Kourt's N Session

A white blanket covered my back yard as I woke up to realize; it snowed. Joy to the kids that got to miss school, goodbye freedom, hello grown up world of responsibility, and a 45 minute ride to work. The start to my day was nothing short of loony. It didn't stop with the traffic on P.I.B. As a result of the sky opening up a free snow cone stand; I was late to work and unable to attend the rehearsal of Charlotte's Web. I felt so bad for letting those kids down but I am glad I went ahead and cancelled because these old folks were not budging today. I walked in the door at 10:10 AM, started my daily routine, and as I get to the second floor a loud "THUD" comes from the third floor. The elevator stops, the lights start flickering, and a high pitched pulsating sound of the fire alarm resounded through my ears like nails to a chalkboard. I was alert. I started going room to room getting our residents out to a central location. One lady's wheelchair was not charged so I began to panic momentarily. I remembered the guy cleaning our fish tank outside her door and out of my mouth came; "HEY AQUA MAN, can I get some help?" Ha ha. At that moment the annoying siren died down and I quickly sounded like the last person who yelled "WHAT?" over the stereo right before someone turned down the music. Except for my "WHAT?" was directed at someone and I called him "AQUA MAN?!" My eyes popped out of my head. I stepped into reality and noticed him laughing. The laughter was refreshingly contagious. I went from auto-pilot to total control; good morning tuesday!
