drive a taxi

First one, no problems until a month later, backing up and curving, I put a very slight dent in the rear left of the vehicle. Telephone pole. Didn’t see it in the rearview. So I learned I should have check the side mirror too, especially as I was turning while backing.
Second company I worked for, an independent company, my boss was a short Puerto Rican man. He had me drive this old Ford Explorer turned into a taxi. The motor was so far gone, it burned oil, but I was NOT to add oil as “this could hasten the oil leak.” Whatever. I did what he told me.
I left some time later, I can’t remember why, of my own accord. Either I got a job with the AVCP Receiving Home, or I travelled to Spain to visit my sister. It’s so long ago now.

I am my own boss, a slave only to the market and my checkbook. I set my own hours, knock off when I want, help people.
