Personal work and income plan

make this very shot: I have not done a lot of deliveries with Uber Eats so far. One reason was the engine light issue I had to address and the other is that I just simply do not want to put miles on my car or risk getting in a accident with all the horrible drivers here. I am babying my car. I think I value it more because I paid for it all. It is worth about a month and a half of labor. I also don’t like going on the highway so if I can stay on normal roads as much as I can I prefer that. I also don’t like driving at night. I don’t see as well at night. It is difficult to read street signs and house numbers. Plus the bad drivers come out at night. As do the criminals. The amount of income needed to go positive in savings each month is around $700. $200 of that is Captain. $150 is car insurance. I really need to get lower priced insurance. On June 19th, Juneteenth, the day of my freedom, I had $11,200. Now I have $10,600. Not bad for two months. That is also from not working hardly at all. Well I have been working, just not jobs that pay. I am counting that as my vacation. I think that is what I really needed was a vacation since I had not taken a single day off the entire year I worked at HEB. Anyway. I started doing my old data annotation job I used to always do. It nets 200-300 a month. Which leaves around $500 I would need to earn. That would only take around a week of Uber Eats deliveries. So that is probably what my work will look like if I do not fill that $500 with my other data annotation work, which is entirely possible. If the python job comes back I would only work that job because it pays $100 an hour. Regardless I think I took a pretty nice vacation, even if I never left my apartment. It only cost $600. So a burn rate of $500 a month if I only work my easy data annotation job and look for work and not do deliveries is not bad. At that rate I could last a year and 9 months. So my current plan is to keep doing data annotation for now and keep looking for more work. I probably will not do many deliveries for now. I really need that car as transportation to my next job rather than waste the car on deliveries. If after a few months I still do not have the python job, or a better annotation job, or some other work, then I will do Uber Eats full time for a month or two to build back up. Personally I like this lifestyle better than when I worked at HEB. I really prefer roles with little to no customer interaction. I hate acting despite being good at it. This lifestyle is only possible because of HEB. It requires having savings since you really need to be able to weather periods of low to no income. HEB was meant to be temporary anyway. I could not see myself going into management there and they only are hiring senior developers for tech roles now, for which requires a higher degree and at least 10 years professional experience.

Here’s a concise version of your text while keeping the key points intact: --- I’ve barely done Uber Eats deliveries because of an engine light issue, not wanting to put miles on my car, avoiding bad drivers, highways, and night driving. I value my car since I paid for it—it’s worth about six weeks of labor. To save each month, I need about $700: $200 for Captain, $150 for insurance (which I hope to lower), and other expenses. On June 19 (Juneteenth), I had $11,200; now I have $10,600 after two months with minimal paid work—basically a vacation after a year at HEB with no days off. I’ve restarted my old data annotation job ($200–$300/month), leaving about $500 to cover, which I could make in a week of deliveries if needed. If my $100/hour Python job returns, I’d do only that. For now, I’ll stick with annotation work and job hunting, keeping my car for future employment. If nothing changes in a few months, I might do full-time Uber Eats briefly to rebuild savings. I prefer this quieter lifestyle over HEB—no customer interaction, less stress. It’s only possible because I saved from HEB, which was always meant to be temporary. --- Do you want me to also make a **very short**, almost tweet-length version? That would condense it even more.
