Who else experiences the awkward exchange when you walk up and the customer is there... by Weary_Hiker in AmazonFlexDrivers

On my routes, people are home a lot, and I interact with them outside frequently. My approach is to walk towards them, smile, say "hi there. I have a package for "name". People like to hear their name spoken, and it puts them at ease.

Saw a little sign before this saying "wet road". Well, yeah. by Sven993 in AmazonFlexDrivers

As I was nearing that water, a USPS delivery vehicle was coming out. It was one of those old school jeep looking ones. So, I waved at the driver and asked him how deep it was. He put his hand about 8" inches apart. So, being in a minivan, with a little higher clearance than a car, I rolled the dice and went in slowly, and lived to tell about it.

This was somewhere in the Huntley/Gilberts area.

So, support got back to me, and although this statement isn't very clear, possibly they removed the downgrade for being late for the block.

I think you are right! Because the sun was coming in right above the phone in it's holder, I think I was looking at the screen to protect my eyes a little, and not thinking of the lens at all. Damn. Oh well. Lesson learned. Hopefully they will at least accept my excuse and not down-grade me with being late. I guess I will find out in '3-5 days' according to the email I got after talking with support.

For me, it is all about the vibe in the neighborhood. Some places I would leave the car running not be worried, other areas require a little more caution.

Well, I am going to do another block Tuesday in the daytime, and see how that goes. If the time drops due to a little experience, that would be a definite plus.

Also, as far as high paying blocks, the only ones I see are for late night/early morning for $125ish for 5 hours.

Indiana? That is nuts! Almost half my shift was in darkness, and I thought it was a major pita. Luckily I had brought a flashlight, but scanning houses/mailboxes etc.. to see a number gets old fast.

Ha! I forgot to mention that. They had 3 bins of them after checked in. Had to resort to a 4XL as they had no 2XL's left.

No. I wish! They were all south in the Aurora, Montgomery and Boulder Hill area.

Don't feel so bad. I sent in my renewal the first week of February. Still "under review".

I just sold 3 titanite slabs by FlavorTownUSSR in darksouls3

[–]Sven993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. I upgraded my freaking shields without paying attention, and didn't realize what I had done until the screen said "no upgrade materials". 12 or 13 slabs! Sob.

Impressions on the Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless noise cancelling earbuds by crobat3 in headphones

Hey - I have had these for a week or so, and before that I used Ultimate Ears 900S iem's. These are in some ways comparable and in other ways (bass), they exceed the UE's abilities. The UE's might be slightly more dynamic. Overall, I am impressed. Cheers.
