The week was a bit grueling, but it’s finally Friday. Yay! And it’s a 3-day weekend! YAY!
And even better, I actually get ALL THREE days off!
[For those of you new to my blog...let's just say that there are certain things that really suck about working in payroll. For instance: holidays. Most of the time, holidays force us to either work on the holiday, or work an extra day during the week to make up for having had the holiday off. People have to get paid on time, holiday or no! Memorial Day--this year anyway--does not interfere with our payroll schedule. Yay!]
I made it to Twisted three days in a row this week! The weather has been pretty yucky, so I’ve been taking the bus even though it’s only a little over a mile from my office. I get off the bus about a block and a half from the shop, crossing two small streets. You’d think that’d be a pretty safe way to go, wouldn’t you?
I almost got run over today.
The bus lets me off on a two lane, one-way street. I always cross the side street first, to give the bus a chance to get by and because I have to wait for the rest of the traffic to clear anyway before I can cross the one-way street. So, as usual, I waited for all the traffic to clear (there’s a traffic signal at the previous intersection) and then crossed the street. I made it halfway across when a woman driving a huge silver SUV turned left onto the one-way street from the other side. She stopped in time, with tires squealing as I jumped sideways away from her car.
I don’t think she was any closer to me than, oh, 6 feet, but it was scary!
Now I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend, with lots of time to rest. And lots of knitting, I hope.
