What now?

Sigh. My favorite pressmen Kirk is going to Dayshift...starting Friday!!!! I knew it was going to happen, I just didn't expect it this soon. What am I going to do now? There are things that Kirk does that the other night pressmen don't...like coming to get plates at midnight when things are running late from editorial. Like putting on plates soon after he gets them. It so irks me when I've busted my aching buns to get plates out there and they're left to sit while they go take a smoke break. This is ok if we're on time, but the incident I'm thinking of was a night when we were running late.

And I wonder if I'll get to see him any more at all. The last time he was on days, for the six week rotation that they all had to go through, I only saw him once and that was a fluke b/c he was leaving later then usual and I was earlier than usual. Of course, I was moving at taht time and didn't have time to stop by like I have a habit of doing. I did try calling though, and he was never home! Maybe I ought to just give him my number and say, "If you ever miss me, give me a call."

I got at least three smiles from him tonight. Not that I was counting. Or looking for them. :)



ps. Jean-Luc, I did reply to your comment down below.

I think you should give him your number. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I would say this move is his last chance. If he fails to respond after giving your number, you should definately move on.

well, that's exactly what I did. I wrote it down on a piece of paper and gave it to him right before I left. Now --- the waiting! Tonight is his last night, and I have off, but if Jerry says it's ok, I might bake up some brownies and take them in for the crew...a pitful farewell after 20+ years on nightshift, but it's all I got. It's the thought that counts, right?

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
