I'm a star!

Today I was in the paper.

A few weeks ago this gal contacted me about a guy I had bonded who was on the lamb from the sheriff's department. Apparently they arrested him, took him to the sheriff's department and left him unhand cuffed and alone for a minute (excellent idea). He's a criminal but not as stupid as they figured, without wrist jewelery he walked himself out the front door of the sheriff's department and went off to the woods to continue his crack binge he had been enjoying before reality showed up with a badge.

Now, I don't mind David he was never a problem to me before. Yes, he is a crackhead and now an evader of justice, but a good bond. I even told the nice girl at the newspaper that when she called to ask me how I felt about him adding my name to the list of people he wanted to kill. He is a nice guy with a bad problem. I really don't think he'll carry through with his threats to kill me but with crackheads you never know. I was told by Susan my boss, to stay away from the office that night and not to meet anybody for bonds unless it was in a well light place. If she was worried like that I too was a bit more nervous. I mean I did find out about my pending death threat at my shrinks office?!?!? She's a good doctor.

How hard is it to catch a penny-less crackhead with exhaustion leaning on him and hunger slowing him down and 42 seminole county sheriff's officers right behind him? Well it didn't take that long, not long enough to get a night off. The up shot was my name going in the paper and that lead to my meeting this lovely girl who wanted to interview me about my job. How cool! Well of course I will oblige! I was nervous I never think about me and my job it's just what I do to support my kids. Either way I was the belle of the criminal ball and she would come to see me at the office next week!

A round faced Philippino girl with great Converse and a fresh look on things was at my office to talk to me. She was someone I would be friends with if It was just a normal meeting. We talked like old pals from the beginning, she listened to me and I to her, wow what fun my job is tonight in a unexpectedly new way! All the while she's writing down things and keeping notes, I almost forgot it was an interview. We had dinner then she was gone. Every night of my job is something exciting though this was a first!

Then a photographer was to be sent. It was Orlando Magic basketball play-offs, which meant all eyes and photographers on them and my quick pic would be squeezed in at first availability. Not a problem, just don't shoot me from the waist up, don't want my fat belly to show. I had my hair done that day so I looked naturally blond and I put on some make-up. It was unnecessary in the long run, I never took off my sunglasses it was so damn hot outside I couldn't see without them.

I had almost forgot about it. Three weeks had gone by and the reporter said she'd call me when it was going to run. We all get busy. Here it is early about 8:30 in the morning, when Trouble from the office texted to say I was a "star". Oh lord, I worked the night before till 4 am. I was trying to make some much needed dough, so now I was enjoying some much needed sleep, I'll get back to that star thing around noon. By that time, the huge populous of up and coming and down and outers of Sanford were calling, texting and send signals to me to read the paper I was in there a small town star.

You know I get embarrassed. Jesus I'm still upset about Michael Jackson. I just woke-up and people I haven't seen or talked to in months are calling telling me they saw me in the paper??? Cool, yawwnnn okay now let me see it. Omg, I look fat. No, everyone thinks I look good. Hair looks good. Lips look old. Oh, you can see my bracelet I love that bracelet. Look at me the picture is huge! My boobs look huge! How nice this is. I hope David finds peace wherever he ends up. His sadness and addiction were my income. One more great Friday, turned a death threat upside down. Work tonight, I never know what I'm walking into. Today it woke me up with a bang!
