Cali Boy is Awesome...true story :)

I never shared the story last week about Cali Boy's cube. He has his nameplate, right? So it says: Cali Boy and then directly under that he has a sign that say is awesome and under that is true story. So, it looks a little like this:

Cali Boy

is Awesome

...true story

A little full of himself, ya think? He's so funny about it, though. For some reason, the cocky attitude is really part of his charm for sure.

So, the house sitting/dog sitting is finally done! I am so very glad. I've been stretched way too thin this week what with all the overtime and then going back and forth between Preschool Queen's house and here. I'm looking forward to watching movies and cleaning here tomorrow. And not having to go anywhere else.

In the category of 'you can't make up stories like this' here goes. They have decided that our offices need new carpeting. We have the carpet squares (like linoleum squares only carpet, so they aren't overly hard to replace.) The contractor who was hired to do the work was supposed to start probably 3 weeks ago now. The important thing to remember about this story is the fact that we are the Federal Government. We are a LAW ENFORCEMENT office. So anyway, now that we have those two very important facts out of the way, I can get back to my story. So the contractor sends his carpet installer over. The FPS (Federal Protective Service) officer thought his license plate looked strange. So, he ran a record check on the plate. Sure enough it didn't belong to the vehicle it was on. (Wait, it gets better) Then he ran the driver's license of the individual. Are you ready for this one...he had an active warrant out for his arrest. The guy fled the scene and FPS finally found him at home and arrested him there. How funny is that. I mean, don't you think the contractor should be checking this first? So now, the building is all in disarray and there is no one to install the carpet. Too funny. You just can't make these things up!
