Heidi's right; this life is not for wimps!
Let me put up a photo of my new sign, and tell you all about my day.
I'll talk about the sign, because it's right there. I went with the larger size, and the flourescent pink. It's a very "loud" color. I had a wide-tip marker, which I used for the lettering. I don't think I do the best lettering but I alway pray and ask God for help before doing my signs.
I worry that "Bibles" is too small. However, the sign you see to the left, this one:
will be set up before my handout area, pointing the way. Then I'll be up there with Big Pink and the tote bag. I feel that's the sign God wants me to use.
So, I got up at 3, and did my God Time. We had donuts today; so an early pickup. I had enough time to bag up some Bibles, and plenty of candy. We had very nice drivers all day long.
Everyone was happy to get their Bible or scripture booklet. I'm running a little depressed; it came out as a little more irritable. I think I did a decent job of hiding it.
So, we got to work and I got the donuts. I took them back to Ron and he asked me about his wheelchair. He wanted his Christmas lights (and garland), on the wheelchair. I set them up and got it looking great. Everyone who came into our area stopped dead, gaped a second (Ron in the wheelchair, festively lit and decorated), and then grinned. I'm glad we did it early. Saturday, I'll decorate the machines like I did last year.
I did the snack machines. They look good.
The repairman (bad plunger on coffee machine) and the sandwich guy showed at the same time. Sandwich guy, MY guy, is gone. I am bummed. I REALLY liked him. The new guy is not very efficient; today he forgot the tacos. So, [sigh] we'll see him AGAIN on Wednesday. I am especially annoyed because I can tell he has FAS. I really knew when he was having hysterics on the dock, trying to find the receipts. We are terrible with paperwork.
Got all of them managed, and stocked the food machines. Then I did the sodas, always and ever assisting Ron on an as-needed basis. He lost his badge (it's been turned off), so I have to "escort" him. Today I "escorted" him pushing him in his travel wheelchair.
We went out to the pickup area and there's Metrolift. Nice driver. The passenger is not my favorite guy - he's one of those ignorant, very opinionated guys. I have given him at least a couple of New Testaments, Scripture booklets, etc as led by God. We had a straight trip to the bank (we deposited some change).
We had a LONG wait at the bank. I went to the store and bought a snack, then gave the cashier/manager a bag of candy. He was squinting at the Scripture booklet as I left. I wonder if I will be welcome there again?
Our ride finally came and off to the store. They sell posterboard and do laminating. I bought a posterboard, made the sign, and had it laminated. It "shouldn't" rain on Thursday.
I had enough time to walk over to a McDonald's. Ron wanted a burger, and so did I. I got ours, and an extra for the driver. If I'm at a foodplace around lunchtime, I always try to get the driver a snack.
I saw a woman in a Metrolift uniform buying a soda, I asked if she was picking us up. She was. I gave her "her" burger - she ate the whole thing by the time I got back out with Ron! She was a new driver, and very nice. I gave her some candy, too. She really acted like it was a big deal.
I don't think it is. I just try to treat everyone the way I'd treat Jesus!

Definitely... I would love to get a "during" but I don't want to scare the Normals. :)
