A new appreciation for "working the corner"

This pic is sideways mostly because I cant get my pic software to work but i figured it was appropriate to reflext how sidways my day was. I am an instructional tutor....language arts tutor to k-4. I do that most of the day with a couple recesses thrown in every day to make me question my sanity. Well. I got to step in a be crossing guard this morning before school. All tutors have been trained but it has been years since I have been called.. Well, let me tell you.. these people are way under paid...this crosssing is on one of the busiest intersections in the state. logging trucks, construction trucks, cars cars cars... and only about a third of them are paying attention and seeing me, geeze...when I have to step out on the curb and look behind me to see if the drivers actually have seen me step out.....and on the days in the winter that we keep the kids inside because its too cold, these ladies have to be out there.... so next time you drive past a crossing guard, give them a honk and a wave......
I get to "work the corner" LOL tomorrow morning once again!! Lecture over..
