'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"

I'm up for a part-time job that might pay well. With like, regular hours and stuff like that! And I could still drive for Lyft around it pretty easily!

Lyft operates an offsite Help Desk/Info Booth in the Watertown Mall, and they're opening a similar one in the Natick Mall (which is a bit upscale for them, but whatever) so I'd be there to answer questions, help people apply and generally be helpful. Pay is $18/hr, so it would be decent money even for part-time.

I felt the need to share this somewhere because I'm kind of excited by the thought of non-driving work at this point. Crossing fingers!

I have a Lyft question! How do I pay for a ride? I am extremely reluctant to do any actual payment type things from my phone.

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

Go, Theo! Good luck!

I think I remember reading the Gerund War but don't thank no I took part. And if it was on WX I think I just lurked. So I can just be gerund agnostic.

OTOH I fully support msbelle's sabbatical and bemoan my inability to vacay down that way. So very impractical for so many reasons, but tempting nonetheless.

Oh, and happy Purim, y'all. I have chosen my wine for the evening based on which bottle has a screw-top cap because I do not need any more challenges.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Excellent choice, -t!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Theo!

Ooh, I thought it might be Purim, because one of the "it's a culture, not a costume" posts just showed up on my Tumblr dashboard.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Fingers crossed, Theo!

I like gerunds, but I can't imagine there is much to argue about. Verb as a noun, without exception, ending in -ing.

Katie and I have work obligations in June (Tampa and Atlanta for me and her respectively)and there are three days when we have no one to be with our children. (6/16-6/19). I'm at a loss about what to do .

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

Raise your hand if you just looked at your calendar to see if you're free then. (I'm not.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Theo, that sounds great! Fingers crossed!

I like gerunds, but I can't imagine there is much to argue about.

I seriously can't remember what the argument was about. I just remember that it happened, and it got heated.
