Catching up the last few days

 Work has been alright except for another associate dumping work on me.  I got in trouble yesterday because I had not been able to do that in addition to my "real" work so I was a little irked about that. They hire these young kids who do nothing but gossip and talk on their cell phone constantly and then I have to clean up their messes. I don't think that's fair but is it MAJOR?  No.  

And, when lecturing me, my boss (for the first time) said "You are a hard worker and a very nice person but..." but she has never prefaced anything with a compliment first just gone straight to the criticism.  So she is trying, I think.  I don't envy her one bit, I think my job is bad...

Transportation has been fine.  I have been mixing up what I give the drivers.  Candy every day, one day with New Testaments, one day with Scripture booklets. I did a small Bible Handout yesterday at the transit center.  No one came running up to chase me off so I was right that I can do that.  

I had stuff I had bought with my own money.  So when an older black man came up and asked for "whatever I could spare I know some people..." I was able to give him everything I had left.  He knows people I don't; can go where I can't.  Plus God gave me a Yes on that.  He had a little boy with him. 

It started raining after I gave him the material (some Bible studies on John and a half dozen or so New Testaments, I couldn't bring a lot because it had to go to work first) so I went to"my" bus shelter and waited, he came with me and the little boy, who had a Bible name.  The man looked up schedules on his cell phone while the little boy came over with his truck and wanted to play with me.  

Normally I am uncomfortable interacting with little kids but he was cute and God gave me a Yes on that too so we played with the truck until my bus came.  My driver was a pretty cranky fellow who shouted at customers, honked his horn a lot, etc.  I was glad I had given him a Scripture booklet.  

And I had the poor Latina lady again.  Monday a Latina lady got off at my home bus stop and was completely freaked out that I got off, too, and "followed" her. I was just going home; she didn't see that.  She was freaked out enough she took a later bus yesterday but so did I due to the Bible handout.  So she was really freaked out looking over her shoulder.  I am a white middle aged lady.  I can't imagine what she would have done if I'd been a young Black man. 

She needs to get better at threat assessment.  A middle aged white lady who is cleanly dressed is not likely to be a a threat.  My hair was clean and styled, my clothes were fresh that morning, etc.  I was wearing Sketchers which are not cheap, either. At least not to me.  

Oh and a hair pic.  I had someone take a a photo in the breakroom.  It had been hours since I had done it up so it's a little unraveled but you get the idea.  It has been working for me, I may keep doing this. The only minus I can see there is a weird white lady at work.  She likes to tell me about her dog's digestive upset and her family sounds completely dysfunctional.  A couple years ago her very large adult autistic son came into the store, pitched a fit, and destroyed a display.  They had to throw him out; and she keeps bringing him into the store. Anyway this lady also wears her hair in a similar braid and I don't want people to think I am emulating her.  

I am glad I don't have a big bald patch I was worried about that. But it is out of the way, it worked really well on the Handouts so I carried it over.  Only minus the end does flip around and smack me on the side of the face when I bend over.  But it's working for now.  

I got home OK (rain dried up pretty quick), went to bed early, slept alright except for waking up a few times.  I had the cats with me which is always a bonus.  

I got paid today so I plan to do my "heavy" shopping after work and get a ride home.  I am thinking about getting some posterboard so I can make a Free Bibles sign in Spanish. I got some wide tip markers the other day at work so I can do that I just need the board. And I want to get a gallon of milk, some bread, etc. stuff that doesn't ride well on the bus. 

I need to call my cab guy and get that set up when I get to work.  

I have my candy done up getting to work at least, and 1-2 for the ride home. The cab driver has encouraged me to give his teen boys the candy + scripture booklets.  

That's it for now!
