A smart thing I did for New Years Eve.
So yesterday around 5pm I started to stress:
We were meeting a big group for dinner at a brilliant steak house. Then we were going to a party. I knew there was going to be drinking and it was also going to be hard to get cabs in Los Angeles on New Years eve. So I went on Craigslist and posted an ad for DRIVER WANTED. Within 20 minutes I had no less than 5 responses. I paid $20/hr. They drove my car. I had them arrive at my house at 8pm and then pick up my brother on our way to dinner. The point is, rather than hiring a car service for hundreds of dollars or waiting in the cold for cabs all night. I just hired someone who needed to pick up a couple extra bucks and didn't have plans for New Years to work for us. It couldn't have worked out better. The total with tip came to $160 and that got four of us around all night, in my 7 series BMW. Of course I asked for clean driving records, copies of drivers license, etc. It really worked out great.
