Mother-in-law Pointed a 38 at Me Sunday


So … how was your Saint Patrick’s Day?  I spent a small part of mine with my mother-in-law pointing a loaded gun at my head at close range.  Okay, so she swore up and down it wasn’t loaded, and she wasn’t really aiming at me, not even in fun.  She was just holding it up, and I happened to be in front of it.  And she spent the next half hour listening to Eric lecture her on gun safety and how that you never point a gun at somebody even if it isn’t loaded.  Then come to find out it WAS loaded.  Kind of scary, if you think about it.  But all’s well that ends well.  I’m still here.  Didn’t die.  :D  Any one you walk away from, right?  All in all, a good day, don’t you think?

My Afternoon at the Police Department

My best friend called me today around 3 pm, but I couldn’t answer the phone because I was in booking at the local police department getting fingerprinted. :O lol No, I wasn’t being arrested.

Actually I got a new temp job, which I am very excited about! Working for a company that does retirement planning. And I guess because we have access to sensitve files, they have all their employees get fingerprinted.

 In any case, it was a really neat experience, getting fingerprinted. Had to go into the detention area, past the holding cells, etc.

 Anyway, it's all done and I am enjoying my new job. I am not sure how long it is supposed to last; they say 2-3 weeks. I hope they like me, and that it turns out to be something permanent. I really like it there! But if it is only going to last for 2-3 weeks, I will be thankful for what I have! I'm very grateful and excited! Thank God for a job, even a temporary one!
