Disaster at Apex

Well today at work was supposed to be big. The #2 boss was going to talk to me, in regards to hiring me permanently from Skillforce. I've been there 10 weeks and it was time for the review. Also, yesterday I got (asked) to move to nights starting monday.

So far, I have never missed a day of work at Madern, and have never been late. So this morning comes along, and I'm doing o.k. on time, should have 5-10 minutes to spare normally. As I pull into the exit for my work, the cops are blaring lights and have the entire exit blockaded! I couldnt believe it, and knew that I was going to be late now, for the first time, AND on the day of my REVIEW!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I dont know the area very well and its pitch black out, so I have no idea how to ge to work now. I pull into the next exit and notice to the right, that the side road is blockaded by more cops. Then I turn around and go back North bound on Route 1 and figure I would take the exit that way. Wrong, blockaded too. Then I go to the next exit on that direction and it was another expressway leading way out of the way!

Then I work my way back and I go southbound very far, only to end up in no mans land and lost a bit. I needed to relax, so I pulled into a gas station, got some coffee and a moon pie. and made my trek back again, hoping to make some headway.

I turned on the radio and heard "and if you try to make it into Apex downtown, you may be arrested......several schools are now closed.....medical facilities are closed....." Later I hear that there was HUGE chemical explosions and Apex is being evacuated! Then it rained HARD and traffic was all backed up. It felt like I was in some movie, or a nightmare. Apex is where I work and now I need to get the heck outa there.

I head home and turn on the t.v. and watch all the updates. I call in to work and apparently its closed. I fell asleep for 3 hours too. :-)

a great day that caught me by surprise

#1 Went to work, and it went well. The second in command of the company had a chat with me. Hes interested in talking to me friday about hiring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that jerky Jeff from JMK!!!
This could possibly mean a raise, and definatly mean benefits. I really need to go to the dentist and been putting it off because of no benefits.

#2 Took mom to pizza buffet, and baught klondike bars.


#3 Mom got her sticker for her vechicle registration. (it was missing and causing stress)

#4 Mom got an important call that will help her start her business

#5 The NY Mets won the first playoff game 6-5

#6 Friday begins the new series of "Battlestar Gallactica"

#7 (and most important) My friend Amy seems to be doing good after her spinal operation. Please pray for her. She needs continued improvement on her recovery from numbness.



Hey wait a minute! my moms having the great day! :-)

The New Orlean Saints

Well I'm a Saints fan. Yes, historically the worst team in the NFL. This year, they had gutted most of the roster, and got new coaches and players. I'm excited because they are doing great! They started the season 3-0. and had their first Home game in 22 months or something like that. The reason is because Hurricane Katrina practically destroyed the superdome.

Today they lost, 21-18. :-( Its ok though, as long as they keep playing well.


Also, in my fantasy football league, with my friends from up north, I'm 3-0. Looks like I'm losing so far this week, but ya never know.
