It's here, so now what?

I opened my mailbox this afternoon and there it was, my NYC hack license. Waiting much longer would've driven me completely insane. Now a decision needs to be made as to where to work. There are a bunch of garages and I have one in mind located in College Point. I found them through fliers left at Master Cabbie and they seem like a big operation. I know there are probably others but I'm going to take the easy way and go with one of the fliers rather than hunt for a place. I am planning on working 2 or 3 nights a week, most likely Thursday, Friday, and Saturday which I've been told are the best nights to work. Aside from dealing with the drunken passengers, it should be interesting to say the least. And just think it'll save anyone who reads this more boring ramblings.

I'm debating on when to actually start. Well, its not really a debate, but that sounds better than what it really is, procrastination. I'm a bit of worrier, so now the self doubt kicks in and I am questioning my ability to do this job. Seeing how shitty a rap the NYC cab driver gets and not being someone who takes other peoples shit well. I started to wonder how I'll fare being that it seems there is no shortage of nasty people here. Will it make me miserable?Then I've thought about the first fare I get, they will hit me with some destination I have no idea exists and I'll freeze like a deer in headlights. Once again, it's possible but I always function well under pressure yet I still worry about silly shit like this. I'll figure it all out and one way or another make it work for me, I'm all about making it easy on me.
