I know some people get big feelings about being able to request women drivers, but I was really relieved to have that option especially since this is a novel experience.

Last week I asked for a raise. I have never done that before. I asked for way more than I thought I would get. Anyways, they gave me a little less than what I asked for, but they did give it to me! I was really surprised, and glad I didn’t have to job hop.

It happened early. My lovely supervisor was the only one in the building. The smell was so strong from the back door that the fire dept literally ran over from the station nearby. They said the building was at something like 26% concentration in one area and could have exploded and immediately evacuated her. I can’t get over how surreal that seems. It was intensely strong when I arrived but at that point they said we were allowed to go back in (seems crazy because the smell was still so strong). Apparently someone crashed a car into something behind the building over night (cars don’t go there) and caused it to build up to this point slowly. Alls fixed and no one hurt but…yeah.

I told her it all reminded me of the opening scene of a drama between a medical personnel and a firefighter.

As in go to the castle to fight the final battle. After hours of running around questing and occasionally just exploring aimlessly, I feel like that capstone ends the fun. Anyone else do this?
