Ever work as a messenger ?
I always liked watching the posengers cruise along on their shiny clown bikes while we tore it up making a living... used to do at least 20 runs in a 6 hour day as well as a set daily run that I did twice a day where I'd drop off and pick up from 15 locations in an hour or less and sometimes have to squeeze in a straight line trip while doing that.
So... about 50 drops a day.
8 drops a day is starvation unless you are getting some pretty juicy trips.
