1. An upside down Mercedes blocking 2 of the 55 Freeway's 6
lanes. It was just laying there upside down with its wheels in the air, dead.
And 3 girls were smoking cigarettes next to it.
2. We were delivering some trench braces and the onsite
backhoe apparently busted an underground water line, flooding the 10-foot deep
trench in seconds. We were on the truck and all of a sudden heard a bunch of
chatter, then 4 or 5 workmen came piling out of the trench they were digging
and soon it was completely flooded and water was overflowing into the street.
It was like when someone breaks a fire hydrant in a movie. A kid was coming
uphill on a bike and when he turned the corner, a bunch of water was running
down the hill at him and he looked really puzzled. Since it wasn't our fault,
it was pretty funny, so we were laughing about it; then we loaded are truck
really fast before all of our shit was underwater.
Those are pretty much the highlights of the work week. The
weekend will be spent polishing off a records management final exam.
