This is right next door to our offices (Union Bank) in Kearny Mesa. Apparently, the police got a report of a man with a gun, so surrounded the building. The told all of us UBOC-ers we had to stay in our building and lock the doors. We couldn’t even leave for lunch…and I was hungry! But when I finally did leave, I managed to snap some pics with my phone. Turns out the guy wasn’t even there. Oh well…the nachos I had for lunch were good anyway.

I’m so excited…my new Dell laptop finally came. I was starting to wonder if it would ever get here, considering I just ordered it last week. *grin* Dell really got it here fast…and so did UPS. I guess I really do have “brown” working for me. It’s really sweet too, but I will have to quickly write this…my battery is running low due to all the installing I’ve been doing tonight. I love new computers, but transferring all your settings from your old machine is a pain, even with XP.

I answered the phone at my grandparents’ house today and a really cute-sounding voice was on the other end. Her name was Tiffany, and she was a telemarketer (I learned this after her lengthy introduction). I thought I would go along with it since this is one of the few times a cute-sounding girl would call me. So, I told her I would take her survey and she proceeded to tell me that the survey was about beer…a beverage that I never endulge in. But for the sake of guys who never have cute-sounding girls call them, I went along with it and played the role of a party drinker. Most of the survey dealt with advertising and how certain brands made me “feel,” so I could honestly answer her questions based on my own knowledge and experience. After the 15 minute survey, I finally asked her, “You’ve just bombarded me with all these questions and now that you can’t influence my answers, you have to tell me what your favorite beer is. She replied with “Bud,” and my initial reaction was, “Okay, I’ll take that.” But when I asked, she got very adorably embarrassed and I could tell she was racking her brain and shifting in her seat. I don’t think anyone has ever asked her a question before during a survey. And I honestly don’t think she was a beer drinker either, that is if she was even legal age. I mean come one…who drinks Bud anyway? But it was fun playing around with her. I love messing with telemarketers…flirting with them is even more fun.

Well, I best get to bed. I’ve had an exciting day of processing loans. Good night for now.
