I'm aware -
Dec. 29th, 2005 03:44 pmBeing able to go home at lunchtime to fix Jim a cup of tea and check on his status? Priceless.
The hell I'd complain about doing it.
Very lucky, I am. Six years ago? I'd have to call the police to check on Cliff at home because I was an hour's commute by train, plus the drive from the station home before I could get to him. And he was so much sicker, it's an order of magnitude.
I'd attribute it to hard work, but I'd also have to say I had something like this on my wish list for years before it could happen. I just never forgot.
I won't ever be famous, but at least I'll have some of the "creature comforts" I missed in the years prior -
It's a little thing. But..oh so huge. I can get home inside of 20 minutes. For real.
That's worth a few bucks to me.
