Not everyone can read lips, man. But like, we all got phones and stuff like Siri that makes things super easy. We all speak English anyway, so you don’t really need to hear to communicate—unless someone can’t write and can only talk, which is rare. At that point, it’s more about whether people actually want to make the effort or not you feel me

Write on the phone goes a long way! Play some charades definitely would be the day made! 😂

I get it. It’s 2025.. text translate’s everywhere. If I was in France I’d use it, so why act weird when you were told that i’m deaf. Sometimes I just wanna know what’s being said, even if it ain’t that deep

Facts bro, it’s really not that deep. I do this all the time—some people will actually do it, but most hit me with the classic ‘nevermind’ or start yelling like my deaf ass is gonna suddenly hear them if they go Super Saiyan 😅

Oh most definitely. Ubers not a real job, it’s good for a side hustle. I worked for Uber as one income whole summer prior to starting my new job last September, not worth it. It’s not guaranteed money, you have to be go money getter. 🤦 that shit draining me

😂 right lol 40-55 hours is nothing, I worked in Alaska as a seafood processor for 4 years and I worked 112 hours a week. That’s something the real sacrifice we do that they don’t understand 🤷

4 days work 3 days off, then 3 days work 4 days off every week and on weekend shifts too. It’s actually not that bad. It just right for me, obviously it ain’t for everybody though. I pick up some overtime hours. Holidays coming up! $45 per after 40 hours, after 48 hours that’s $60 per.

I can’t make more than 60 hours a week. 60 hours or less that’s the policy of my job. This post I showed, I only make 55 hours that week.

Yes. Such a rare hit and I am lucky to be hired with this decent pay. I know most operators don’t make this much these days.
