48 Hours Without...

ELECTRICITY!!! Yes, thanks to Mother Nature and her PMS, Northern California was hit by three storms in a row, with the second storm packing the most punch. The wind was out of control and reeked havoc causing massive power outages all over the state. On Friday, the creek by my house was damned by many trees which were uprooted by the storm thus causing major flooding in our neighborhood. The neighbors banded together and we removed all the debris that was causing the creek to overflow its banks. The electricity was another issue, we could do nothing on that front. SMUD was to fix that problem. Finally, on Sunday morning the lights came back on! I was supposed to visit my friend Tara in SF on Saturday night but with all of the insanity of not being able to get out of the neighborhood due to the flooding of the creek, I was unable. I feel like such a flake.

On Tuesday I am leaving for Denver, CO. I have a job interview on Wednesday with Jorgensen Laboratories. It just so happens that my friends, Brad and Claire live about 20 minutes away from Jorgensen Laboratories Headquarters. So not only am I going to go to CO to land a job, but also to spend time with my friends. I am extending my trip until Sunday in hopes of having a second interview and spending time with Brad and Claire.

Holy Crap, it is 9:22pm and the RAIN has started again. I am officially over this weather.

Ryan - After a hideous weekend, it's sunny (but still cold) here today (Monday).

Have a fantastic time in CO, and I hope you KICK ASS on that interview!

Good luck on your interview! How exciting. Must not be jealous, must not be jealous.

I returned to my gray cubicle today. It looks like a darker shade of gray since I returned from my vacation. And all of that rain would explain our 5 hour delay on a connecting flight to SF on Saturday. And the extra two hours it took them to return my brand new luggage with the handles missing. But, in retrospect, I should be grateful. The storm didn't hit us here in LA as hard...yet.
