Adventures from Work

Well, I've been doing my new job since January. I sell Xerox machines and, although I never would have guessed it, I love doing it! I never thought selling would be so much fun! I meet so many new people and the boss I have is the BEST and most FAIR boss I have ever had! The people I work with are AWESOME and I love what I do now. I don't think I have EVER been able to say that before about any of my jobs, except when I worked at the hotel during college.

ANYWAY, I thought I'd share some adventures from work. Our office overlooks the parking lot and a small park. Right below our office is the office for the immigration attorney and we see a ton of characters go in and out of that place like there's a revolving door on the attorney's office. I get lots of good photos of interesting people. It's quite fun. Here are some of them...

In my travels, I met up with the Colonel! He didn't tell me any of his 7 herbs or spices, but he did let me take a photo with him. You can see I'm almost done with being pregnant! At this point we have only 4 weeks left.

Here are Margarita and Miguel. We had fun making up some dialogue of what they were arguing about. This guy would not let her get in her car until they finished arguing and he won.

Jeff and I found these guys taking a nap across the street from Sugarhouse Park. I'm impressed this picture turned out so well since my flash went off inside the car. I still love the camera John gave me for my birthday a couple of years ago. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

These guys took a break during the day to go throw a frisbee around in their work attire.

This is Jesse. He used to work with us. He had to leave because his thumbs couldn't stop texting. His phone went off over 65 times in one day from text messages he got from his wife. Needless to say, he wasn't into selling Xerox. He now has a job elsewhere, I imagine it's better for him.

We discovered a bee colony was surviving in the wall of our office. So, the owner of the building called a bee-man to come take care of it. He put a pipe up to cover the entrance/exit to the hive. The bees would fly out the pipe into a bin down below and then were forced to find a new place to live.

This is where the pipe led to to gently guide the bees out of their hive in our building. They could get out of the bin, but couldn't get back in so they had to accept a new queen and move to another hive. The bee-man came up and showed us the new queen. He was very knowledgeable.

This guy showed up to talk to the immigration attorney. He must have walked here from Mexico because he came without a car. He had to wait 45 minutes before the office opened.

Something random I saw that didn't make sense..... WHY WOULD A MERCEDES HAVE A LICENSE PLATE THAT SAID "RAMMING SPEED"?

Poor Telly the Monster.

I took this picture for John, Jamie, Hagen and Amber. Only they will know why this picture was taken.

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE MULTI-TASKER!!!!!

This is the Treasure Hunter. He comes with his metal detector to look for treasures in the soccer field.

This lady got out of the van that you see below. Jesse was parked right next to her on the right. He promptly went and moved his car after the lady in the pink (beyond the fence) rammed her door into his car over and over again while she was getting out of her car. She had a funny walk too. Jesse was mad, but said he couldn't tell if she did any permanent damage because his car was too dirty.

This oddly proportioned man was checking out this car and then waited for his wife to come out of the immigration attorney's office. He checked the tires, door handles, etc.

Then he waited patiently for her to come out.

After she finally came out with their son, an enthralling argument ensued. I am learning a lot about watching people. Usually the man doesn't say anything, but they listen to the woman until she's done waving her hands/keys/whatever she's holding and talking loudly. Then the man just calmly talks, sighs and then gets in their car to follow their wife home.

This sign made me laugh because they posted this on the wall in the hallway of a building on the top floor. Funny thing was, there was NO ONE occupying the office space on that floor. So, what do we conclude from this? The Best People in the World don't exist.

This man I call the Private Eye. He shows up in the morning, sits and watches the building, and then reads the newspaper before he leaves for the day. He's probably there for about one and a half hours. Weirdo.

Incase you wanted to know where you could get your hair cut by someone named Nachio, the number is below. I'm not sure if he plugs the Flowbee in the cigarette lighter of his car or not, but apparently you can get harcuts in a van now days.

And to conclude this session, although you can't see it, this leopard hair woman showed up to work. She also, like many others visited the immigration attorney's office. She had orange and blonde leopard hair. I find it odd that so many mature women feel the need to be high maintenance. Not just odd, but annoying.
