Old Folks, Felons and Babies

It is a great opportunity to meet a wide swath of people while traveling for work. First thing this morning was waiting on the Boss to be on time, always a joy. Once on the road I enjoyed games of people watching and changing lanes while trying not to hit the reflectors. Best driver of the day award goes to "Lady Styling Hair and Using Hair-Spray @ 75MPH". I couldn't decide whether to speed away from her or let her pass and possibly get stuck behind a wreck she could cause. She passed me. Also on the road was a new personal favorite part of North Carolina for me, that would be Hobbton Highway. Tons of rundown homes, farms, shops, and one amazing school that always get me itching to pull over and take pictures. Alas, a schedule to stick to, I must. Although, the "SHERIFF LINE - DO NOT CROSS" tape with a ton of cars stopped around a building was VERY tempting to ignore my schedule for.

Nursing/Assisted Living homes are not my favorite places to be. Mostly the smell, partly the gurgling sounds from the elderly asleep in the hallway, minutely the blank gaze from the staff (with exception to the activities manager with too much coffee in her system). Add three cameras, get out before the lunch rush. Seriously, don't get between ten geriatrics in wheelchairs and their lunch, you will be run over.

Next stop is the Evergreen Rehabilitation Center. Prison "lite". Still a little unsettling with everyone leaning over me while I work. Unsettling till they pointed out how interesting the nutrition facts on the back of my shirt were. Here I was waiting to get "shanked" and really I'm just providing good reading material. A rat's nest of wires brought on a strong desire to cut it all out and redo the connections; the desire was pushed down and a power supply older than me was replaced, ignoring the connections. Never mind the camera on the pole that we had no ladder tall enough with which to reach.

Tomorrow there will be youngin's that we'll have to be mindful they don't follow us up the ladders or into the attic. I'll personally have to focus and not go into playtime mode so that things can be finalized and we can move onto the next daycare and hopefully be in position to start our next install at a truck leasing company. Good weather and safe travels are being asked for and a little help on that is never turned down. Still waiting to hear back on the teaching position in High Point and holding onto hope.

In conclusion, this doll.
