Happy Monday!
Today was busy but noticeably slower…so that was very good.
I stayed out in the parking lot for 2 hours and then made the call that the
parking lot will survive without me. In accordance with my hypothesis, it did.
Over the last few months, one of the biggest needs I have identified in the parking
lot is to clear the intersection when the Island Explorer shuttle buses need to
leave the stop and continue on their routes. The task simply involves making an
X with my arms so approaching cars stop before they drive into the middle of
the intersection, stop, let all of their passengers get out, and then continue
driving past the conveniently located designated unloading zone on the way to
finding a parking spot. If you ever think it is a good idea to unload your passengers in the middle of an intersection where buses need to leave, realize that is a terrible idea. Don't do that, or else parking attendant Adam will have to tell you to move along.
After work I went for a bike ride. I wanted to verify the advice I've been telling bikers about the route from Jordan Pond to Bubble Pond to Eagle Lake and back. I've run that route a few times, but biking is a pretty different experience. I will continue to advise the route with the caveat that it is not flat and thus is not suitable for complaining children.
Today was "Christmas in the Park." We had a dorm party this evening complete with a "Yankee Swap", lots of cookies, a turkey dinner, and beverages. I'm not quite sure how I felt about the "Christmas" party. There was no mention of the Christ part of Christmas so it felt like the celebration was incomplete. We were celebrating American traditions and not the coming of the Savior of the world (small wonder none of the Eastern Europeans in the dorm joined in the party). In other words, I felt like the party missed the point of Christmas.
