A Word to the Wise

[dogriver]

If you book Handi-Transit (pr ParaTransit, or Dial-A-Ride, or whatever
they call it for you) on a weekly basis for things such as work, and you
find yourself thinking, "I have until tomorrow to book, I'll do it
later", don't kid yourself. Do it now. Do it yesterday! Do it the day
before yesterday, just don't wait until the last minute, especially if
there exists the danger of sleeping through that last minute. It was
that kind of thinking that necessitated a $20 cab trip thir morning.
I've heard of some people who can phone their employer and say, "I'm
having trnasportation problems today, so I can't make it into work," and
their employer will say, "Okay, I understqand, we'll see you tomorrow."
I don't have such an employer, I've never had such an employer, I don't
envision a day when I ever will have such an employer. Now please,
someone, write me a message or send me a comment that will just
completely make my day!

I didn't get lunch money. I had to make friends with the janitor so he could hand me the scraps every day from the garbage cans. It was sad.

Oh, well then you just suck. I laugh at you.

Just see if I ever ask you to head up a feed-the-children campaign.

Like you would have before anyway.

You'll never know if I would have before, will you? There you'll be, lying awake nights wondering, "If only I hadn't said that, if only I hadn't laughed at him." You'll be picking up the phone and going "Bruce, please tell me ..." except I won't tell you because you don't know my phone number.

Small blessings. Small blessings indeed.
