But I did have an adventure on the walk. There were four small boys waiting at a bus stop and one asked if I had a tissue. As I gave it to him I noticed his lip was bleeding. I asked what happened. He pointed to another kid and said, “He hit me.” But he smirked a bit. So I asked if he himself had started it. His friends laughed. The boy asked me why I wanted to know.
I said, “Because I want to know who to arrest.” They laughed. I said, “Go ahead and laugh. I’m a copper. Yes, I’m an old copper but a cop nonetheless. So who should I arrest.”
“You really a copper?”
I boldly lied and said “Yes.” I think they believed me. That was fun.
Work went by so quickly I just couldn’t believe it. I look forward to others returning to the office, so I can do my own job. Tomorrow Simon and Claire will be there, so I can do some other work.
And tomorrow night I won’t have to walk home with my computer on my back. Since I’ll be taking the train to Chorley after work, and will probably get home at 11 PM or so, there’s no way I’ll have time to work on my computer at night. Hooray. I’ll feel a lot lighter.
