Yesterday was an amazingly crazy, busy, hectic, happy day.
I got home a little after 7:00 p.m. from work on Thursday night and had to be back up and ready, raring and running at 7:00 a.m. Friday morning.
Yesterday was the opening ceremony for the opening of our new building A building that for me and my work kids is still 58 days from really a reality. However, it is beautiful. The raising of the flag ceremony was yesterday morning and the ribbon cutting was in the afternoon - and in between it was run, run, run!!! Once all the pomp and circumstance was done, my bossman, my princess and I were in our office to greet visitors and explain things about the office.
When my princess and I arrived, we found our boss in a discussion with a gentleman. Because this has to do with work, I am going to call him MM. This was a very animated gentleman and he was busily describing things to my boss. Let me describe him a bit - think Doc Brown from Back to the Future. Not really an accurate depiction, but as close as I can get.
While doing tours, MM showed up and wanted to talk to bossman again. Well, bossman wasn't available, so I got the luxury of listening to MM, who of his own accord told me he talks alot and then slapped his own hand and said he was bad. He went on to tell me that he is from Ontario Canada and that he has made it his mission to switch Salt Lake City to the metric system. When I said, "oh, if that happens, it will be after I retire", which he said, no - it doesn't need to take that long, to wit, I replied, "I can retire today if I want to". Now, his response to me still has me giggling a bit, "If you don't want to switch to the metric system, you are stupid". Well, call me ding dang dumb stupid - because this old dog ain't learning a new trick like that one- I can barely keep up with the tricks I'm still trying to learn.
When we finished, he asked my name. When I told him, he decided that he would call me CC, because he could remember that better and that I should call him MM. Now, I will say that talking to MM was a bit frantic - but, I can also say, it was an adventure.
By the way - you can come and visit my new palace until next Saturday.

That man was insane. I may allegedly have his picture so we can make signs warning people in the future...
