Are you sure there wasn't a full moon this weekend?
Mood:  not sure
What a weekend! The crazy people came out of the woodwork to make my life more exciting. LOL

On Saturday I drove downtown to work at the pub. I normally park in the parking garage because it saves time having to find a spot on the street. As I approached a saw a cop car sitting with the nose of his vehicle just barely in the access lane. So I just whipped around him and pulled into the garage. He came running in after me. He informed me I would have to leave the area immediately. I looked over to see a man standing on the ledge of the parking deck just 60 feet or so from where I had parked my car. He apparently was threatening to jump. The cop agreed that I could leave my car there but that I had to leave for fear I might spoke the guy. I tried to make my way to the pub through the sea of people who had assembled to see if this guy would actually jump. He didn't. The cops finally talked him down about 2 hours later.

Later that afternoon a man came into the pub drunk and spelling very badly. He sat at the bar and the bartender sold him a beer. The man soon got very loud and very belligerent. The bartender gave him his money back, took his beer and threw him out of the bar. The man continue to yell and scream and then crossed the street to the park. Lennie, who had come into the pub for a quick beer, watched the man out the door and then turned to me with this look on his face and said, "Have Colin grab the bat...they guy has a knife." I had them grab the bat then I immediately called 911. The man was standing across the street yelling and waving this knife around. It wasn't until later that we learned that it wasn't a knife...it was a paint scrapper. Still it was sharp and shiny and the man was obviously making threats. I went back in to call the cops again. When I went back outside Lennie, the bar tender and an off duty cop had the man down on the ground. The police finally arrived and the man was taken into custody. Apparently the guy came over and bumped into Lennie and that is when Lennie tackled him to the ground. GO LENNIE! If he hadn't been there and the guy had made his way back into the bar...it could have turned out badly. Luckily no one was injured. Well except of Lennie who ended up pulling something in his back and scraping his hand.

Sunday at the pub wasn't too bad. We had one drunk guy who fell off his chair and was asked to leave but he didn't cause any problems. The rest of the night was slow and uneventful. I enjoy working shifts with Ryan and Kat. They make it fun. Kat likes to dance around and for some reason keeps calling me "momma". LOL Maybe it is a San Diego thing? I even chatted a bit with Chris the bartender who I normally avoid because he always looks pissed off and I don't think he likes me all the much. But he made conversation with me anyway.

I was looking forward to a nice quiet day off on Monday. I knew I would have to do a gate change at 1PM but that wasn't a big deal. I got up in the morning and went for a hike then scooted over to the dam to do the change. I then went to the store and came home to relax. No such luck. I had a message on my answering machine from some debt collector saying I owed my doctor $286. I immediately called him back and told him that I thought he had the wrong person. Here is our conversation.

ME: Yes I received a message stating I owed money to Dr. Naccouzi. I think you may have the wrong person.
Collector: Is this Rebecca?
ME: Yes?
Collector: Is your number 919-555-1212 (not my real number)?
ME: Yes?
Collector: Do you live at...(address left out for security reasons)
ME: Yes?
Collector: According to our records you owe a bill in the amount of $286.00 from back in Oct.
ME: I couldn't be me. I went to the Dr. back in June but my insurance company paid all but $18 and I already paid that.
Collector: Well that is something you will have to discuss with them. Now we should talk about your payment options. Would you like to pay a lump sum or maybe we can split it up into a few payments.
ME: I am not paying this!
Collector: Ma'am you should take this seriously. Debts like this gave have a negative effect on your credit. It can keep you from getting a job or buying a house...
At that point I hung up and called the Dr.'s office. Of course the woman I needed to speak with was out till this morning. So this morning I called work and told them I would be late and drove over to the the Dr.'s to get this straightened out. Apparently there is another person with my exact same name who sees the exact same Dr. What are the odds? The lady said they have a new girl working and she must have pulled the first Rebecca that she came to which happened to be me and didn't bother to verify. I scolded her about being more responsible with this sort of thing that I had spent a year getting my credit straightened out and she almost ruined all that work. She called the debt collector while I stood there so hopefully things are all worked out.

I have to work at the pub tonight. I am so exhausted. I just want to go home and crawl into bed. *sigh* Hopefully I wont have to work too late.
