm also open to doing shady stuff.

I have taken uber many times and you'd be surprised by the people who are driving.

I was talking to the guy driving us home from the airport and he does it a couple nights a week because he son is on atraveling baseball team and needs the extra money.

 

If you want bartending...talk to roaring riot :)

2009 mini cooper clubman. slick ride, if the app lets you see what your options for car type it might work in my favor

 

The app does not but you can also get regular clients.

 

I have the choice between Uberx (reg car) UberXL (suv)and Uber Black (black car). Based on the location of the customer it gets routed to the closest car. They can accept or reject it and then it rolls over to the next closest and so on. (dont reject too many)

No one is going to want to get in the back of a mini. No offense. It may even have to be a sedan to qualify

 

quite possibly, i'll have to do the research and see. it's a clubman, not the regular, so it's got an extra foot and a half of room, which makes a massive difference in legroom and storage capacity.

 

edit: uber requires four-door cars, mine is 2… so that's out

Why is your new insurance "absolute garbage"?

 

to be honest i'm not even sure… my wife recently went to part-time at work because she's in grad school too, and it completely changed the insurance options. we pay for it monthly now instead of having it drafted from her paycheck through work. i haven't checked all the details, i just know the premiums are ungodly.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
