My very wet birthday....


So yes... today is my 31st birthday... I don't mind the age... I just mind it being close to Christmas.... Well I got my phone calls wishing me a happy birthday... the girls at work got me balloons (though i ask them not to) and gave me money ... Thanks guys... Well I always like snow on my birthday and really that's truly all I want.... Well this year I got rain...LOTS of rain that it flooded my work and I spent most of my day in bare feet in water trying to help save my work place.. .. I work with such good girls that we actually laughed most of the time..... every now and then someone said .... Happy Birthday... and we laughed while we were frantically moving and packing up stuff while the water just came in... we called our people and are now working Sunday if we can get back in by then.... It was like a movie... We just couldn't believe it.. Finally the fire company made us all leave due to a transformer... I never thought this would happen ...especially right before Christmas.. But we will reopen and hopefully soon.... I have never in my life wished so much that it would have been snow... would have been easier to clean up... One more thing.. anyone living in my area... Do NOT shop at Ollies.... we "borrowed" 5 shopping carts to put our retail in to save it and they demanded their 5 shopping carts back... Can you believe that... they had rows of them... I will NEVER .. Ever shop there again... yes we did give them back.... but they will never see one of us in there again... People are suppose to come together in times like that.... I'm glad I work for who I do and who i work with as coworkers.... we all pitched in an did what we could no matter how wet or cold we were.... Now that's what I call team work...
