Apparently, not all overnight shifts are as profitable as Monday night's was. To put it mildly, last night was break-even. I managed to follow that up with 8 relatively profitable hours today with my first trip to Bush (Intercontinental Airport, Houston). Among some of the other bits of "advice" I've received, I'm currently re-thinking some of the griping that other drivers do about people who work (or try to work) the airport queues exclusively.
1.) If there really is such a horrid wait (2-6 hours) to get airport trips out of Bush or Hobby, but the potential payoffs are huge, maybe that's an opportunity for me to take a "paid break" of sorts to run to the airport, get in the queue, then do some writing on the laptop before my number gets called.
2.) It might be an interesting opportunity to book some of that "personal business" I keep hearing so much about.
Maybe jump in for one wait in the queue, get a trip out of the airport (or two if there's a short trip in there), and do some of my other business during the wait. Then, I can follow that up by doing some of my regular street-cabbie work and picking up MSP trips and what not.
Ponder ponder ponder...
