My life is weird and I like it that way

[ridicully]

Hi! Still not dead, need to update more often, so much to write about, yaddi yaddah, everyone knows how this goes.

The reason I'm actually updating today is that I have to record what I did last night for posterity.

Because, whenever I imagined being collected by a police car at one on the morning (not that I make a habit of imagining things like this) serious business and drama were the things I mostly associated with it. Not so much hilarity and unexpected sweetness.

But there I was, at one at night in the back of a police car, in my scrubs and bright yellow crocs, with a gauntlets and a heavy towel in my hands, being driven to the site of an RTA where a second police car had set up some traffic cones to make a diversion around an injured cat in the middle of the road because the police were afraid of harming it further by touching it.

Surreal. Sweet. Hilarious.

Anecdote over, back to catching some sleep and then to work.

And the 2500km in four days roadtrip of hell I thought would be fun to make next week. I might even write an entry about it at some point.

Awwww. That's adorable.
Did the cat make it?

One of the policemen even wanted to adopt the little tortie. Seriously sweet.

Poor little thing had a broken spine in addition to all other injuries though. Very unlucky little cat :(

[mareen]

Ah no. :-(

YAY! Hero!You FTW!
I'm sorry you couldn't rescue the poor thing though.

I kind of want Hero!Me to have a cape and not walk around in those:



as a trademark ;)

Och, come on. All of those super hero costumes look ridiculous. Except Iron man.
And he doesn't have a cape anyway.
:D
And yellow? That is actually better than the light blue I often see in human hospitals around here;)

I could wrap my cape dramatically around my arm to avoid being maimed by cats though. Ridiculous but practical at the same time! Spandex on the other hand would just be cruel.

And our uniforms don't include shoes so after years of white Birkenstocks and MBTs I decided to go for "YOU WILL SEE ME COMING, IF YOU WANT TO OR NOT!". Got to take your kicks where you can get them.
