The Battle of the Wills!

There are 5 atorneys in my building and including their staff, probably a total of maybe 15 people. The parking lot, while not big, is certainly large enough to accomodate all of us. Nevertheless, there is this *one* spot that is fought over. It is THE spot of all spots. The front row, left corner spot is apparently the Golden Grail of parking spots in our lot. Don't ask me why. I suppose it could make sense to say that because my mom/boss started parking there out of convenience, as she walks around the left side of the building to the back entrance in order to take the inside stairs, rather than the front stairway (which are rather dangerous and narrow...and let's face it, my mom is a klutz), that two other attorneys in our building *had* to have the same spot. Regardless of the fact that the entrace to their offices are only accessible through the front entrance....which means they have no choice but to walk back over to the front of the building. So instead of parking in the middle of the front row, which would make the walk to the front entrance far more convenient, they choose to park all the way over to the left.

We (as an office) are baffled as to why either of the attorneys desire to park here, given that there is absolutely nothing special or great about this spot....other than, of course, the fact that my mom likes parking there because she uses a difference entrance. I know better than to think that the other 2 attorneys aren't petty enough to want something just because another person has it...

Really, who says adults are more mature?

Huntin' Ghosts!

Ever watch Chost Hunters on SciFi? I freakin' looooove this show. Nothing major really ever happens, so it's totally a show where you let your mind wander and imagine all kinds of creepy supernatural things happening all around the cast and crew. Actually, more interesting than the *paranormal* aspect of the show are the places that GH investigates, simply because they tend to be older, more established places. Places of some historical significance...because history equals ghosts, supposedly. Or logically, I suppose. Either way, watching the show has led to some research on the locations, which has led to interst in dereliction and urban decay....and I'm not tlaking make-up here.

How cool would it be to be paid to go poke around old buildings, and take photos, or sit around with tape recorders and talk to myself? I do it anyway, talk to myself, so why should I not get paid for it? I want to hunt ghosts. Officially. That's my new goal, to hunt for something supernatural. I don't care if I get paid for it, or not, but I want to be able to have a story that I can tell like..."Did I ever tell you about that one time that I spent the night in that old asylum?"...seriously.

I'm going to do it, and then write about it. Stay tuned :p
