Well, substitute bus run finished.
You know what? I learned something today. When a student says they know the route, don't expect that they know the route. Because kids like to think they got it down, when in fact... Not so much. Also, if you drive a school bus in torrential tropical rain, your gonna have a bad time

The stillness of a 3am watch. The hum of refigerators packed with deep-sea samples and the gentle patter of rain on the Seventies-style plate-glass windows.
You are a lot nicer than I am. I am usually cursing and wondering why the <blank> am I up at this ungodly hour. Then my wallet tells me to shut up and work.

Happiness can be achieved in any situation. I needed to be reminded of this earlier, as I lost my equilibrium. But, I am calm and centered once again. And 4 am isn't so bad. It has a certain quiet dignity that the daytime lacks.

~shrugs~ Oh, I agree. But I am not a nice person when I am tired. I am glad that at least one of us has gotten there.

There was a time when 4am would be a whirl of activity as I baked the output of two coffee shops. Precisely timing oven after oven of baked goods to go out while prepping coffee and serving the first few early birds.
Compared to that, sitting at a darkened desk and waiting for dawn while typing is sheer bliss.

Oh I feel you. I am rather tired myself. Probably why I allowed myself to get annoyed over nothing earlier. But, I find that annoyance and anger are usually irrelevant emotions. Especially when directed at someone I will never meet personally. Better off chalking it up to learning and driving on.

Maybe not ANY situation. Back when I was between good jobs I took a job as a corporate cleaning crew... there was a lab on site... I am not sure WHAT they were researching but it was in bio hazard bags and smelled worse than anything I had ever smelled before. Puke was like flowers in comparison. And yes I had to clean that restroom after puking my first day on the job. The worst part was my boss told me to just toss those bio hazard bags into the dumpster, shouldn't there be a hazmat team disposing of that stuff?! Not some new hire being told to just toss it in the garbage with only rubber gloves between her and certain death.
Yeah I didn't stay at that job long. No happiness there.

When can we expect appearance of anti-bird drones?
That arms race can't end well...

Really?!?
A coworker at the old AV company once almost got fired, because he picked up an (empty & unused) Biohazard bag from a job site, deciding to use it to carry electrical cables in rather than lug them individually as the rest of us were doing. When we were unpacking cases at the wharehouse and that bag appeared, the bosses flipped out.
Turns out there are laws regarding the procedures for disposing of a biohazard bag. Even if supposedly unused. To 'protect us' from mistakenly presuming that an empty bag is harmless I suppose?
Having that reaction from a place with actual biohazard?!?!
Yeah,... new job time. Even if you adore the sweet smell of puke & biowaste. :P

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Sid and Nancy finally decided to take the plunge, and began plotting their trip to Niagara Falls. Meanwhile, in an effort to better work his ten different jobs, Patrick sought help from the Roslin Institute in Scotland. Across town, Max and Gary were stuck in a terrible traffic jam after several enraged pigeons managed to set fire to.....NO, WAIT! That's my soap opera!

Well, it seems the radical temperature swings have left me sick today. I decided to take a day off from class. I of course emailed my professor 8 hours in advance because that's the kind of suck up I've become in my old age.
It was nice to spend some quality time with the pups. I'm going to take them for a walk, although with my feeling junky and the near-tropical heat and humidity here it will perforce be a quick one.
