I worked quite last night, until 10:30 p.m. Since I don't have lights on my bike, the firm paid for me to take a cab home. The attorney for whom I was working chivalrously escorted me downstairs to wait for it.

"You know, you don't have to wait with me for the cab," I told him when we got down to the street. "It'll be along in a moment, and the security guard is right there inside the door."

"Oh, I'm not going to leave you out alone on the street, Peg," he protested.

"Well," I told him diffidently, "of course if anyone hassles me, I can just kick them in the head."

He laughed. "That's right. Maybe you should be protecting me."

That's such a nice feeling, isn't it? Every so often someone offers to walk me to my door or something, and it feels pretty good to say, "Seriously, I'll be fine."

Heh. It's in our union contract that if we are asked to work overtime on a regular work day they have to give us dinner money and a cab home if it's after dark. Plus the time-and-a-half.

Weekend work (or any day you would not normally work, if you don't work M-F) is double time, and for a minimum of 3 hours.
