Baby on board

I had the an incredibly moving experience about 2 days ago. It's a bit odd mentioning now, I know, but I just remembered it so I fuigured that I'd write it. Even if I do seem a bit odd afterward.

My direct bosses (there are 2 of them) took the day off work and headed out to Exeter leaving me to run the place. A couple of months ago that would have been daunting (even if it is praqctically my job description) but by now it's old hat. I think in the last couple of months I must have had to deal with just about every single ludicrous occurence/excuse/problem you could come up with. You really wouldn't blieve the way that some people behave, or work, or just are. Anyway, I'm straying. My bosses took the day off. Before they left they asked me to do a small favour for them and pick up there kids from school. It's a long round trip (over an hour in the car) but I agreed to do it.

Now those of you that actually know me will also know that I'm not the biggest fan of children. I prefer dogs really. I mean, this is probably something that will change as I get older and my biological ticker decides that I need to fulfil the function for which I was put on this earth. Right now though I'm just not the biggest kiddie person.

What I wanted to mention though is the intense feeling that came over me when I was driving with these 3 children in my car. It was the strangest feeling. As corny as it sounds I felt like I was transporting the most precious cargo ever. It was a real mindjob. I was like driving 10 mph under the speed limit.

I regard this as quite a big point in my life. I realize things now that I never understood before. Even so... I still prefer puppies.
