Life of a Gig Worker LIVING IN A VAN FULL TIME // Chatty Vlog & Ride Along

[@simmpleenough]

I'm behind on responding to comments, but I'll get to them today! I really hope you found something in this video helpful. If you're interested in testing out Instacart, I'd greatly appreciate you using my referral code. New shoppers can earn up to $450 if you complete 30 batches in 30 days. Here's the link. shoppers.instacart.com/ Referral code: YOUC37DD0 And thank you to one of my beautiful supporters of this channel, Anita, for reminding me to include my referral code in this video. I appreciate you all and will see you later!

[@ShaaRee]

Thank you for responding, the timing was super fast please understand I'm wasn't judging I simply wanted to understand and get clarification. May GOD continue to bless you and your journey. Perhaps one day we will cross paths. I'm a woman of faith as well. Much ♥️ and respect to you.🙏

[@QueenBaha]

🌴☀️ I ran into a problem getting setup for gig work after you made a video about this like a year or so ago, so I went to school and got my CDL A but ohh 😮 my gaswh 😔 sis what a slippery industry. Long story short all went well but I haven’t begun ACTUALLY driving as yet, graduated in summer 2023. Feeling deflated, lots of stumbling blocks as a female “applicant”. Tbh, I’ve given up just so tired after nearly 6 yrs vanlife, but one day we will chat. ‘This great that your keeping that company on the books, whenever the creator is about to open another door, here comes some terds 💩 trying to block the blessings…SURPRISE…Mo is covered on all sides! No weapon formed against you shall prosper, To be honest I’m struggling in my faith to stay strong in this but I believe it all the way 🎊so proud of your faith & outlook🎊 Peace be with, in and all around you, and may God continue to make your enemy be your footstool☀️🌴

[@abbigailclay4116]

I can understand how frustrating it can be to deal with coworkers gossiping and spreading false information. That's why I decided to leave the hospital and become a traveling nurse. It's been less stressful not having to deal with people's immature behavior, and I have greater peace of mind. I'm grateful that the young man stood up for you. I enjoyed this video; it was straightforward and showed the realities of van life. It's great that you can make money while on the road.

[@simmpleenough]

Another viewer said the same thing! She's a nurse who had to deal with a toxic work environment and she jumped on a traveling nurse opportunity as soon as she could! I'm happy for you both ❤️.

[@kimberlyc84]

I never knew about traveling nurses until my daughter's diagnosis at 5. I was fortunate to be able to stay w her during infusions during the summer months (I worked in the same school district so got all the same time breaks off). But I wondered when I'd go down to the parking garage to replenish my cooler and I'd see a few out of state plates on vans and I could tell people were sleeping in them. Not all states have a Ronald McDonald house for families to stay in and not all people would want to. I wonder if some of the nurses dwelled in their vans as well to cut the cost of the hotels. Thank you for your choice!

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

Travel ursing an be just as bad. They can cancel your contract for any or no reason. Other nurses are hostile as they know you make more money. I have never had positive experiences with either registry or co tract nursing

[@WisconsinWanderer]

as older retired guy i’ve been interested in Instacart, doordash so i’m here to support your channel and learn to do this part time to supplement my van life😊thanks

[@simmpleenough]

Thank you so much 😊

[@patriciahooks7897]

Little sis....what you said about working with people is going to be like that for a long time. I am 57 years old and I still encounter that type of work behavior I have worked at for 27 years. I just keep praying up everyday and keep it moving ❤.

[@simmpleenough]

I believe you. My mom is 61 and she says the same thing about work. Prayer and keeping it moving is the best course of action for most things in life!

Monique 👋, “People only matter, if YOU allow them to matter.” I absolutely love that saying because it’s so true. As I get older, I’ve learned to really start tuning people out a lot more. I no longer allow negativity to steal my energy. Some people just don’t like to see others happy or in a good mood so they’ll do everything they can to shift that. Things will remain the same until YOU change them. Thanks for dropping this video, I really enjoyed it. Be safe out there and I look forward to watching you on your next journey. 🖤

[@simmpleenough]

👋🏾❤️ As time passes, I begin to see the wisdom in the simple sayings I grew up hearing from my elders, such as "misery loves company". Sometimes, it's as simple as that; nothing more, nothing less. Miserable people want others to be miserable. It's sad, but like you, I'm no longer allowing that negativity to steal my energy. What a freeing feeling!! You be safe, as well.

[@777LadyVenus]

Thank you Monique, your video and explanation was very informative. I am going through the same situation; with gossip and slander at my job! I’m tired of it, I’ve tried to ignore them. But the energy is toxic. I’m going to start living in my car March 3rd and I’m so excited to hit the road. I’m not going to be going gig work but I’m a nurses aide and will travel with a few apps ❤ Much love and gratitude for you ❤

[@simmpleenough]

Congrats on the new journey you're about to embark on! I've heard nothing but good things about traveling nurses. A couple of them commented on this video saying they love it because it's drama free!

[@f.conseillant4407]

They love your work and that unadulterated, positive energy you bring. Peace.

Hey Ms.Lady, can I suggest investing in a vest with a camera attached. I’ve seen a few KZbinrs wearing the vest for protection & confirmation on delivery.

[@simmpleenough]

Thank you for this idea! I'm going to look for one this week and order it 😊.

[@rouseyournicholls]

I love it!! People do not matter unless you allow them to matter.

I loved Your reply to the guy at Your job. " I'm a Woman who chooses to cover Her body" It use to be like that. Women in Our community dressed very conservatively. I'm 73 years old. I remember the first sister with a mini dress. Boy did the old folks have something to talk about. I think I was 11th grade and She was 9th. Be Well Mack 13:44

[@simmpleenough]

lol, I'm sure they did have something to talk about! Nowadays, it's the norm. The other day, I saw a man wearing super tight spandex shorts and his "package" was just out for all to see. No one batted an eye.

[@meatmachines]

I recognize the city you are in. I hate driving there so much! It's one of the reasons I moved away. Thanks for sharing all the gig work info!

[@simmpleenough]

I hate it, too! Every year this place gets more and more crowded. My family lives here, but this city will most definitely not be my permanent home.

[@kimberlyc84]

Hi! I'm almost caught up🎉 The video started with me hearing the clicks. Why did I keep looking for the 'skip ad' button wanting to get to the video??😂 Then I looked at the phone to see it was part of the video! Starting over now🤣 I'm still learning 😊 Re: the 'witch' comment, ignorance and stupidity are completely different. Ignorance is when ppl find out the facts and choose to enlighten themselves; whereas stupidity is where even when facts are proven but atill choose to believe the misinformation. I have worked with two people that are wiccan at my elementary school. It's very interesting when you find out and you actually sit down and talk to people as opposed to just letting the mind go crazy. I think a lot of it also comes from this day and age where people are used to putting all of their own personal business out on blast and when someone comes along that is not hanging all out, chooses to be respectful even in the silence, they take it that they have to create some drama. ~Fools gonna be fools

Loving your videos! 💜I definitely prefer working alone. Seems like human nature that when people are in groups, they often gossip.

Am I just missing it somehow? 🤔😁 If you can let me know how to find it, I will contribute on this video or on your next one.

Yup, I agree; the person who sticks out is usually the first target. Thank you for offering to contribute. I don’t currently have a “Thanks” link, but I’ll certainly figure out how to set that up this week. I really appreciate it 😊💜

You have two important things here, all coming from the Universal Spirit. You found 2 allies in your co-workers & possibly a 3rd in the one who wanted to know from you who you were, and the two who in a since knew the essence of you.

The Big Lonely feels very spiritual to me.

Can I ask you what app you used to show us the gig work apps? I hope this makes sense.

[@simmpleenough]

I think I understand! It wasn't an app. iPhones (and probably androids, too) allow you to create categories for your apps on your home screen. So, I created a Gig category and placed all my my gig apps in that little box. I have one labeled Finance with all of my bank apps, one labeled Travel with all of my camping apps, etc... 😊

[@Freespirted2g]

Interesting, just yesterday a erratic guy screaming about witches through the train. I was afraid he would attack someone. I COMPLETELY resonate your experience with negative and hateful culture. It seem that good spirits will have an issue (especially people of color). Whatever we do positively and passionately, although others of different cultures do the same, we are under some type of racist scrutiny. I mean just minding your business can be an issue for some. Freak the unrestful, get that money and continue to live in peace. You are so exciting to watch from this stance. Your videos have a way that gives the viewer different angle.

Hello again Will you please clarify "trash people '???? Israel FLAG???

[@simmpleenough]

Hello. I consider anyone who stands with the genocide Israel is currently putting the Palestinians through as a “trash person”. Standing with current Israel is equivalent to standing with genocide and that makes them trash, to me.

[@meanderingmuse8101]

Monique i have been following u for a while and always enjoyed ur calm videos about food, travel and ur life. SIGH on this one! How can u complain that people are badmouthing u for being a Muslim and then in the same video call a whole group of people "trash?" That actually makes no sense. U don't even have ur facts straight but then I'm not surprised as half the young people in this country do not. U might want to listen to Imam Mohammad Tawhidi. . ​@@simmpleenough

[@simmpleenough]

I appreciate you sharing how you feel. I see Imam Tawhidi constantly calling all members of hamas a terrorist, which I agree with. I see him criticizing them MUCH more than the Israeli terrorists. I see he has an agenda, as does most everyone, and I don’t support his agenda. Is there any difference in him constantly calling hamas terrorists and me calling people who support genocide ‘trash’? People calling me a witch out of ignorance is not the same as me calling a person trash if they openly support Israel at this current moment. If I wore a shirt that said “witch” or put a sign in my yard that alluded to me supporting witches, I would understand someone assuming I’m a witch or that I support whatever it is that witches are currently doing. A person putting that sign in their yard during this war knows what message they’re sending. To tell me I don’t have my facts straight makes no sense. Are you in Israel or Palestine at this very moment? If not, then how do you know what the facts are? You don’t. All any of us know is what the media tells us. We watch media and we pick a side. That’s it. I’ve picked my side. I have no issue with Jewish people or Israelis who condemn what is being done to Gaza, but I’m not okay with people openly supporting Zionist terrorists. No one should put a sign like that in their yard during the current climate. I’m open to changing my perspective, but telling me to listen to that guy will not do it. I stand by what I said, and I’m okay with your feelings about me changing.

[@simmpleenough]

Also, it’s not the Israeli flag I had an issue with. It’s not Israel as a whole I’m calling trash. You can see I zoomed in on the sign that said “We support Israel” or whatever it said. It’s the sign that is my issue. That sign currently has a sinister meaning and anyone who puts it up knows the sinister meaning behind it, in my opinion. That’s not okay, to me.

[@meanderingmuse8101]

@@simmpleenough I can surely accept anyone stating that this is a complicated situation and wanting all the violence to stop. But when u use a word such a Genocide u seem to be overlooking the fact that Oct 7 was a massacre where women and children were raped and mutilated, babies were killed and people were kidnapped. Imagine being an Israeli young person just going to a music festival and suddenly u have to run for ur life, all while seeing ur friends getting killed? 1400 people were killed that day. And other people were killed in their homes. The sexual violence against women was horrible. Please research that if u can. The problem is that Hamas wants Israelis and Jews not to exist at all and any time they have been offered a state they have rejected the offer. They do not want to live in peace with Israel at all. They want to wipe the state out and have literally stated that they will continue doing attacks like the one on October 7. So what should Israel, as a country, do with this information? Nothing? At least they warn the Palestinian people of incoming attacks and try to get them to move out of the war zone. No other country does this. And for years Israelis have treated Palestinians in Israeli hospitals. Also perhaps ask urself why countries like Egypt has not opened their doors to the Palestinians?? Or why other Muslim countries do not take them in? Israel is a tiny little country as opposed to the larger Arab and Muslim countries. The sad truth is that Palestinians are raised to hate all.Jews and Israelis--it is taught in their schools-- whereas Israelis are not taught that kind of hatred. And in Israel one is free to be Jewish, Muslim or Christian. This is not the case in Gaza. If Hamas hadn't started this war, NONE of this would be happening. There has actually been no Israeli presence in Gaza for many years. In my opinion the Palestinians are being used as pawns by Iran backed Hamas to further the Iran agenda. To answer ur question I do have friends in Israel although I am.not there myself..i am American. And I watch a broad range of media. I just feel before u label a whole group as "trash" u might consider there are 2.sides to every conflict. And perhaps that person with the sign has lost a family member in the war. None of these hostilities will ever end if we all go on labelling and hating one another. Be well.

Do you feel safe wearing hijab in public ?

[@simmpleenough]

Ummm, I'd say 50/50. I've felt pretty safe the last few years, but recently it seems like islamophobia is back on the rise. Or maybe it has always been on the rise and I've been living under a rock since I rarely watch the news. I just learned of a man ending the life of a 6 year old boy because he was muslim. He tried to do the same to the child's mother, but she survived. I've been hearing of some other recent sad news stories regarding the killing of muslims in the U.S. and it makes me nervous and more cautious of my surroundings, but at the moment I have no desire to stop wearing hijab.

You might want to look more closely at the history of this region before making negative remarks. The only way to stop conflict is for people to coexist and accept one another. You don't have to agree with them. I don't agree with Muslim beliefs but I would never dream of calling Muslims trash people. I know you don't agree with Israel but that does not make them trash people. Apart from that I have enjoyed your video's and find your life style interesting.

I never said all Israelis are trash. I agree with everything you said. I do. I just feel very frustrated and helpless with what’s happening to the Palestinians. I know there are people who believe the Israelis have it just as bad as the Palestinians, but my perspective is different. I feel so bad for Palestinians right now. That sign those people had in their yard triggers my lower self and caused me to voice my frustration. Trash was a harsh word, but I don’t vibe with anyone who puts that sign up. Out of everyone who told me their disapproval of what I said, your comment is the only one that spoke to me. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

@@simmpleenough I am happy you were not offended. I truly do like your video's. I understand that you sympathize with the Palestinians. I do to. I also sympathize with the Israelis. When I look at peoples issues from their perspective I always find that there is something I agree with and something I disagree with. I am famous for saying (within my group of associates) "there are 8 billion people in the world. Were never going to agree with everyone.. The best we can do is respect other people's opinions and move on"

Sawubona✨️🙋🏾‍♀️✨️ Gratitude for your patience, honesty and grace. Shame on those people for their willfully blind ignorance and their spreading of the disease of ignorance. Kudos to the guy for being bold enough to ask questions and gain knowledge. And ICK!!!! to how creepy people are to you as a Muslim woman...not shocked, just tired. And the way people are to you in parking lots!! 👀👀🫸🏾 Dont do me no favors... when you swe someone obviously in their car loading, DON'T WALK UP BEHIND THEM, maybe speak first. ANNOUNCE YO SELF, he didnt say, "excuse me, are you done with this cart, i can take for you, im on my way in"...what video game does that guy think life is for him to use those words 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I love working for myself, but traveling affects the clients until i set up more online course work or something digital so i can be location free. Or if I'm there long enough to build community/report. This was a realistic and very appreciated video. Thank you for your insight! That pep talk at the end. That declaration! Definitely appreciate you!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Everything we want we have and if we don't have it is actively making its way to us. Keep going, sis!!!

Yebo sawubona, sis ❤️ I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the behavior of the parking lot guy was strange. I felt the same as you; why on earth would you just stand behind someone and quietly watch them load bags in their car without making yourself known?? It creeped me out. I'm happy my little pep talk spoke to you 😊. Lately, my body has been tingling with excitement from everything I feel is coming my way. I feel like I already have it all. I don't fully know where this feeling came from, but I'm holding on to it. It's beautiful. You keep going, as well 🤎🌞.

How rude of some people. I am a woman who wears my head covered daily. I am not Muslim...I am Hebrew (by blood not conversion) Please dont associate me with whats going on in other parts of the world. I do not support violence..... I respect any woman who submits and covers her head.

Hey, Sweetie! Please remember to protect people’s names and privacy, as in blackout the names on the bags. Ex: Someone may have relocated because of an abusive spouse, and this video could be a bread crumb in finding the victim. 🤍

[@simmpleenough]

Several people have left similar comments on this video. I tried to blur out everyone's name and address. I was so tired when editing this video. I fell asleep twice while editing it, watched it 3 times before uploading it, and still missed some of the names and addresses. It was not intentional.
