In this vlog, I start off by discussing the usual rush I feel in the morning, questioning why I always feel like I'm in a hurry despite not having any pressing engagements. I then dive into an issue I encountered with the Uber driver app, specifically a glitch affecting iPhone users which prevented me from signing off and caused me to miss two reservations. While detailing this glitch, I also cover its widespread impact, noting its occurrence in places like Houston and Sydney.

I then shift to discussing the implications of this glitch on the Uber community, especially in light of the planned strikes and protests against Uber. I argue that involuntary issues like app glitches have a more significant impact on Uber than planned strikes. This leads to a broader reflection on the dynamics within the rideshare community and the reliance on the app for their livelihoods.

Next, I transition to a personal segment, where I help my nephew with semi-formal wear for a school dance, showcasing a more familial and relatable side of my life. This is followed by a return to professional concerns, highlighting the unpredictability and stress of rideshare work, and how private rides add complexity to my schedule.

I also touch upon various personal thoughts and reflections, discussing my approach to handling stress, the impact of stopping drinking on my life, and my struggles with organization and time management. These musings lead to broader considerations about mental health, the human mind's complexity, and how different individuals cope with stress.

I conclude the vlog by acknowledging that while this episode didn't necessarily solve any issues, it was a candid exploration of my thoughts and experiences. I express a desire to focus more on creating structured vlogs and leveraging YouTube shorts for better audience engagement. I also consider making changes to the end call-to-action in my videos and mention plans to release new merchandise, specifically a "Sasso meter" t-shirt.
