08:15 Mrs J leaves the house to get the train to work (day 11)
08:17 Mrs J gets picked up, IN HER VILLAGE, BY CHANCE, BY A COLLEAGUE, ON THE STREET! This never happened before, ever, during the 11 years she’s been going to work this way.
It happened here. Coincidence? Probably. Miracle? Let's say yes!
08:18 Mrs J contemplates her luck/the irony of finding a colleague that passes through her village every morning at about the same time, in the last two weeks of her employment.
08:39 Mrs J arrives at work way earlier than expected.
09:58 Mrs J waves to Robin arriving, through the window.
Who comes, who goes - and when? Only Mrs J knows....
Today is the last day Mrs J will share an office with Robin, because Robin is going on holiday for two weeks.
10:15 Mrs J starts some work.
10:25 Mrs J drops work and checks out CNN.com.
11:54 Mrs J prods Robin to go for lunch (reserved for 12:45). Tries to find address and fails.
12:06 Robin leaves to get cash and the car.
12:15 Mrs J finds address, picks up print and runs to catch Robin in car.
12:17 Mrs J catches Robin at car.
12:27 Robin finishes reciting numbers on car insurance papers to boyfriend via phone. Robin in bad mood. Boyfriend in trouble.
12:30 Robin finds Navi CDs under drivers seat. Boyfriend has no idea. The depth of trouble he’s in, it’s deep y’all.
12.31 Mrs J and Robin depart to get gas.
12:45 Robin tries to convince Mrs J to call restaurant.
12:47 Robin calls restaurant.
13:05 – 14:15 Robin and Mrs J have really nice lunch at restaurant.
14:25 Robin runs over roadwork cone. Roadworkers have no idea. Roadworkers would have been in trouble with Robin, but no damage done. Roadworkers safe. Boyfriend safe. (It’s a new car).
14:30 Mrs J goes back to work.
14:45 Mrs J drops work and checks out the standings of the TdF.
16:55 Mrs J says goodbye to Robin.
17:01 Mrs J cries a little tear on her way out (she didn’t want Robin to see it).
17:02 Mrs J gets a ride BY CHANCE DIRECTLY FROM WORK TO HER VILLAGE! This is highly unusual, but it has happened before. She now knows she’ll get home quickly. IF she gets there.
17:07 Mrs J’s life flashes before her eyes as the car driven by her colleague flashes through the road tunnel.
17:12 Mrs J arrives in her village. Pulse 180.
And what happened from here on today will be the subject of another post, maybe later this weekend.
At this point, Mrs J would just like to say again to Robin: It’s been a treat! And don’t forget ….
Tune in tomorrow .... same bat-time ... same bat-channel!
