i wish something exciting would happen

day five of work and everything is still being set up. i don't even have a computer yet so i can't mindlessly search the internet to pass the time. and ive learned that when you don't have that...it's REALLY hard to entertain yourself. i brought some sudoku puzzles but after about 5 of them i was bored and dizzy with numbers. from about 8-830 i fell asleep sitting up in my chair. not that it really mattered since no one else was there..but still...i would have rather had something to do than to be so utterly bored that i cant even keep my eyes open.

after a while i started reading things on the wall...i studied the year calendar for way longer than necessary. i stared at an office phone list looking at names of people whom i probably wont ever meet or need to call. then i came across a 'service guide' for the trailer. it had little random bits of "helpful" information on it. i will leave you with a point to remember that i couldn't help but be entertained by:
"Your lease does not include janitorial services; service changes to repair damages or failures caused by improper or inadequate electrical service, theft & vandalism, physical damage caused by accident, negligence, extreme weather or Acts of God."
anything in that stick out to you? maybe the "Acts of God" part? and yes, that's exactly how it's written. now..i don't know a lot of about trailer contracts or info sheets so maybe this is traditional verbiage...regardless...can someone tell me what qualifies as an "Act of God"??? at first i thought, oh it must be referring to a major tsunami or hurricane or something...however that would probably qualify as "extreme weather," yeah? so does "Act of God" mean like Jesus coming back or something? i don't feel like an everyday trailer service poster would include such references as the apocalypse but..whatever...maybe so?

so yeah, that's the most exciting thing that happened today at work...the most...

hi kate! last time i heard the 'act of God' was when a crane fell on my car while it was quietly parked in a public carpark! they were moving a huge 'bungy jump' machinery (as you know bungy jumping happens in all sorts of forms in nz ;) and the driver lost control of his crane...my car was written off. the insurance company said it was 'an act of God'...so they approved my claim!
