She muses about the places she might next catch that lady with the sick daughter. An easy mark, that helpless woman who makes her job so enjoyable. She sinks back into her lawn chair, closes her eyes, her brain a bit warm and zingy with wine and power. She's not expecting a letter eloquently composed by a master writer and read aloud to her by her boss, who then leans back and writes out a warning ticket to Ms. Chavez. She's not expecting that at all.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247877396600721769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-83573748068127485722012-10-19T08:45:07.101-07:002012-10-19T08:45:07.101-07:00It's alomst like the universe is providing you...It's alomst like the universe is providing you with some kind of advanced prep - like the kind high school students sign up for before their college entrance exams - in dealing with people who feel that it is "not their job" to practice compassion or simple kindness.
