Couple of Weird Days

Two times when I was just going into work this week, there were a couple of weird things happening.

One day when Mom dropped me off at work and was guiding me into the building like always, this guy stopped us and told us this sob story about how his car was about to be, or had been impounded, and I forget what else was wrong, anyway, his life was a mess and he was just short something like 17 bucks to get his vehicle out of the impound.

Uh, no! Dude - not only do I think you're a scam artist and panhandler, you're making me late for my real job and you're scaring me! Get lost!

I didn't actually say this, but was thinking it basically. You want to get as far away from these leaches as possible, especially when they corner you in a parking lot. You just never know...

The very next day, I was being dropped off at work, at the other studio this time, and there was a police cruiser there. They were talking to one of the other accompanists, and then the administrator came out to verify what the accompanist was telling the police.

When I got in, I heard the story, and we were all really upset and offended by it all.

Apparently some lackwit reported the male accompanist, believing he was stalking the school! All because he arrives early on that particular week day, and since classes don't start immediately, somebody thought he was sitting there, stalking the school!

GAH!

Nothing could be further from the truth! He's the last person who would do a thing like that, you report-happy dork! He plays piano for ballet classes, same as me!

Apparently the police felt pretty badly, and they should, and I hope they informed the misguided person making the report that she/he was completely wrong about the whole thing!

This accompanist must've been mortified, hurt, shocked that anybody could report him simply for parking early at work, because they got such a heinously wrong idea about him! I was, and I would most definitely be terribly offended if anybody thought that of me.

Pretty riled about it all evening, but at least some of the others at my work and I got to vent and even joke around about it which helps.

Honestly!

So, a day off, but not really. I don't go in for work this afternoon, but I'll be working hard on a new song for church on Sunday, and we're rehearsing it tonight.
