This has ben an interesting (read: difficult) week at work, with most of my job involving putting out fires that other people had started. The, at the end of the day on Friday someone no call/ no showed to work and I had to go work their shift. Then I had to go to another property to fix something that again, wasn’t my fault. But, even if I was working the weekend I did find some of the things that happened highly entertaining.
At one point, while working in a very high-end condo, around 10:30pm this flashy and obnoxious guy came in with two gorgeous young scantily clad girls (I am assuming he has scads of money). As they walked through I noticed one of the girls was walking a few steps behind them and talking very loudly on the phone. Thats when I realized that she was having phone sex with someone as she walked through the lobby and waited for the elevator with her companions.
Really? This was the best time and place for this? As she strolled the streets of Downtown San Diego to get to someone’s house and into a lobby of a residential condo, she thought you know what I should do? I should call someone and have phone sex! I guess so, cause she was in the middle of the conversation and was still going strong when she entered the elevator with her friends and other residents that were in the elevator as it opened. I had to try very hard not to laugh as I tried to help the gentleman she was with because of all the ridiculous things she was saying. Highly amusing!
Soon after that a man came in and asked for directions. I gave him directions to the hotel he was looking for when he turned a bit away from the desk and started fiddling with his pants….a lot!
He then looked at me and told me he was having problems “adjusting his pants”.
Fantastic
I told him he could adjust to his hearts content at the hotel he was going staying at but that this lobby was not the right place for that.
Fast forward to the next day (today) where I had to go to a different property to pick something up from an employee. This employee is very chatty and very sweet. But often I find that when I see this person they tell me about incidents with residents that should be reported. I asked why these incidents weren’t being put in the log consistently and their response?
Well, apparently they are “psychic” and can sense when things are about to happen or if bad thing happen to people. They don’t like writing down bad incidents on paper and sending them to us like procedure states, because that is putting the incident out there into the universe and encouraging the “bad energy” to happen again.
Since I have to work yet another full shift at a property in Sunday, I can’t wait to see if that may also bring more pants adjusting or phone sex. If only I knew someone who was psychic that could tell me……

Choose Your Own Adventure Challenge!
Hi everyone! I know that this is a bit late, but here is EM’s Epic Choose Your Own Adventure Challenge for 2011! This is challenge that I think everyone, including myself, will have a blast participating in!
So the rules are pretty basic:

2. The level of participation:
Jungle Cruise Adventure (3 adventures), Indiana Jones Worthy Adventure (3-8 adventures), or To Infinity and Beyond Adventure! (8+ adventures)
3. Adventure = your willing participating in something that you normally would not do
4. You decide if it is an adventure. Everyone’s life is different and everyone’s sense of adventure is different. But if you say “yes” to something that you normally wouldn’t, that counts as your adventure.
5. Feel free to add a brief synopsis of your adventure at anytime!

Ole!
I went to dinner with a friend as a Mexican restaurant the other night. We meet about once a month to get together and catch up and usually everything goes extremely normally, like a regular night out that everyone expects.
What I should have counted on was that after so many nice, quiet and normal dinners, one of our dinners had to go off the rails.
We arrive and are seated and so far so good. We order our drinks and start talking about work, books, whatever…..and then the music starts. It’s like a karaoke/dance club moved in across the lobby. There I a dj announcing songs and trying o scratch and mix like he knows what he’s doing.
The lights are flashing, and bleeding across the hostess stand over to our table. Scantily clad people are pouring in like it is the hottest ticket in town , I had no idea 99 cent tacos were such a big draw.
After watching every one come in we decide to ignore what’s going on over there and focus on our conversation. A few minutes in out of the corner of my eye I notice a person standing near our table. Thinking he might be part of the wait staff I keep talking. A moment later the figure has inched closer, and then closer, and then we hear “Hello, would you like a balloon animal?”
Um…what? I am at a Mexican restaurant with a club attached to it and they also have a balloon animal maker wandering around? Since we are both adult women and have no children with us apparently we looked like we needed balloon animals. We politely decline and he then starts offering us a few more options.
“Want to hear some funny jokes?”, he asked.
“No”
“Sure you don’t want a balloon animal?”
“Yup”
Finally he departed from the table only to be replaced with a random woman handing us a flier for her R&B band that performs on Saturdays.
“We’re the best band playing R&B here on Saturdays”
“Are you the only one?,” I asked
“Yes”
“Check please”.
This is the most entrepreneurial chain Mexican restaurant in the history of chain Mexican restaurants.

Coffee Part 2
Today I was given to coffee again…. (why do people keep giving it to me and why do I keep drinking it?)
So, hyped up on coffee here is what I did today:
I met the Cat in the Hat
I danced with a robot
I took a picture with an elf and a penguin
And then put a turtle on my head
Met the “For Dummies” logo character
Tried to see what someone was reading
Swooned over Nathon Fillion promoting reading
And somehow, this qualifies me to be a librarian. New career path!

I bought this shirt tonight......
It is a combination of many things I love, sharks, musicals and ringer tees. Thanks West Side Story!
