Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>Just took a first stab at this year’s tax filing which will include <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/doordash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doordash</span></a> earnings ($~16000) and deductions. So far, no real impact. I was a little worried I would end up needing to pay a bunch on the DD income.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/gigwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gigwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxes</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>Today marks the 365th day since I started Door Dashing. </p><p>My first Dash was Dec 31, 2023.</p><p>It's a little slow tonight, as I thought it might be. But I won't be going out tomorrow night on New Years. So I'm hanging out in the parking lot, listening to tunes. 🎶 </p><p>This has turned into a 2nd job. </p><p>A reliable source of income to cover costs. It's by no means ideal. My car got rearended at a stoplight in June. </p><p>I have a sore shoulder some nights. </p><p>I would like to do other things on my evenings and weekends, but it hasn't been bad. </p><p>I enjoy it. I have actually got to engage more with hockey (both local <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/bulldogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bulldogs</span></a> and NHL <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/canucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canucks</span></a>) by listening to radio broadcasts like the old days.</p><p>I've come to know my town a lot better. I've also come to know a much more broad variety of the people that call it home. </p><p>There is comeraderie between dashers as well as with restaurant workers. </p><p>Before, and when I started, I was frankly embarrassed, ashamed, that I was doing this.</p><p>What a stupid, privileged, ignorant attitude... totally unnecessary. </p><p>There should never be shame in working. </p><p>My family and friends have been so supportive. </p><p>I feel good and lucky to be able to do this. I am also grateful to live in a province that has forced the delivery companies to pay better wages.</p><p>Onward we go. Tip your delivery people if you can, but if you can't, that's ok too. </p><p>We're all just getting by the best we can. ❤️ 🍔 🍗 🍕 🥤 🍷 🌯 🚙 </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/doordash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doordash</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ubereats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ubereats</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/SkipTheDishes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkipTheDishes</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/gigwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gigwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workers</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/worklife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worklife</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/affordability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>affordability</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/delivery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>delivery</span></a></p>

Flipboard<p>What’s your perception of a gig worker?
