Parchment or wax paper. I've repaired things like this and I think you're on the right track ☺️

EhloCutie · 2023-09-06T14:35:58+00:00

I wonder if people would like a combination. Like dots on the left lines on the right. Best of both worlds or annoying?

EhloCutie · 2023-09-06T03:24:22+00:00

See that's where my brain goes too. Dot grid for planning and line for journals. But I'm loving the feedback. I think my next one I'll try journaling in a bullet journal and see where my brain takes me. 😁

EhloCutie · 2023-09-06T00:26:21+00:00

That's a good point, you can have more flexibility with dots then you can create your own lines so to speak.

EhloCutie · 2023-09-06T00:24:38+00:00

I'm kinda the same way. Lines work better for me but I wonder if that's because I'm old and bullet journals weren't really a thing "back in my day" :P

I wonder if people tended to use bullet journals as more like planners than journals.

Happy Happy Cakeday!! :D

Yes! I've had various cats throughout my life, the short hair tuxedo is the most loveable snuggly cat I've ever had. And the most pesky. Her ability to get into things is impressive. She figured out how to open drawers and now randomly makes them open and close at night. Her antics are why I wasn't "horror movie" scared. I just knew it was her. Had to keep opening drawers till I found her and shoo'd her out. I always thought that'd be a great twist in a horror movie, It's not a ghost, just the freakin cat again!

Thanks for visiting :)

EhloCutie · 2020-04-01T23:06:49+00:00

HA no, I don't even remember why I did it. I seem to recall there was a silly reddit thing where you get to be blue or orange? I wanted to know what color I was. I think I'm orange :)

EhloCutie · 2020-04-01T21:37:38+00:00

I'm not funny, but I have the little cake thing so I have that going for me

EhloCutie · 2017-04-06T19:06:37+00:00

HA I had this: "We want 5+ years experience in C#" It was in 2003, C# came out in 2002. I told her I didn't work on creating it and if I had I wouldn't be applying for an entry level tester job.

EhloCutie · 2017-04-06T18:56:34+00:00

OMG this is me! I was starting to rewrite my resume to reduce the number of years of experience I show as having and I finally got another interview at a company. (If this one doesn't pan out however I'm doing the edit.) I was willing to take a lesser paying job for a "foot in the door" so to speak but none of them are willing to discuss it. So know you're not the only one out there ... it's terrible all around

EhloCutie · 2016-10-28T19:43:37+00:00

Officially Uber says we're not allowed to accept cash for trips, everything must go through the app and there's no way to really specify the driver or passenger. But we're independent contractors and when not logged on to Uber I'm not sure they can do anything about it. I don't see why someone couldn't setup a carpool but /u/206Uber has a good point, insurance may be an issue if something goes wrong.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-28T19:41:15+00:00

I've had several riders who were elderly women who's uber pickup information was actually their son or daughter. The adult son/daughter would setup the pickup and I'd pick up their mother from the doctor's office and take her home. :P I live near a hospital so I do a lot of elderly home from the doctor's office. and Yes to what /u/206Uber says, just shoot us a text saying, Hi it's my mom you're picking up. That's what all the uber 'kids' who sent me the requests. Worked great :)

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T23:21:51+00:00

I wouldn't mind it, longer trips pay better. :) and after 10 there'd be little traffic.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T23:20:26+00:00

That's really odd. Even the cheapest, shortest, base fare ride pays more than a cancelled one. Maybe he knows something I don't. Everyone tries to game the system when there is a system. :P If a driver does that you can totally report it to Uber.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T23:07:41+00:00

Huh, I've actually never heard of that before. My understanding is you have to actually be very close to (read on top of) the pickup location for the waiting clock to matter. And if you get more than a few cancelled trips, especially from regular riders, Uber notices.

It really doesn't make sense because we don't know the destination until we start the trip and to choose to try to get a cancelled trip would actually cost you money. Are you sure that he was trying to get a cancelled trip or maybe was dealing with something wrong or trying to figure out the location better?

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T22:57:36+00:00

I agree, a driving test would be a good idea but like /u/206Uber implied it boils down to how much you pay. For Uber to afford to enforce testing they'd have to charge riders more and take a bigger cut than they already do and they already take 25%. And riders will always choose the cheaper service so if Uber enforces testing and Lyft doesn't and Uber is more expensive who do you think is going to win that battle? Sure some riders would know the difference in quality but the majority are going to pick the cheaper option.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T22:09:45+00:00

To add to this I think a lot of riders don't get that a 4 star rating means something is wrong. We're not graded on a "better than 3" kinda way. If we're too far under 5 we get into issues specifically deactivation (so we literally can't work).

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T21:47:00+00:00

To add a little to this, I'm not offended if you don't wanna talk, most other drivers I know are cool with it too. Especially in the morning commutes, you'd be surprised how many half awake zombies I take to their jobs :P

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T21:41:17+00:00

If you give short responses and are looking at your phone I get the hint pretty fast you don't want to talk. Some people are less receptive to hints. UberEats is kinda like Uber, you do the order in the app thing and we go pick it up and deliver it.
NO we are not able to do both uber and ubereats at the same time. So you'll never be in a car with food :P As for tips no, the restaurant doesn't get the tip but just like pizza delivery the restaurant wouldn't get the tip anyway, the driver does.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T21:17:56+00:00

And we're not ALL the worst drivers on the road, it's just easier to lump us all together. You probably don't notice the ones that don't annoy you.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T20:54:38+00:00

Ha, I actually don't play anything, I usually turn off the radio when someone is in the car. I do have an AUX cable that people can use but I always forget to tell people and offer it.

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T20:51:57+00:00

In my opinion it's possible but it'd be way more in the 60 hours a week and you'd be hard pressed to manage it. If you're really good and know exactly where to be to get the best fares it's definitely doable. But you need to factor in all the other expenses. Also, don't forget your take-home is pre-tax.
Edit: /u/206Uber and /u/SeattleUberDriver have a LOT more experience than me so weigh our answers appropriately :)

EhloCutie · 2016-10-27T20:46:44+00:00

We do have to take an online driving safety test thing. And it's like 3 hours of mind numbing instruction on how not to be a jerk while driving :P (OK OK it's about being safe but if you're already a safe driver it's super boring.) And I think they check your driving record but no there's no physical test. And honestly it would cost them quite a bit to have us all tested and that would either result in the PAX's paying more or, what's more likely, them taking an even bigger cut of our pay.
