Good afternoon my gentlemen.. I just got back home last night around midnight from a week-long work engagement in Newport Beach. While there, I was informed that I am now headed to Boise, Idaho for a week long engagement on another client there. Whew… This internship is wearing me out!
Let me fill you in on what is happening right about now. I have just been evacuated from my condo complex as my neighbors condo caught on fire and they made all units on each side of hers evacuate!! Worst of all, to top it all off, I was “making myself happy” when it happened! You see, we have these fire alrams that go off all the time in this complex, if someone burns something on their stove, it goes off and so on. So when it went off I thought nothing of it. In fact, I kept about my “business” until I heard sirens and someone knocking on my door. It was the fireman telling me I needed to leave until they could get the fire under control! So,here is sit as my car is blocked in my 4 fire trucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance. Unfortunately my neighbor suffered smoke inhalation and now I am sure that my house smells like smoke itself and I can only hope that they will let me back into it as soon as they get this fire under control. They got here soon enought o contain it to just her place, but trust me, it is not fun getting caught with your proverbial pants down… This is just the half of it! While in Newport Beach, I somehow managed to smash my finger in the renal car door that my team frove around in while there. Luckily, I think the worst that will happen is that I will lose my fingernail, but lets just say that it didn’t feel very good. And, it was the finger that I had the tomato incident with last year! Go ahead, its ok, laugh…. Yes, I have already had a good laugh about it as this kind of stuff only happens to me. However, one good thing did happen. On the flight back out of Santa Ana last night, after I was seated and all buckled in awaiting my plance to back out of the gate, the flight attendant approaches me and tells me she has another seat for me. I am a bit confused as to this as I was quite happy with my little seat that I had and I was sitting next to one of my co-workers. I look at her with a puzzled look upon my face but she reassures me and tells me she has another seat for me. I cautiously get up as I was afraid that I was in trouble for something. Instead, I get moved up to first class!! Apparently the pilot asked her to move me. I don’t know what I did except for smile at him when he greeted all the passengers as we stepped into the plane. Granted, I did not argue nor did I put up a fight when offered a nice glass of Malbec from Argentina. I just sat there with my purple fingernail and smiled…
So, there is a quick summary of my week. Though there are more stories, I will save them for when I see you. I am hoping to be able to get back into my most likely smoke-filled house as soon as possible. At least this time they didn’t come upstairs and see my webcam, sheets and laptop! Can’t wait to see you and hope it will be tonight if all goes well… Wish me luck please.. its ok to chuckle, like I said, I already have myself.. See, my life is a sitcom…. All my love, your dead-tired, purple fingernailed, displaced but at least got her “O”, Mady
