Ok, Ok so she is a bit spoiled. 
I have a Christmas party to go to this friday which should be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to it. So life goes on.....

I had a chance to sleep in this morning, but that was shot to hell when I was woke up at 4am by someone screaming bloody murder outside.
I thought it was a fight, but noooo the building next to mine was full engulfed in flames. 
Thankfully the residents in 8 of the 12 apartments that were occupied escaped and only one went to the hospital with minor injuries (he jumped from his second story balconey because the stairs were blocked by flames). The building is a complete loss and most of occupants lost everything, but they are alive. Our local firemen have been wonderful. They kept the roaring fire from spreading to other buildings (one of which was mine) and they are still on scene overseeing the securing of the building remains. As I said in DB's journal saying thank you to the firemen for all they have done just doesn't seem like enough, so I gave them 2 bags (about 4 dozen) white chocolate chip & white chocolate chip with peanut butter chip cookies that I had baked last night. 
I'm thinking someone has a little problem or is pissed off at the complex. I'm also thinking it may be time to move, especially if they relocate the office to an empty apartment in my building. Overall there was no damage to my place except for things recking of smoke, my door has dents from the firemen prying my door (before they realized I was already out of the building taking care of the jumper) and my sense of security has been shaken. Things could have been a lot worse, objects can be replaced, but my dogs (as well as the other dogs & cats in the complex) and human lives can't be replaced.

Sleep in your arms? Sounds like an idea, but I thought you had a girlfried or did I miss something?

she told me that 2 weeks ago someone tossed a brick through the sliding glass door of the "new" leasing office (the office that was in the building that was burned a few days ago). That was also about the time the dumpster was on fire just up the parking lot from the "new" office. I'm no where near an expert on fires, but I find it hard to believe the building next door would have burned the way it did if it was an accident. To me it appeared the stairs were the main thing that was on fire and then it spread to the buildings. There are no lights or wiring on the stairs themselves. The lights are on the buildings by our doors. So that leaves applying fire to the wood stairs. It had been raining for almost 24 hours prior to the fire so I'm guessing a cigarette or match probably wouldn't have been able to set off the inferno that engulfed three full flights of stairs before spreading to the attached buildings. That only leaves one pissed off person out to get the office.

Unofficially, I have heard that there is a possiblity that the fire may have been the end result of domestic violence. I learned that one of the units that burned, had had multiple visits by the police for domestic violence complaints and one (about a week to 10 days prior to the fire) included "terroristic threats".

However, there is a good chance my schedule will become more predictable as my boss is leaning on me to take over as office manager. I will probably know in the next few days. If I do become the office manager I will have more time even during the busy season. I just have to sit tight and wait on the boss to decide if he wants me in the field or in the office.
