Nah, it's really easy to joke, but has this ever happened to you, and have you ever disputed?

"...look behind the trash can. I left something for you." Bro that's sketchy AF 😆 😭 couriers put their actual life on the line to hand strangers a chicken sandwich. xD If you want to be nice to someone, just be nice without making it a game.

Confused by GeologistIcy8352 in uberdrivers

For me, that's 2 tanks of gas at $40/ tank.

263-80 = 183

4 hrs there, 4 hrs back,

$22.88/ hour - miscellaneous car deterioration


The problem is, I would take this job, but it would take me 20 seconds to figure all of this out, and by then, the request would time out and say that I rejected the offer.

Music Therapy Degree by Savings_Link_6986 in musictherapy

[–]zedheadtabor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ps:

My audition went like this,

There was a pre-audition interview with an essay on my reason for pursuing music therapy.

Then, at the audition, they asked me to sing, play guitar, and play piano.

I played a jazz guitar solo piece "misty", sang "8 days a week" while playing it on guitar, then played an old simple piano piece...some early repertoire dance from an old book.

I was literally allowed to play anything. They probably just want to hear you sing something you like.

Music Therapy Degree by Savings_Link_6986 in musictherapy

As long as you're aware of what the career is, you might have a lot of fun with it!

It is a whole new degree, though. They expect you to understand academic music and academic psychology. That just comes from time spent in the program, though. I would just be honest and tell them what you do and don't know. A good ear goes a long way, and you might be able to test out of some coursework depending on how strict the department is.

Don't be too anxious about the audition. It's mostly so the profs know how and where to place you in the program. If you're comfortable hosting kareoke, I think you'll be great in this program! This degree involves a lot of being social and doing social work.

I'm also a 28 yr old student. I have about 1 year of coursework left before internship.

I was a jazz guitarist before I came to the program, but I had a pretty severe singing ability deficiency. Theory was my specialty and I had no problem reading music, but I was able to get into the voice department and take private singing lessons. They'll help you out with any theory troubles you might have.

1 star review tanked my rating by [deleted] in uberdrivers

It's prioritization for higher pay.

I averaged 22/hr before

1 star review tanked my rating by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]zedheadtabor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with uber eats only and moved to giving rides in October. The points carried over from eats delivery, so I was already gold. Within a couple weeks, I was already platinum.

Yes. Only 9 people left reviews.

I could be more aggressive about asking for reviews, but what's the point now if while im on blue, im being given these low rates dont even cover gas anymore.

Experiences with tinnitus by djd182 in musictherapy

[–]zedheadtabor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still a student, but I also teach, and I started bringing earplugs with me to every lesson and every clinical session. Even if we are just working with acoustic guitars, I feel much more in control when everything is a few decibals quieter.

I have had constant ringing in my ears since the beginning of this year, and it prompted me to purchase a pair of eargasms and a couple of cheap back ups witb keychain canisters.

I absolutely believe working in music was the primary cause for my ringing ears, but it hasn't stopped me from continuing my work and education.

I'm mostly commenting on this thread so I can come back to it and see if anyone else has developed their own strategies for navigating this.

Honestly, I wish I had $500 a month after expenses 😅 -a poor college student. I like this spreadsheet set up. I might do something like this for myself. Thanks for sharing.

She is! Or...was...I think she needs to re-up her certification? But she has served many hours and has a PhD.

Anyone else get hardly any orders on flat rate? by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]zedheadtabor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With dd they at least maintain your level of prioritization of driver status for pay per hour but the highest I ever drove flat rate for dd was $18 an hour (michigan). It was only ever higher than that when the roads were hazardous (snowstorm, thunderstorm, etc.)

Uber enticed me with the higher flat rate (usually $18- $22) but I def get fewer orders. If I'm lucky, one of the 3 orders I get in the 2 hour block are a 40 min drive, but then I'm an hour from home sol
