My son used uber a fair bit when like he did not have a license. I hated it.

I have an acquaintance (the type of acquaintance, frankly, that makes me hate and fear uber drivers) and he wound up with a passenger who had a rifle inside a trombone or some such instrument case. He was able to talk the kid down and take him to student services, etc., but it still made me skeezed.

LOL not that buses are all that much better at least in Tucson. Bus drivers were willing to strike for over a MONTH in Tucson a bit ago an YEAH they wanted more money, but their main demand was a security officer with a gun on every single bus.

They got their way. I understand parenting is stressful and all, but SOME parents were like, letting their 8 year olds take the bus, unaccompanied. I would not let my HUSBAND catch a Tucson bus, let alone my kid, and he has seriously HARMED or possibly killed people (he's not really sure, barfights, etc.).

Uber is the worst though. THEY DO NOT EVEN DO BACKGROUND CHECKS.

I do not want to complain about my job yet (or at least NOT be seeming to do so, for some reason) but these are the two IT types at my work (and yes, I have met each one) only they all seem to have SPLIT personalities, I mean ONE dude who I both liked and trusted SAID he set up my remote access and could do notes at home, but like, when I got home, such was not the case, he said everything would "pop up" automatically. It does NOT, and I have NO CLUE what server to connect to.

This means Monday morning I get to email either a god or a dolt and ask them to unlock my encounter. I saved my actual note to like, a USB drive (we can have those) and no ID information but dood, I am learning the truth of the saying:

Trust IT. But VERIFY IT. He got out of it by telling me I could only "do it off site."

Monday, he and I are going out to the parking lot to VERIFY his work.

I'm one of those IT Pros.

It's funny the people that treat me on a level playing field, Their programs always work.

The people that talk down to me can't even get to the internet. Not sure of the problem, I'll have someone look into it.

Yes...

I am SUPER nice to my ITs. They are like, my LIFELINES. Seriously, I talk down to NO IT person EVER, in fact I am supremely nice to them, I plan on Monday (same with my clinical team) to like, reward them with a foody gift thanks to all the help they have given me in answering my dumb questions.

I can't talk down to them, I literally know NOTHING. LOL. I think it's more they are overtaxed, dude. The computer systems are insanely complicated and they can't hire enough of them.

I still kinda want to take the dude out into my parking lot and wave the computer around, but let's face it that is NOT going to happen.

I will also note that like, um, well I was handed a computer on day one with 17 other user profiles on it, and NO PROGRAMS set up. I was making excuses for needing them, like "Maybe I uh, well maybe IT department did not have enough TIME to set up this clearly strage and empty computer." Because seriously, 17 other folks have owned it. Apparently. I asked my supervisor that and she was like, "They had plenty of time, don't let them off the hook."

But they do seem to get awful smart then awful dumb. Maybe it's stress. Anyway I am dealing with my 80s computer with as much grace as I can muster. LOL.
