Hoping next week will be better
The joys of being a delivery driver in #STL Yep, snowpocalypse, so very fun to work in.
Hasn't been a terrible week, but it's hard to make money when you have to take two days off because of weather, and then on the third day, make $105 but wind up spending $150 to get recovered on the way to your last delivery.
Rest of the week hasn't been bad, though yesterday was interesting, had a couple near stucks where it became a matter of keep moving. That or find a way out before no forward movement becomes no movement at all, including at one point driving nearly ΒΌ mile backwards to the nearest place I could safely turn around.
By the time I get home, I'm dead, so haven't been keeping up with online stuff including doing proofreading for people. Hopefully next week'll be better, couple cold days in the forecast, but most at or above freezing, and no snow in the forecast either.
So how's your week been?

"Mechanically, the reader is pretty simple β just a wooden frame to hold the LEGO Technic wheels used as tape reels, and some rollers to guide the tape through a read head. That bit is custom-made and uses a pair of PCBs, one for LEDs and one for phototransistors. There are nine of each β eight data bits plus the index hole β and the boards are sandwiched together to guide the paper tape."
