12 a.m. — I like cooler nights because my dog comes to cuddle. I have grocery delivery hours booked for tomorrow morning, but I cancel them. I've only been doing this for a couple months, but the shine has worn off. They give newbies the easy shifts, and you think you've found the secret to easy money. Then all those good batches dry up, and you're stuck with crap, or people who want you to deliver 20 flats of water in your compact car .
