dervlaincognito*waves to her neighbor* Happy Birthday, Dervla! :)
I tried to go back to bed after Eor left for work, but I just huddled under the covers, unable to get warm, until I started getting hungry. Finally I just got up and piled clothes on, made breakfast and tea, and now I'm sweating. Feels good. I still don't want to take a shower, I'm afraid I'll start getting cold again.
It's raining. Nope, not walking to work today. *fights the urge to call in sick* I'm not sick, dammit.
I really need to make myself take a shower NOW if I'm going to make the bus.
Yesterday was rather amusing - five of us had training for four hours in the middle of the day. It's a pathetic thing to see people who are used to being at least somewhat active closed into a classroom. We get restless a lot at work when it gets quiet, but putting us in a classroom is deadly. We're either falling asleep or trying to keep ourselves awake by being dorkwads, but trying hard to be good. ElvenGirl is actually quite good at letting us joke around a bit but keeping us on track.
At one point we got to wondering why we don't just hug every single person who comes through the checkpoint, as part of the screening process. A good hug, done properly, could be effectively used to pat down most of a person's torso area.
Big Tony (who stayed for a little while to help ElvenGirl) got good mileage out of mimicking himself offering the annoyed flight crews a warm hug. (You kind of have to know, I suppose, that Tony is really large, with hands that look like they could wrap around my skull and crush it - in times past he's been a prison guard and a wrestler, but now is involved in some sort of lay ministry work. He's very gentle and soft-spoken.)
K.T. actually made people laugh even more, when he said, "Aw, Captain, having a bad day? Come here!" because K.T. is a small, wiry guy with a stiff manner - he has not at all got the natural warmth that Big Tony exudes. (He's much more like a typical Mainer, really.)
