I spent most of the day moving heavy stuff around at school, and therefore am extremely tired.
The office looks *awesome*, and office!naps are of a special and very nice breed.
I went to meeting at church today and saw E, whose mom died a bit over a week ago. She seemed to be doing okay, which is good. Deacon's teenage daughter is in the hospital, so I will pray for her.
On my way home, I had to wait *forever* for the bus. I probably just missed one going by. Then, we got stuck behind an accident, and had to change busses so we could detour around it. All in all it took a really long time to get home tonight. Bleh.
My roomie, la EBK, is awesome and brought me home an LOLCATZ book.
Hai!

Bus Shenanegans ala Rudeness
Friday night, I was taking the bus home. It was late, but I guess rush hour was still in effect, because there was a chunk of the trip where the bus was *packed* and standing room only.
I kept looking at this one particular woman on the other side of the bus, who had taken up an entire seat for her bags. I kept glancing over every once in awhile to see if, perchance, she might do the right thing and move her stuff so someone could sit down.
She never did. And no one ever, that I saw, asked her for that seat. I almost wish I hadn't gotten a seat when I got on the bus - I feel like I definitely would have asked her for the seat. I am finding it hard to fathom how someone would not be really, honestly embarrassed by acting so rudely. Maybe it's because people get away with it - most of us have trouble calling other people on their rudeness - as exemplified by that seat remaining empty throughout the trip.
Not that I'm always the most considerate person - but I do make an effort. We're all in this world together, I feel like we should act that way.
Okay, stepping off my high horse.

Ew. Just ew.
For sure, the buses of Portland, Or. do not tend to be ridden with overly shenanegous behaviour. However, today I saw the most disgusting thing I think I have ever seen.
There was a man sitting in the back of the bus spitting. There was spit globbed on the window next to him. Spit globbed on the floor underneath him. It was really, really disgusting.
I'm not sure what it says about our society that none of us passengers said anything.
