I've missed you...

So time to play a little game I like to call Catch-up...

Tuesday: Ladies and Gentleman, can I have your attention please...The one and only Ms. A.G.Schifferdecker has performed her greatest feat yet...She has successfully parallel parked a Uconn Bus...
Thats right, laugh if you want because I agree that the thought of me driving a bus is pretty damn funny. Driving brings out the New Yorker in me because I can't go out for a ride without yelling some profanity because the idiot in front of me decided not to use their blinker. So now if anyone makes me mad...I have a few tons of reasons for them to drive faster. This bad boy has enough power to unleash my wrath and then some... Don't mess with me because I WILL run you over. OK? 0:) In all seriousness though, I know I am going to love this job and do my best to be good at it. I get paid to drive around, how cool is that? Pretty sweet if you ask me, not to mention that we are the highest payed employees on Campus. I guess there was a reason behind my denial of a job at the Visitor's center...Plus I hear the boss is difficult...Everything happens for a reason...

My sister graduated tonight from high school and is now officially a part of UCONN!!! We went to the Bushnell and it was a really nice ceremony, even depite the fact that the principal, who I like to refer to as the bumbling fool, messed up his introductions. We had a very enjoyable ride home, all three of us Schifferdecker kids sitting in the back seat laughing and quoting movies...I love my family...

On another note, creatively, I made a collage of the novio and I. Tony was speechless and I was happy...needless to say we both went to bed with smiles on our faces...

Wednesday: What a pleasant surprise...
So this week for some reason, Express decided to give me shotty hours. Last night I had to work from 6 to close... and I have the pleasure of doing it all over again Friday night...oh the joy is overwhelming. So anyways, my co-workers told me that I looked a lot better than I did last week, and that is a good sign. Slowly but surely I am getting better. I normally have to wear heels or some sort of fashionable shoe..we all know that fashion does not necessarily equal comfort so as soon as the last customer left the store, I put on flip flops. So as I was finishing up putting the tanks in order on the front bunker because the place looked like a warzone of clothes, I turned around to look out the window and there was Tony...I wanted to jump out of the store and be like see ya! and just escape with him. I had to stay until everyone else was done but it was definately motivation to work faster. We sat and talked in my car for a bit and he gave me a dvd to watch so I have something to keep me occupied while I rest. He is so good to me...by far the best part of the day;)
Wasn't lookin for what I found, But I found you and I'm bound to find happiness in being around you...cause since the day you came, I've been glad...

So this brings me to today...

I don't know what it was but I had a serious case of the giggles...I guess it all stemmed from the histerical fact that I am going to be driving buses. I came down to dinner and I could not stop laughing. Then I got my mom laughing because she knows how I am when I drive. We were talking about post training and how she could imagine the trainer sitting in the back of the bus strapped down with a helmet on just to be safe...Now wait here is an even better picture...I had a professor who told us this story about his travels to Spain and riding the buses over there. The first was about a bus and a car merging into a single lane road. The bus let the smaller car go because he was reving the engine and the bus driver figured he would continue to go fast, however when he got in front of the bus, he slowed to a crawl. The bus driver needless to say got real angry, so he sped up and hit the car from behind. The fun didn't stop there. The bus driver and the other driver got out of their respective vehicles and continued to have an all-out fist fight right in the middle of the road. Meanwhile, all of the passengers in the bus were cheering on their driver. When the brawl ended, the bus driver returned to the bus and continued on. Another story was about how buses would also fight for passengers and race each other from stop to stop. Half the time the bus would leave the stop with passengers half on the bus..one guy was even holding on to the railing because if he let go he would have flown out the door. THAT is going to be my bus...

Well thats it for now...I'll update if I think of anything I missed...

Laughter is the best medicine...
