Pfffft
hey, Hec, guess who gave her notice yesterday and had her last day today?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Huh. Finally got my final grade for a class from last semester. Thought I was getting a C+. Got a B- instead. Rock.

Question for the hivemind....
As I was driving down the mainstreet near my house, a minivan pulled out of the Target parking lot and hit a honda civic pushing the civic across the street and around. The driver of the civic got out and took off running behind CVS, trying to get away.
I was immediately behind the civic and kept going because I have a kid who needs the potty.
Would you have called 911 on getting home (it was 1 minute from my house)?

Yeah, I would have called when I got home. Just to make sure.

When I got home, sure.
for the record, I'm 911 trigger happy due to my old neighborhood. I called 911 on noise issues several times a year, sometimes on something more serious. And ended up being served as a witness. So.

I did call and got a call back from the police. Apparently both parties had left the scene or they needed more precise locales, which I ended up giving using cardinal directions.
I wonder if neither driver had insurance (would NOT be a surprise in my 'hood) and so they both ended up taking off. Makes me feel like I should have pulled over or written down license plate numbers etc.
When it's all said and done, though, I'm not the person in charge of enforcing laws so I did the best I was going to do...right?

Yep, you did all you could and all that was expected. In fact, more than was expected, honestly.
I figure in calling 911, at worst they'll choose to ignore me if overwhelmed, at best I'm being a good citizen. I use 311 for the non-criminal or slow-response is OK stuff (like my damned trash cans.)
