So...
I got the job. And it's PERFECT for me. Baking bread and decorating cakes. Yep, perfect.
Oh, except I'm retarded and didn't get my license when I was 16 and have to walk to work. I actually like walking, means I won't have to workout.
On my brisk walk back to our place a man in a red truck stalled out next to me. No big deal. I was talking to Mom on the phone, didn't think anything of it. Until later in the walk a woman pulled up next to me and asked if I needed a ride "uh, no thanks.." And she's all "um, that guy that stalled out just passed 2 more times." And then I was creeped out. I have this lady telling me some dude is creeping me and my Mom yelling at me over the phone not to get in the car. I gave my phone to the lady to figure something out, and they agreed she would follow me. It was kinda weird, I did my Bostonian walk...until I saw the truck AGAIN. Now I'm freaaaaaked out. I ask the lady if that was the same truck and she's all "YES!" So, I get in her nice minivan (God, readers..don't ever do that..on any normal day I WOULDN'T!) and I have her drop me off at the lobby to our apartment (I also got her name and number. Why? I'm not sure. It seemed like something your supposed to do when a nice lady helps you out.) I'm 95% certain the guy didn't see where I was going, because while I was inside I saw him creep by AGAIN. Twenty minutes later my very nice landlord drove me to my apartment. She also said she would tell maintenance about the creepster. About an hour later....I saw the sheriff drive by.
So, needless to say. I'm getting my license before I get a job. And yes, I'm still freaked out.

UGH!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I am jealous of the amazing job. My mom and I took cake decorating classes and I always said if I couldn't make it in theatre I would love to go to culinary school to be a pastry chef.
Second, I hate it when people are creepy!! I was on the metro once in DC and I had my hair in braided pigtails. I was listening to my iPod and the train stopped and this guy came up to me, picked up one of my braids and stroked it saying "Ooooh pretty." winked, and then got off the train.
What the hell is wrong with people?!?! I am glad the sherrif is on it and I hope you get your license and avoid creepers! Be safe!
It's so weird...I didn't really expect this to happen. Going into Boston every Friday night for yearssss you always get the creepy guys staring, but never had I actually been followed!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I've seen way to many movies...I'm way paranoid about everything now!
I've been followed before, twice. One of the times it turned out to be a private investigator who was trying to locate the guy who sold me my car, which I only found out after I called the cops on him. The other time I stopped walking and looked RIGHT AT the guy, then said loudly into my (not connected to anyone) cell phone, "Yes, that's right, a blue van, and the driver has brown hair and brown eyes" (as I made eye contact with the creep, who then SPED OFF).
ReplyDeleteI called the cops when I got home, because I wanted them to be on the lookout, even though I didn't personally feel threatened by him once he knew I could DESCRIBE him (and he thought I was on the phone with the cops that very minute! LOL)
Here in CA, if you call 911 from a cell phone, it routes you to the highway patrol, not your local police. If you area is the same, you might want to put your local police station's number in your cell phone, for fastest response.
That is just weird. I would have freaked out big time. Thank goodness that other woman noticed and helped you out!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Take care of yourself... do you carry pepper spray? My macho Marine gave me that and a knife to carry for whenever I'm out alone... lol. But he DID get me a *hot pink* knife, so I don't mind.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your job! I'm taking a cake decorating class now just for fun... I love it! Tonight we learned fondant. Hehe.
OMG GIrl getting your license here is a nightmare. The Jacksonville DMV always has around a 4 hour wait! Unless you get there at like 6:30 and wait for the line to start at 7 and then wait for them to open at 8.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about going to the next town over or something to see if it was less of a wait. We should go together since I have to go anyways :-)
Breanna, YES! That would be perfect. When were you thinking about going? You need to MAKE me go...because believe me, I still don't want it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd to everyone else..no I don't carry pepper spray or a knife..BUT, I think I'm going to start. Danny now wants to teach me how to load a gun and stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really hope the job waits, if not..I understand. And with my license I'll be able to find a job that I REALLY want. I've never had the urge to have my license before, so I'm like WAY nervous (including nervous butterflies) about it...
I would have done the same thing!!! Glad you made it to work and back safely!!
