Georgia, you win!

I’ve had enough! I quit! Today I got up to go to Palm Sunday Mass and as I entered church it started to rain. I love the rain so it brought a smile to my face. Mass was long today, coming in at a total of one hour and 30 minutes. When I left church I got in to my car. As I drove home in the dreary weather, I saw the pollen that has been building up for the past few weeks become yellow swirls in the pooling water. As I came into my cal-de-sac my heart sank. Something was wrong.

My mind went to earlier that morning when I found my back door open when I woke up. Then to last night where I heard my neighbor tell the story of her car being robbed outside in her drive way. I pulled up to my driveway and saw where my font door used to be. I parked and went out. My place is completely trashed. Everything of value to me is either gone or destroyed from the rain. I have always been told that I live in the bad part of Peachtree City, but I never imagined. I mean it is Peachtree City, what crime is there, really?

Well, I won’t be living here anymore. This is the last straw! I’m packing what I have left and tomorrow I will call my company to quit my job. Georgia, you win.

That's insane. I hope you're doing ok. If you need a place to crash, I can always see if there is an open room here in Currier.

I usually don't have a roommate, you can move in with me! Seriously though, what are you going to do?

Unknown said...

Well, I always knew it would take a whole state to beat you down. I could never do it during undergrad, or even during grad school by myself.

Go Georgia!

You got me too, good job. Nick was ready to call and yell at you for quitting so easily - then we started planning our Erin-free trip to Atlanta!!

I just yelled up to Nancy as to why I wasn't told. This is going to cost you and I have a whole year to think of something ! Like Girls behaving badly. Or better yet Get two Jeffs involved.

Looks like you got just about everyone. Karin may have to make those horns a little larger. But I have to admit Dad and I are proud of you. (wipes away a tear.)

Erin said...

Yeah I just took a phone call that started out with a "are you okay?" and ended with a "I'm going to kill you the next time I see you?"

hehe

That's your best April Fools attempt? I was expecting to hear you would be running off to be a groupie for Sanjaya from American Idol or something.

Erin said...

Please, like anyone would belive that.

Ok, so a little late, but I was wondering about that since I was just talking to you earlier today...and the fact that you were able to post about what had just happened...that seemed a bit strange to me...but it was a good one for a while! :-D
