Pedal to the Metal
Today I went to the mall. On my drive home, I went on the freeway and as I got on the on-ramp, I immediately began flooring it to accelarate my car (literally, the pedal was on the ground). My car finally was barely reaching 60 mph was I was passing the next on-ramp. Awesome.

Something Important to Know About Me
My favorite thing in the world is nachos. Any kind of nachos, in any shape or form. I love them all. I had them for dinner tonight for the 3rd time in 5 days. My life is the best.

Reasons You Should Be Jealous Of My Job
1. Last week on the phone, a client dubbed me "Agent Ashley" and continued to pretend like we were talking on walkie-talikies the rest of our phone conversation.
2. Once, a client told me that he should not be kicked out of his hotel where he was explicitly told not to bring his dog in the room on numerous occassions, because he didn't bring his dog in 95% of the time. He then asked if he should wait for the police to come (as he was told they would be if he didn't leave immediately) and told me he would lie to them if I wanted him to. I hope you know I strongly encouraged him not to do so.
3. A client signed a lease this week that prohibts her from smoking inside her rental unit. Two days after moving in, I dropped in at her apartment and after smelling the obviously cigarette smoke infused apartment, asked her about it. She told me that she had infact smoked in her apartment that morning, but that it was ok because she smoked outside her apartment "yesterday". You do the math.
4. Sometimes my clients call me after hours (I'm talking 11, 12, 1, 2) just cause they're bored (no, I don't answer).
5. A random person walked into my office hoping to receive services. Her arms and hands were full and covered with a jacket. I was not paying too much attention as she sat down and got situated and I cleared the files I was working on off my desk. Toward the end of our converstation, she reached down and picked what was unmistakably a half drunk Rasberry Ale. She proceeded to finish it. In my office.
6. A client once told me he was going to vote for Bush. In January. This January.
7. Yesterday, I went to a client's apartment to a drop in. It was a scheduled appointment. She wasn't wearing pants. Don't know about the underwear...she was wearing only a long shirt.
**Rediculous clients aside, I absolutely love my job and the people I work with at Lydia Place. They're the best. I just thought I'd share some of my daily joys with you.

Can I Take Your Order???
This week, Brian and I watched one of the best movies from my childhood glory days. Good Burger.
It was just as good, maybe even better, than I remembered. The only bummer about the movie was that it was not as cool to pull the DVD out as it was to pull out an ORANGE VHS from the case when I was younger. Unfortunately however, my husband who was deprived of cable, Nickelodeon, and consequently, All That when he was growing up, did not appreciated the movie as much as I did. This did make for an awkward 103 minutes, especially when I asked to replay the dance scene. Brian then attempted to fast forward the rest of the movie so I couldn't ask such a thing again. Boo. Well, husband, here is the video. Now I can watch it every day of my life. I love you.
