unresponsive rider

 the ride home tonight from work memorable, to say the least. a lady was found unresponsive by the fare enforcement team, sleeping on the seats. it was announced that we would be delayed, although the train did go one more stop and then we waited for the emergency vehicles to arrive. first i saw a fire truck, then an ambulance. hard to see anything when she was still on the train, aside from checking for a pulse. then she was carried out onto the platform after a few minutes, and we continued on. at work the notable things were being asked to print test checks late in the day. i asked if it could wait until the next morning, and i.t. was fine with that. also, because there was no file just yet. i said i had more time for it in the morning when there are no live checks to print. there was one file that i didn't let carry over until the next day, as it was the Canadian file. figured i should print before the end of the day even if i couldn't get it sent out same-day as i recall one time discovering a file for that business line a day late due to a bank holiday. meaning, i couldn't count on it becoming a 'red line' on the dashboard the next morning, reminding me it was still there. you do whatever works in terms of handling what is there. i can file it away overnight and then being it out the next day, it was ten checks. there was even a weird check copy request where it said 'respond to the link' except all i had at first was the wrong payee name and i asked for a check number. then for back-up purposes when it was found, i sent the copies to the original email and to the link. i drank the can of bent paddle with the evening meal and went to the liquor store and got a can of Budweiser, so there still are four beers waiting. during my walks i found 25 cents.
