What a week it has been already and it is only Tuesday
Mood:  caffeinated
I came into work yesterday after a nice relaxing weekend to find this. Graffiti

Those pictures are only a fraction of what was destroyed. They painted all the fixtures and wall sockets and then smeared feces all over the walls. I just don't understand the mentality of the people who would do something like this. I figured it must be teenagers with nothing better to do with their time. I called the police who came out and confirmed that the markings were not gang related. Both of us agreed that their mommas didn't raise them right.

Then my boss called me about 8:45. His normal report time is usually 8AM. He informed me that his wife was ill and he had just left the house. I then panicked because we were having a LTC from Nashville flying in to visit and Tom was suppose to pick him up at the airport at 9:05. This was our conversation.

Me: "Are you headed to the airport then?"
Tom: "No? Why would I be going to the airport?"
ME: "To pick up the LTC from Nashville."
Tom: "That isn't until the 17th."
Me: "Tom, today is the 17th."
Tom: "Are you sure. I thought the 17th was Wednesday?"
Me: "Nope, Wednesday is the 19th."
Tom: "SHIT!"

Tom hurried into the office, Grabbed our co-op Josh and ran out the door to go to the airport. He called me from the road saying he just got a call from our Colonel's secretary stating that the Colonel would be coming up to meet with the LTC and would be meeting him at my office. I then had to go around and clean the office. I was the only one here and there was so much to be done. I am sorry to those of you who called that I snapped at. It was just the straw on the camel's back.

The visit went well. Tom made it to the airport on time and lunch went off without a hitch. The LTC was very nice and commented several times about how lucky I am to be working in such a beautiful place. I agree....I am VERY lucky.

Things are much better today and I am hoping it will be nice and quiet.

Today is my sister's Anne's birthday. So if you see her or email her...Wish her a happy one. It is nice having an older sister because as I grow older I can say...at least I am not as old as Anne. LOL JK Anne...you know I love you.

Diane Peterfreund's book, "Secret Society Girl, and Ivy League Novel" also releases today. I have heard great things about it. Anne sent me a copy of the book and I am anxious to start reading it. I will let you all know what I think about it. You know how picky I am about books so I will be honest. Speaking of which...Just finished two books,
"Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire and "Mary Mary" by James Patterson. "Wicked" was a horrible book. Being a huge Wizard of Oz fan I just couldn't picture the Munchkins talking and acting that way. It was just a hard read. If you want to read it, let me know and I will send you the book. I wouldn't waste your money on it. "Mary Mary" was fantastic as are most of Patterson's book. If you are a huge Alex Cross fan like me you will not be disappointed.

Well I think I have managed to catch you up on everything that is going on here. Till next time....
