I've seen better days

Yesterday was not horrible, it was mostly just embarassing. 

( in which I am not quite late for work, and I get to ride in a police car )

However, today I nearly finished that Pslash which I've been working on, and have sent it off to tootsiemuppet, so that makes me feel better.:) 

The only spectre hanging over me now is the fact that I'm going to be in charge on Lane Two today.  Lane One takes Selectees, so Lane Two has an easier time of it, but still.  Someone asked me, yesterday, if I was going to go for the Lead job which should be opened, soon.  I said I didn't think so.  It would be a big pay increase, and if they're going to keep using me like this I feel like I deserve it, but then being in charge would be my job.  I just hope they hurry up and fill the Lead job so I can go back to being a full-time screener.  I mean, of course there's that Leo part of me that likes being in charge, occasionally, but I really should fight it because being under the spotlight all the time is so tiring.

Misdirection? Why, whatever gives you that idea?

I don't know yendi, but I like what he has to say about the Terri Schiavo case.  (found via rowantree.)

The case does make me think, though.  Sometimes when I'm sick and lying on the couch I'm not really asleep.  I can hear Eor moving around in the next room but I can't quite wake up, either.  I really hate that.  It's even worse when it happens in the middle of the night when I'm not sick, but I'm half dreaming, and my eyes are open and I can't move.  *shudder*  If that's what my life was like for fifteen years I would be completely insane.  I would want so badly to die.  And that is the best case scenario for this poor woman.  I feel awful for her.  I can't imagine any compassionate god who would want that for anyone. 

the worst thing? (don't worry, it was a good day. :))

The worst thing about having fallen on the snow bank yesterday?  Today the sidewalk along the right side of the road was clear all the way out, so it wouldn't have happened today.

The worst thing about planning to take the bus home?  Someone always offers me a ride.  I mean, I love getting rides, and it's wonderfully nice of them, but they'll get tired of it after a while, and then when I really want a ride people will be like, "she's such a pain in the ass."

It was actually a good day at work; the passengers trickled in at a nice, steady pace and everything ran smoothly.  A little child had to be hand wanded and he had a great time doing it - his mother took video of it because he was so cute. :)  A woman lost her cellphone and an old couple lost their passports, and we were able to retrieve those for them.  An old guy in a wheelchair said we were great and took really good care of him and he was very pleased we were so thorough.  Several people were impressed with our finding little knives and scissors and nobody was the least bit put out to lose anything.  It was like the model day.  Must be that everyone's in a good mood because it's spring.  Well, the snow is melting.  It's not really spring, yet.

And tomorrow I don't have to be in charge.  I'm downstairs and I get to be a screener - this is almost like a day off. :)

Oh why not - another meme.  Except I have to pronounce it 'me, me!,' because it's one of those that's all about me...
