It was interesting for me to find out that my reflexes are pretty quick. It's amazing how fast you can jump if you need to.
I think if I was watching me from across the street, the leap would have looked quite comical.
:D

Be careful. DL may want to hire you away for Autopia.

lol! :D

My leap wasn't all thaat graceful, now that I think of it. I kind of looked like a giraffe on ice leaping out of the way of an oncoming zamboni.
:D

A Zamboni is probably twice the size of a Mini though.

And G.C. is a tenth the size of a giraffe.



So that all works out mathematically, no?

Though you do. ;)

GC - you didn't injure yourself at all, leaping from death? No whiplash next day, I hope?

Thankfully, my coworkers and bosses all understand and I'm not fired. In fact, today I was officially invited to a city council meeting next month to celebrate my 5 years here. They gave me a 5-year pin, and my boss threw confetti at me. :D I guess I'm easily distracted - as soon as I got the pin my day turned right around.

I did jaywalk today though, and was extra careful of Mini Coopers.

A long time ago when I was still working at BR I had to help the nastiest lady. I don't know what her problem was, but after getting my head bit off over asking her if she wanted a lid for whatever it was she was ordering I finally told her that I didn't get paid enough to deal with her crap.

Same store I used to get crapped on by our cake decorator (god nazi for those of you who remember). I finally grew a set and told her to quit taking her unhappiness with life out on me and to do something about it.

I was totally expecting to wake up with a sore ankle, but I'm fine.

I wished I did one of those cool karate rolls and then boom back on my feet again... but I didn't.
:D

Haha, BTD's story reminds me of one of the cashiers that works at Longs by my house now. The other day, when I was buying some birthday cards, she suddenly blurted out "I hate it when people have to work like this and don't get paid enough."

She must have been at the end of her rope!

A set of what? Steak knifes? New Orleans Square Trading Pins?
