Boy, it's been quite some time since I posted. Things have been way too crazy lately. I'll give you highlights.
Work's nuts since I'm trying to juggle seveal audits at once (again). And I need to get back into study mode because while I may be off from school until September, I planned to take another CIA (Certified Internal Auditing) exam in August. Yuck.
Went out with my mother Saturday night. She wanted to go get dinner and go dancing, lol. One of her favorite bands was playing at a bar a couple towns over. We had a really great night for the most part...until the end. I was sitting alone at the bar taking a break from dancing. I'd been chatting with several of my mother's friends. At this moment I happened to be alone. Some JERK comes over to me and says something completly disgusting and inappropriate. I don't even remember what exactly, I just remember being offended. So I politely asked him, "Please...just leave me alone." Well he didn't like that. So he gave me a dirty look and SPAT in my face. I was like WHAAAAAAT just happened? Well my tiny little petite mother sees this happen and literally starts pushing him up against a wall with her tiny little fists. Fortunately, the guy's a known jerk, my mother had a lot of friends there, including the bartenders, so everyone got him thrown out and made sure we were ok and that we got safely home. But honest, WHO does that? I think that's one of the most disrespectful things a person can do to another person...spit on them on purpose, knowing what they're doing.
So now the weekends over, come into work on Monday. Sitting at my desk, here a LOUD bang, feel the ENTIRE building shake (earthquake like), and shouting. Apparently a huge chunk of the cement facade/cornice fell away from the building. Honestly, it's a MIRACLE no one was underneath...including myself! That's the way I walk to Starbuck's, and this happened at 8:30am! If they had been, they would have been killed. I mean, this was several tons of brick and stone. Shut down a main roadway in the city, shut down the subway for awhile, nearly got me stuck and unable to get home since my car was parked in a lot off of one of the roads they closed surrounding the mess. And it's still all shust down today. It's really been a nightmare. I've been working late every day this week because it's one of my flex weeks...if I work late 4 days, I get Friday off. So I'm just WIPED out.
I'm so excited to see the new Harry Potter. I was so disappointed when they postponed it the first time I didn't think I could stand the wait. But I still have to wait a couple more weeks. I really want to go see it in 3-D at the IMAX, and they don't move it to IMAX until it's been out for a little while. Darn!
Oh! And last week or so I planned a random trip to Disney. My mother (and father) were making me feel guilty that I took my mother away on a cruise and didn't do a vacation for my father. I was like, "Mom, I love ya, but I probably wouldn't have bought you and I a random cruise if the New Kids hadn't been on it!" So since I felt like I needed a weekend away in some nice weather since the summer in Boston has been so lousy, and my father hasn't had a vacation, I decided to take him to Disney. We fly down Friday the 14 fly back Tuesday the 18th. We're just going to do one day in MK. We really just want to enjoy the pool, sleep in, and eat well. Staying at the Dolphin, as usual.
Hope everyone's well.
