Argh, I left my phone in the Lyft! Fanfuckingtastic

Gah!

I've been having my usual stress dreams which involve trying to get on planes at the last minute or avoiding checkout in labyrinthine hotels, but last night I had a dream which detoured nicely.

It was a standard unremarkable dream until it shifted and suddenly it was a very high gloss commercial for cinnamon rolls, showing them in closeup as they cooked and expanded in the oven.

It's the nicest dream I've had in a year.

That does sound nice.

I am so frustrated. I can see where my phone was half an hour ago when I am guessing it ran out of juice and am emailing Lyft Support which sounds like a chatbot, cannot tell if that is doing any good or not (cannot log into my Lyft account without my phone, which probably doesn't actually make any difference but is aggravating in these circumstances), I can't log into anything for work except Slack and, like, vendor portals because Duo apparently won't reach my watch if I don't have my phone, and I have no way of getting a ride back to the garage or home or whatever (came to the office to work, where no one else is today) or to hear when my car is ready. I guess I can call the garage with Zoom and ask...

WHINE! GNASHING OF TEETH!

Oh no t that sounds horrible and frustrating!! I’m so sorry! I hope you figure out a way to get it resolved soon.

Cinnamon roll dreams sound way better than late for a flight dreams!

Cinnamon Roll Dreams is a great title for something

Also forgot to eat anything for lunch. There are vending machines here, at least, so I can do something about that!

Hahaha I am still getting text messages asking for donations on my watch, that much still works

Got my car back, with two working brake lights (I actually am taking that on faith, but they are certainly two different brake light assemblies than I had before), thought I'd better go to Starbucks where I know they have wifi to check my Zoom phone in case Lyft had tried to call me but the Starbucks no longer has any seating so I did not do that. Back at the office, still hoping that my original Lyft driver might still show up with my phone, I am very sure it's just in her back seat. Sigh. Maybe I should just go buy a new phone?

-t, when you say "emailed Lyft Support" do you mean the "Your Lost Item" page on their web site?

If not, I didn't have to log in to get there. Start at [link]

That's how I originally contacted them, dcp. They sent me an email asking for more detail so the conversation has been over email. Apparently the driver just hasn't responded all day. I suppose she still might. The location on "Find My Devices" did update at 3:30, whatever that means.

Welp, turning on "Lost" mode and have ordered THE EXACT SAME PHONE supposedly fully refurbished and unlocked through Walmart Marketplace (I think?) to be delivered on Saturday to my parents' house (since that is where I will be on Saturday). I tried to get a free phone from Verizon, they were willing to give me an upgrade, but I couldn't get them to deliver it anywhere but my house which I suppose is a reasonable safety feature but very inconvenient for me at this moment (I could pick up a phone in a store but all the stores are over ten miles from me and more importantly I couldn't get a good color that way). So if this one turns up I'll have a spare, I guess.

-t, that is awful. I once left my phone folded up in the armrest of the uber. I gave the driver all the cash because she tracked me down snd got it back t me! I also once got a phone back from campus security because they noticed the last name of a student who was calling me was the same unusual name as one of the really high up deans. And they called him! So embarrassing
