Bad timing

yawarakai

So this week I am volunteering at the local MDA lockup. I am going out in my Aux. uniform and serving the warrants on the executives and bringing them back so they can raise cash for Jerry's Kids. The local security company is donating patrol vehicles and drivers for us so I don't have to worry about parking just walk in serve the warrant and bring them back.
Today I hot a local Catholic high school for their principal. Next door to the school is a church where they were having a funeral. I walk in and go to the office, the secretary takes photos and makes the announcment that the principal is being arrested, look out the front window. We head to the patrol car and as I am helping her into the back we have 100+ kids leaning out the window cheering and yelling "Take her away...." The people in the funeral gave us the dirtiest looks....

My landlords dog was just kit by a car. They took him to the vet and they were not home for 30 minutes and he started coughing up blood. they went to take him back to the vet which is 4 blocks away and he didnt make it. My dog is seriously depressed and I liked him he was a 3 year old poodle griffin mix. I feel sad and I hope it was quick.

Angus Broon of Glasgow comes to the little lady of the house
exclaiming "Maggie, cud ya be sewin on a wee button thats
come off of me fly I canny button me pants. "

"Oh Angus...I've got me hands in the dishpan, go up the stairs
and see if Mrs. MacDonald could be helpin ya with it"

About 5 minutes later there's a terrible crash, a bang, a bit
of yelling and the sound of a body falling doon the stairs.
Walking back in the door with a blackend eye and a bloody
nose comes Angus.

The little lady looks at him and says "My god, what in hells

"Aye" says Angus.."I asked her to sew on the wee button an she
did, everything was goin fine but when she bent doon to bite
off the wee thread... Mr. MacDonald walked in...

Ok, I have known for about a year or so that my job would either be ending soon or would be getting cut back but I really thought I would get another couple years out of it at worst.

Well, I got the notice yesterday that my hours have been cut exactly in half. Much better than no job at all thats for sure but it comes at a bad time with all the medical bills for my wife..

I do make a good wage so even at half time I probably make more than some folks who bust their * all week but the timing still sucks.

Anyways I am gonna be posting a few items on the Auction side of the house for sale in the next couple days so if you see something you like please feel free to bid. I wont be offended I promise LOL..

I will post a link when I get them all up.. Nothing to write home to mama about, couple firearms maybe a knife or 2.

If you think you had bad timing, imagine how the deceased felt.[:0]

Don't worry...there was nothing you could do. They chose to have a funeral during school hours (near a school)....super smart move. They should have expected SOMETHING...kids are either shocked by the idea of death, or completely disrespectful of the mourning funeral attendants. My three fit in BOTH of these categories at a recent funeral (my Grandfather's.) One was terrified, the second was chasing the third around the halls of the funeral home. I was having some bi-polar moments...puckered lipped, under my breath, threats to the two...and sympathetic petting to one.

Kids are what they are....insane. The people in the wrong were the ones that decided on the funeral time. They HAD to know the kids were there and NOBODY can predict what they will do.

These things are a cute idea, but I can't support them, for the very reason that this sort of thing tends to happen--a bit too often.

Beyond that, I don't agree with the idea of holding somebody hostage for donations, even if the parties are 'willing.'

A few years ago I was working at a state University, and one of the teaching assistants was 'arrested' under such a scheme. He never should have allowed it to happen, but the bottom line is that two or three students had a fun prank and the other 21 missed a class session that they paid for, many of them with borrowed money. This is probably best blamed on the instructor.

Anyway, cute idea, but bad in practice.

just my $0.02.

I did this when the Cancer Drive went on many many many years ago. Head Inspector was arrested in the factory. Cost me $50 bucks and well worth it. Head Boss was livid mad but got over it.
