Uberversity

Today is my first day at Uber. Regularly, it is training sessions after training sessions. Now I learnt that Uber is not a Cab company, not (only) a rider/driver company, but it targets something much larger. It is a tech-company for sure, with its current focus on scaling its software applications.

I was a bit tired today because I was fully loaded with all the new information. I tried to find something unrelated to do, so after work hours I went to shop at Safeway and Ross. They are not too far away. It looks like SF is composed by a lot of smaller blocks. Cherries are cheap this time. I also bought two pairs of slippers at Ross. With shoes on my feet I felt much more comfortable in my room.

SF is also a city with steep difference between the rich and the poor. Homeless men are nearly everywhere, as a huge contrast to the prosperous city. When I was adding gas a man offered to clean my window, just for some change. I feel bad to reject him. But when I came back for him, he already found his clients, which made me feel somewhat better.

A busy night with a lot to do. Life is never easy when you want to learn more stuff, yet that is also the happiest thing on the world. The most pathetic thing is one cannot learn anything but waste time.
