I had a pretty odd day. Normal day. Odd day. Just some strange things that happened.
First off, I started to notice that I drag a lot of crap to work. I have my large pink bag that I put a change of clothes in. I want to change into something a little more appropriate on Tuesdays for the class I am taking. Inside that, I stuff a small computer bag - red leather, I love it!! Also, in that bag, I have my lunch bag - I'm trying to be really good, so I'm bringing healthy foods. I have to drag this stuff into the building when I arrive and then back to my car when I'm done for the day and going home.
Today, I wore jeans to work. The plan was to do some more purging of crap at the office, in preparation to move to our new palace. Moving from the ghetto to the palace is taking some preparation. So - with the countdown clock starting, my princess and I have been working really hard this last week and a half to get things cleaned up and taken care of. We have filled two shredding bins, a recycling bin and moved a lot of stuff into one place for people to take possession of. A lot of work. So, today I wore jeans so I could get some things cleaned up.
My baby boy and his bride were coming down from Logan and we had made plans to meet up for lunch. Then my girls came, too. Then my son-in-law. It was awesome to go to lunch with my kids!! That's not the point of this story. When I went to get into my car, my pants split out in the thigh. That's what happens when you have thunder thighs - you wear them out in the thigh area. So, I worked the rest of the day with a large splice.
When I changed my clothes to go to class, they had been in my pink bag. Inside that bag today, I had put the baby boy and his bride's Scentsy order from oldest daughter's party. My shirt smelled so delicious I was so excited to go to class smelling so yummy. On my way to class, I stopped to grab a bite to eat. Not really thinking it was a really stupid idea, I stopped at Taco Bell and grabbed one soft taco. Yeah, you know it, spilled it down the front of me. Now, instead of smelling delicious, I smell like a gross fast food taco.
That's really not the HMMMM I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about interesting people and judging books by their covers. Twice this last little bit, I've met incredibly interesting people. Today, I learned about Ella from my class. I thought Ella was in my class to learn how to give a talk in church. She is a little gray haired woman, with lots of wisdom in her wrinkled face. She's about five feet tall, gray hair and dresses like a grandma who likes to garden. However, she is the only Utah employee of the National Audubon Society. She sets up and runs a 4,000 acre nature preserve by the Great Salt Lake - BY HERSELF. She is a very desired speaker for the Audubon Society and will be speaking to a national conference in Portland, Oregon in the near future. Not what I expected to hear - but, she gets extremely nervous. The other person I met was working at the gas pump at Sam's Club about a week ago. This woman came up and started talking to Ted and I and was telling us how she was hoping to get transferred to the Sam's Club closer to her home in Ogden. After conversing a bit longer, we find out that she had been laid off at her job when the economy downturned and now had to work at Sam's and two other places to continue to support herself. She has two masters degrees and was working as a forensic genealogical scientist. She honestly could find anyone and had done the job for a couple of decades and was let go because, "we can pay two younger people for less than we pay you". Wow!! What a slap in the face - your years of education, experience and work meant nothing. So now, she commutes to this job and two other part time jobs to support herself, wearing jeans and a Sam's Club vest.
HMMMMMMM.
