My life is all about adventures, right? Actually, my life is all about "seriously that happened to you? Only the most random things happen to Erin Elton".
So I woke up and did Boot Camp with my friend Megan. That was actually the awesome part of the day. I might not think so when I can't walk tomorrow. But for now let's just say it was amazing and I feel skinnier. Then I drove to work. My friend asked me if I wanted to go with a group of people to the Laker's/Jazz game that night. I accepted as I was already supposed to be in downtown LA for a client meeting at 7pm right next to the Staples Center. Perfect.
Then we picked up a client for lunch and had a rude waitress that took 40 minutes to take our order. Whatever. I can get over that. It did make me a little anxious for my client's time but we had fun so no harm done. Then I got back to work and it spiraled downward.
My friend instant messaged me that they chose another girl to give the ticket for the Laker's game to so I was uninvited. I thought "well at least I will have more time at home tonight to relax and get a few things done after my meeting." Wrong.
I left Irvine at 5pm and was 45 minutes late to the meeting where I was presenting to the CEO of the company and a few of his Vice Presidents. A Branch Manager at my company had set the whole thing up and had me prepare a full presentation on Powerpoint for the occassion. I quickly parked the car, grabbed my projector and laptop and ran into the lobby and then up to the 28th floor.
I apologized to the people I met as I came off the elevator. Then they gave me a nametag. Then they pushed me into a conference room where some guy was giving a presentation. I thought - wait, I was supposed to be the one giving the presentation. What the??? Then the speaker started talking about how great it was that she could work part time, have 5 kids, travel to Hawaii every month and have money to throw around the streets and burn. I have heard this story before and it involves a big, fat PYRAMID! The meeting my Branch Manager thought would turn into a great account was actually trying to get us to sign on. I tried to leave but a very large man had rolled his chair in front of the only escape door. So I stayed for another hour and a half. Auggghhhhh I wanted to poke my eyes out! 3 hours of traffic for this and now blocked from leaving.
I finally got the heck out of there and got into my car, tore into the parking garage and out onto the streets of Los Angeles only to be spotlighted by a helicopter that was looking for a criminal in the same intersection that I was stuck at. Why did Snoop like this place so much?
I leave for DC this weekend. Can't wait for a new city and multi-level marketers to torture me.
