Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

supposed to be impossible, since the Uber driver only gets a substitute phone number (the same the whole shift) that applies to each passenger only while the fare is active

He texted me within the window you specify, and although I laughed (brayed) when I first saw them, it reminds me of the comic book store guy who looked me up in store files and called me at home to ask me out.

Sure, we had a fun conversation, but BOUNDARIES. I would have given him my phone number (or asked for his) if I were interested in continuing. Using company resources to reach out to me is not right.

eta:

if you complain to [link] I bet you'll see some feedback toot sweet.

I feel like I'm being all victimy and hypocritical if I don't, but...maybe he wouldn't know who the complaint came from, because he does it all the time?

Thanks for the link--I'll keep that window open while I decide.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

While Ubering is not something that I want to do as a career, it sure beats grocery store clerking. Shifts just whip past!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ugh, ita. May you have no problems fending off the stalkers.

Teppy, of course you were right! Your boss is C her A.

meara, flying has become such a pain. I take early morning flights out of the local airports whenever I can, just to avoid long security lines.

I'd rather not be working. Alas, there seems to be no way out of it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go msbelle! Woo!

I am full of energy (and sugar) right at the moment. It's too bad I can't go for a run RIGHT NOW but that is not practical. It's one reason I keep bouncing back in here from my spreadsheets, etc.

I'm glad I"m not in billing or sales, with year-end rushes to deal with money-related things. I know Fiscal Years are different from Calendar Years for this very reason, but there are enough small business that use our software that there are probably lots of people wrapping up various accounting things.

Though tech support is seeing a lot of "Crap, I was supposed to get this installed by the end of the year, my boss will kill me."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It'll be interesting to see how many people show up at the lab tomorrow. I may sneak out early, even if we don't get the official go-ahead to do so.

I survived a trip outside, thanks to a prescription I really needed to pick up. At this rate I may have to stay home tomorrow night.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I haven't been to Beatrix yet, but their menu makes me want one of everything. Let's try it.

Cool. What time works for you? 1pm is my default, but I'm flexible.
