Case of the Missing Money

Ratings plummeting!!
I say I don't care what others think of me... but when it comes to anonymous posts... turns out I do care!!
For my personal account, I have a perfect 5.0 rating on Uber. But for my work account... I started the past two trips with a woeful 4.64 - which I consider low already. And to my dismay... after arriving in Denver, I see that it dropped to 4.33!!! Unacceptable.
And I know who those drivers are too.
The one guy who arrived at San Jose... but charged me a late arrival fee because HE chose to tail the end of a long line of other drivers when I stood in the crowd of bystanders waiting for our ride.
The one guy who took forever to pick me up at SFO (albeit the night before Thanksgiving). The wait time started at 9 minutes... which ballooned to 13... and then 16. But in actuality, 16 minutes became 25 minutes!! I even texted him... "Are you still coming? Or should I get another Uber?" He didn't respond. Text me if you're stuck in traffic... I'll understand.
The one guy who supposedly is hard of hearing... at least according to the sign in the driver side headrest. But regardless of him hearing or not, my order was from my house to Terminal A - United. Of course, he took me to Terminal B... and we ended up going all the way around the airport.
All three times... I didn't lower their rating. I chose to take the high road and just let it be. But the Golden Rule doesn't seem to apply when it comes to anonymity.
And because of the 4.33 rating... I was afraid to say anything to the last driver who picked me up in a sauna. I was too afraid to say anything and mess up the chi in the car. I took my jacket off. Was sweating. And the windows started to fog up... to which... she finally opened a bit of a crack of HER window!! Turn the heat down, please!!!
Geez louise... puh-leez!!!

Denver Trip
Back to back weeks of being on the road... this time, to good ol' headquarters.
Fresno. NOLA. Thanksgiving (SF/Belmont). And now this. I kinda felt a tingly feeling in my throat on Saturday... hoping it was perhaps dehydration from drinking with Anderson. I pounded some Airborn, mango smoothie, and citrus tea. Throughout the trip... I pounded OJ and Ricola. Finally... on the trip home.. my body gave up.
It was a miserable flight home. A miserable car ride home. And when I got home... the kids banished me to my room. Too real. They didn't want to get sick!
The trip was excellent. Excellent food. Excellent company. Perfect winter weather. Got to hang out with some old and new friends. Got a lot done in terms of face to face relationships. Even had time to venture out to a Chinese restaurant for a $38/pound - 2 pound crab!! Don't think I'll do that again. Had some bison, elk, and quail. And even attended a Nuggets/Warriors game. All in all... a well scheduled and efficient trip.
But I miss the kids. Miss the family. I miss sleeping in my own bed.
First night home... I popped a couple of Nyquils and dozed off until 8AM the next day. First time sleeping through the night the entire week. Sleep - underrated.
