Ahhh the plight of the useless...

Does anyone else out there feel bad for the school crossing gaurd? I mean I see a couple of them every morning when I'm handing out candy in front of the elementary school by my house... I mean when I'm walking to work and they just seem so damned unecessary. I mean the kids don't wait for them to put that damn big sign up before the start crossing. Nobody does... so sometimes when I'm walking to work I'll wait on the corner until they get out in the middle of the street and put up that big sign and wave me across.... I've never seen someone so happy to be in the middle of traffic... when I get to the other side of the street, her lips said good morning but her eyes said thanks for validating my exsistence...

You're welcome my orange clad diva, you are welcome.

Did anyone else, when they were younger, think that crossing gaurds were just really big fans of the words STOP? (props to Skimz for getting me to add this part back in)
