It was a pretty okay morning, it seemed that everyone was following the rules & doing what they were supposed to, with the exception of the big mixer trucks that think the speed limit doesn't apply to them & speed through the 20mph school zone doing well over that! My cohort, Cara, left towards the end because she wasn't feeling so hot, but my other cohort, Laura, stayed & helped me through the end of drop off.
Almost as soon as that "switch" was made, it seemed like people decided they could do what they want. Someone coming out of the school wanted to turn left, even though there is a big orange cone sitting in that lane to avoid turns & Laura & I are pointed for them to turn right. They were really determined to make that left turn & kept coming toward the cone. What? Were they going to try to drive through it?
And then, at the last minute, maybe 1 minute before the bell, the same gentleman from the other day who turned behind me into the school (the left turn) & I was yelling at him a few inches from his window... he tried it again. Only this time I was on it. I waved him through-- straight. Laura picked up on what was happening & stood, just so, & he couldn't make that left hand turn. Poor thing. He had to follow the rules & get in the proper lanes. All I can say to that one is HA!! Maybe this will teach you to follow the rules.
Other than that all is well in the crossing guard world. A new hire gets her fingerprints done tomorrow so hopefully she will be joining us very soon!! Yay!
Feel better, Cara!
And until next time, have a wonderful day & remember always -- Safety First!
