Thrive to spite them

Well we have had some incidents at work. A few days ago the overnight team lead let some stranger in the building because she said she needs to use the restroom. And then didn't pay attention to anything the stranger was doing.

Then yesterday I went to use the restroom and turned the corner to find a man standing in the women's room pissing into the floor drain. Did I immediately go get a manager? No. My reaction was to say "No! Nope. No.you can not do that you need to go use the urinal in the men's room. ". He didn't seem to speak English. Had he been in the stall I wouldn't have had less of a reaction.

And then this morning when one of the overnight people was taking their last break this morning a man drove his car up next to her. Got out and got he to roll down her window a little bit and then told her she was beautiful and he had been watching her for awhile (!!) and then asked her for sex. I'm not sure exactly how she handled it. I would have been calling 911 and/or honking my horn.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I thought Wonder Boys was good, but the book was funnier.

"The thing about dorks is we stick together. Mostly for gaming purposes but also because it wards off jocks, gutter clowns and other Stephen King-like threats." - Lauren Okie

askye, all of that sounds alarming.

Yesterday I had an unplanned dental appointment. My hygienist is winding down her hours, so I have to make the jump to a different hygienist. This one is much gentler but also not chatty at all. One of the things no one tells you about aging is how your own care providers retire and suddenly you have to figure out new people and new systems.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My spring break started today (well, technically tomorrow, but I don't teach on Fridays anyway.) I do have some grading and cleaning I need to do, but today I felt like I needed rest more, and I'll do the grading and cleaning another day. Now I'm watching Paralympic sled hockey, which is fun. China and Canada currently tied at the end of the second period, in the semifinals. The DJ between periods is terrible -- so far, I've heard the William Tell Overture, MC Hammer, and "Imagine."
