Parking at our school is frustrating. Two little, tiny parking lots on opposite ends of the building. In between our building and our admin. building, another small lot, but for some reason we are not suppose to park there. Now....new city rule.... parking is prohibited on all other streets, except the Central Business District. when a snow emergency is declared.
Soooooo....if you are like me and you don't get to school early(I am more of a stay late person than come early).....that doesn't leave very many places to park.
My parking spot, one block over on a side street and I walk down that street and over to the crosswalk where the crossing guard(Marie) is waiting for me. She says, " Good Morning Mary! How are you today?" Now every morning when we greet each other and have a short conversation I think of the woman who drives The Energy Bus because Marie is just like her.
Nice connection. Do you see it as a negative or a positive walk? I am guessing on these cold days is not so fun to walk that distance. Just refer to her as Joy one morning and see how she responds.
ReplyDeleteWay to be positive Mary!! I'm the type that always stays late too, and now I'll have to think of you when I'm walking in and walking out (there's usually NOBODY else around).
ReplyDeleteYes, we can complain about our lot in life and the things that happen to us, or we can find the positive in every situation. I am lucky. We have a huge parking lot, and a fob to open a door fairly close to my room, so I don't have to walk the entire building to get to my room. Hang in there! Spring is on its way, and soon we'll all be looking for a chance to spend more time outside! Janet
