a little irony to soothe the soul

For those of you who don't know, I work in the prosecuting attorney's office in the local courthouse. On the top floor of the building is the old jail (circa 1914)which is now a huge filing room for closed files. It's also covered in mold and has no air. Seriously, you can't breath right up there. When I go up there, it's like I climbed to the top of a mountain. Everything feels heavy.

OK, enough sidetracking. As you enter through the red metal door (gates of hell?) there is a mat that says WELCOME.

Um ... is that really necessary? I mean I'm sure the prisoners were really excited about coming "home" after a long day in the fields, doing landscaping for political officials (illegal), and sleeping with other political officials' wives (also illegal), but seriously, WELCOME? I get it ... tear them down mentally as well.

I saw this in a parking lot the other night. At first I thought it was a rocket. Then I got a little closer and realized No! This isn't a rocket. It's a shark. A shark that's been cut in half and is bleeding all over some guy's car. I wanted to help the guy out by taking a metal brush to get all of that shit off of his car, but I couldn't find one. Sorry guy.

later.

Mike said...

how/why are you working for a lawyer?

That van picture actually left me speechless.

Erin: that's why you love me.

Mike: I'm a clerical assistant. The lead prosecutor's assistant is friends with my mom so I found out that they needed some help through her. It's no fun really but they pay a little more than my last job and they work with my schedule.

Sunshine: I know. When I figured out what it was I had to take a picture of it because I couldn't think of anything to say.
