The Bomb.com

Well, it was another crazy week. It was really getting off to a great start, especially after a week of no power. On Wednesday, I was driving to work and for once was having a great day. I was going to get to work a little early and have a great day. I tried to pull into the driveway and there was a firetruck blocking the way so I had to turn around and go in the side drive. I got out of my car and walked to the building, only to meet my co-workers walking out. I didn't see or smell any smoke. So I thought, ok this is a gas leak or something. All of the surrounding buildings had emptied out as well. More and more people were beginning to show up and no one knew what was gong on. Then there was a buzz in the crowd and we discovered a patrolling officer found a suspicious package in the parking lot and we were waiting on the bomb squad to come. I guess they had a robot ad dogs and everything, but I missed it because I was standing on the right side of the building. Everyone was on the phone with someone trying to see if it was on the news or if the knew anything. After an hour of waiting we come to find out, some men in that work in another building are part of a band. They often practice after hours, and they forgot to pack their guitar pedals and left them in the parking lot...


It will be interesting to see what next week brings...


On a lighter note, Dan and I went to Swell Season on Monday night. It was a concert by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the people who one the Oscar for Best song for the movie Once. It was wonderful! I loved it!

I did, however, find myself becoming easily annoyed with people. People talking loud during the opening band, people wandering around and trying to find their seats in the dark because they couldn't get there on time...Shocking, right? I know I am picky when it comes to chewing, chomping, and whistling, etc. But I am finding myself to become more easily annoyed with people lately. I used to love most people I met, but now it isn't the case. Maybe I am less naive and more jaded?? Who knows...

You don't like whistling?
No, it's not you--I am easily annoyed by people I don't know. People who walk too slow at the State Fair, etc.
That case is exactly like the case Jay has for HIS guitar pedal--I always thought it looked like a bomb or something scary, and I guess I was right! Isn't that amazing that no one stole that case overnight?

I saw on the news that there was a bomb scare in Phidadelphia too. The bomb squad blew the strange package up. Turns out it was hot dogs left from some photo shoot.

At least you can't say your days are boring.
