She calls at one of the aforementioned times, will she then...
A. Call work and tell them she'll be late, asking me to pick her up before I leave
B. Call in sick.
C. Tell me I never told her I was switching hours!
D. Frantically try and find a ride
(can pick more than one of those options)
First: D. Frantically try and find a ride. Then, A. Call work and tell them she'll be late, asking me to pick her up before I leave.

So, there's the answer. Big props to Megan for being 1 minute off the time with which Mooch called to ask for a ride. :)

A quick rundown of this AM for your amusement (but you can skip over it if you just wanted to see the results)
9:22 - Mooch calls me. Leaves a message.
9:24 - Mary calls me, warning me that Mooch is looking for a ride.
Mooch's message then asks if it would be possible for me to pick her up, as she has called work to tell them she would be late after frantically calling Mary to find out if Mary could drive her to work. The funny thing about Mooch's message and her late start time is that she calls work to tell them that she will be in at 11, but yours truly does not start until 11:30. Essentially, she expects me to leave 1/2 hour earlier so that she can be on time. Mooch also does not realize that I have stayed at Andy's apartment for Sunday night, and he lives off of Ballard Road, while she lives off of College Ave (translation for non Wisconsin/Appleton people: Two points that are way the fuck away from each other - College Ave being about 7-8 miles SOUTH of Ballard Road THROUGH Appleton...and Mooch's house being about 2-3 miles WEST of Hwy 41...oh, and Andy is about a mile EAST of Hwy 41...so do the math, a quick mapquest reveals that Mooch's house is 10.68 miles SOUTHWEST of where I am. But anyway, I digress). So, had I decided to actually pick her up, I would have essentially had to leave around 10:15 so that Mooch could be on time to work at 11, while I would not be starting till 11:30.
10:00 - Mooch calls me again, telling me that she has called work to clear that she would be able to go in at 11:00. She also mentions the $50 she is giving me, as if that will make up my mind (no shit Mooch, you'd owe me another $10 or so just for today, you douche bag)
10:01 - Mary calls
10:02 - Mary calls from work, to inform me that Mooch has called in, and told our Team Lead that it was OK, because she would be late, but that Lauren is giving her a ride for sure (which is funny, since she HADN'T TALKED TO ME). Mary tells me to not answer my phone for sure, and not call her back.
10:20 or so - Mooch calls one last time, leaves no message
10:55 - I leave for work.
11:15 - Arrive at work, no Mooch
12:00 - Mooch arrives at work. I hear through the grapevine she paid her sister $10 to drive her. Which means I will probably only be getting $40 of the $50 she owes me.
The rest of the day passes uneventfully, and Mooch continues to ignore that I exist. Wonderful. Too bad I don't have to drive her sorry ass to work tomorrow.
Again, congrats to Megan for guessing that Mooch would call at 9:23. :)
