monday: so a man walks into the office i work at. he explained his situation to me and rudely raised his voice and flung his arms aggressively. why was he blaming me for his misfortune with the department? why did he just storm in here without any assurance that this was the correct place to receive the service necessary? and again, why was he yelling at me in front of so many people in the waiting room? . . . several minutes later, after his arms dangled back to his sides and finally shut his trap, i calmly smiled at him and apologized about our department's lack of aid and irresponsibility and nicely asked for his documentation and jumped on the computer database system to check his status. . . but found nothing. this guy was not in our database. confused, i asked my superiors for help. as they began skimming through his papers, they didn't look so confused after all. actually, their faces grew suspicious and rummaged through the file in a quicker pace. it turns out, this iranian was an illegal immigrant of more than ten years with several name and address changes. my superiors immediately called the investigations unit. while waiting the arrival of the investigators, i was assigned to stall the alien and keep him in our office. then, a few minutes later, i was asked to walk the alien to an isolated office. as i can recall, at this moment, i stepped back from leading to walk behind the alien. right as the alien passed the doorway of the isolated office, the investigators stood up grabbed his arms and handcuffed him quickly with ease. my task there was finished and continued to work at my desk. in the hallway, i heard the alien's voice growing louder and clearer as they got closer, "what did i do? why me? i have a son here. my house is here. my car is here. i live here. everything i own is here. what about my son? why are you doing this?"
shopping: i bought half my room yesterday at ikea -- estimated cost: ~$250. and that's just half of my room. i never walked so much and driven so much as i did yesterday. damn, im so tired! and after all the walk and driving i still managed to have energy unloading my crap out of the car and loading all the sheet into my room upstairs. the bf came over and helped me put my bed frame and tv unit together. thank you very much! =) you saved my life! unlike beverly, whose help i could've greatly appreciated. but no! she ditched us! ya know how heavy melin's tv was? sorida had to help us. haha! aww, melin's room is finished. im last, as always! damn, i always lag!
