Slacker Shanghai Tai Tai
Wow - its been 5 days and NO BLOG! What!?!? I can't even take 30 minutes to write a blog a day or every other day? Can I say that I've been busy? Well kind of. And I haven't even had a massage in 2 weeks! I had a couple funny pictures to share, but I have them on my phone and who knew I needed MORE software to download in order to download pictures off my cell phone. Technology is wonderful and a pain in the ass. So I'll have to share my picture later.
Since the days are getting cooler, I have started walking Will to work. :) We then go to Starbucks and get coffee and have a nice little morning chat in the fish bowl and make bets on how many people will do a double take. Not just one glance, but a full on rubber necking episode. We've stopped betting - its no fun anymore - it happens too often.
So on our most recent walk on Friday morning we saw an interesting scene. I think that way back in a previous blog I showed all of you the busy intersection that we live in front of... Although early, by 645am things are starting to get moving - but unfortunately, the traffic is still moving somewhat quickly, so you have to be extra careful, because 1. There are not enough pedestrians out to make the traffic stop for them and 2. There are not many cars, and so the few cars there are are clipping along at a nice pace. We are waiting to cross and take a look to our left. A man starts walking, not across the street, but DIAGONAL across the intersection. He's waving this poll in the air and then it dawns on me - it is red and white and this guy is BLIND! Will and I watch in awe as the man proceedst wave his blind poll above his head as he walks through the middle of the intersection while people, bikes, cars and cement trucks are bobbing and weaving to miss this guy. This man is clearly older and by some miracle still alive. I tried to get a picture with my camera, but it serves no purpose - a short video would have been better.
My only other news is that I went to observe what will hopefully be my new job soon. I sat in on a prenatal class with soon to be manager Alice To. She really wants/needs me to start, but HR seems to be taking their time getting the official job "created." I'm being patient - which is surprising for me - but I'll keep everyone posted.
