Daily expenses = that day’s charging and tolls plus the week’s rent and tax ($491.45) split evenly at $70.21 a day. Uber’s daily screens add up to $1,831.72 and 58h 27m, $6 more than the week total of $1,825.72 and 58h 30m, so the headline uses the week total.

Between rides I’m waiting on the next call, so an hour online isn’t like a clock-in job. I’m really paid per ride, and what an hour pays depends on how many rides come in.

From waking until 2 PM I usually take two 30-minute naps (or one hour if I’m really tired), then roughly 2–5 PM (~3 hours) for naps and rest.

Food isn’t in the net, and neither is that rest time.
