The quick convo wasn't all that bad really but what suprised me was how much this person knew detailed information about what is going on within my firm. Not a good feeling, especially since this person now works for one of our biggest competitors. I'm totally cool with being friendly but its a little unsettling.
Have you ever had a run in with an ex-coworker?

Anywho, my cousin Jenn is always asking me if anything exciting has happened in downtown lately. Well, yesterday was an exciting day to say the least! Because our office is smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle I'm used to hearing frequent sirens, helicopters aka ghettobirds, etc. Yesterday though there was more activity than usual. The 10+ police cars and the ghetto bird swooped the Wells Fargo building right next door. I'm on floor 20 of 40 so I've got a pretty good view of all the action, and my attention was definitely peaked to say the least. As the ghettobird was a swarmin' one of my co-workers remembered she has a police scanner app on her phone. Through listening to her scanner we learned that there was a man with a gun in the lobby of the bank!! Well, that was comforting. Luckily, SWAT was called in and Mr. I-can't-really-afford-all-those-Christmas-presents-I-bought surrendered!!
Hey Girl how did I not know you had this blog! You just gained a new stalker!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesus the SWAT team did their job. BTW why do they call the helicopter a ghettobird? That is an awesome picture of your building / downtown.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Got to love working in downtown L.A.! Sounds like its never a dull moment....thank goodness L.A. swat was all over it :-)
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyyy Tressa! :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Bonnie, that means a lot to me since you are such a talented photographer! Have you ever considered a photo blog?
You've got that right Jenn Jenn!
Oh, and helicopters are called ghettobirds because they're usually in some pretty rough areas aka "ghetto." Sad but true, although downtown really isn't bad, or at least it isn't on my side of town.
ReplyDeleteTalk about some excitement! P.s. I'd like a blog post of your view from your floor plz...thnx :)
ReplyDeleteI always call em a "pork chop!" Brian has that app on his phone too, we always listen when we suspect something happening!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the ground view photo of your building!
The Blue Line sounds like a hot mess!
ReplyDeleteI need to get the scanner app! There are equally interesting things happening in Downtown Riverside!
