Cindy,

Glad to hear it!

Sometimes, honestly, given the alternatives and possibilities, it's actually
sort of refreshing to find out a possible brewing civil rights violation is
just, you know, simple ignorance.  I guess it's true!  Ignorance is bliss!
Or at least much less inconvenient than mean-spirited bigotry leading to
lawbreaking.  Sigh.

Then again, some of the stuff ignorant people come up with is pretty
puzzling, even after you work out the details and move on.  /lol/  There are
a few things people have come up to me and said and done that had the effect
of being minor diversions along my way...  But every now and then I will
catch myself going over some dang thing that happened a couple of years back
now, working through it in my memory play by play trying to figure out what
the other person could *possibly* have been thinking!  /lol/  It's not
whatever it is that they said or did that is bothering me, and I usually
wasn't even upset at the time, just ...  puzzled.  /smile/
 
When you don't know how it's all going to turn out, though, asking questions
and considering and trying to figure out what's what and what to do about is
just good sense.  I think the expression in vogue is "being proactive."
/grin/

Then again, I am the sort of person who will contact poison control and then
keep right on going and call the cops on mulch in case it kills my guide dog
when she has to go out before bed.  /lol/  Better safe than sorry, I say.
Better to be informed than ignorant, especially when it comes to The
Precious.  Be proactive!

Still, I have a hard time not feeling like a total fool because what, in
fact, actually happened is that I called the cops on mulch!  /lol/  Once,
just once, I want to pull one of these stunts, find out that everything is
safe and it's all okay, but at least the end of the story will be something
glamorous.  /grin/

Goddy job, Cindy!

Well, I went to the training. If you go to the orientation, you are in. By
then you have passed through that gate and have a liaison. I hae been given
the name of mine at the Hospice house, and I E-mailed her when I got home.
So I probably over reacted, though I still find the whole thing a little
puzzling. I am more convinced than ever that ignorance and over kill are the
answer.
