morning oddness

I wanted to get this down before it leaves my mind completely. Further evidence that I live in the Twilight Zone...

The rising sun this morning was sending a column of light straight up. I've never seen anything like it before, and I wish I was able to pull over and take a picture, but I couldn't. It lasted until well after the sun had cleared the horizon. It was amazing, in all senses of the word.

I saw a couple of people in the middle of a corn-stubbled field, stacking what looked like branches. I glanced again as I passed them, and it looked like what they were stacking was geese. There were geese all around them, and I swear, I swear I saw one of them toss a goose with its wings outstretched onto the pile. This was while the sun was sending up that column of light. It was not a dream, nor was it a hallucination. I don't think. Keep in mind that this was at about 7:15 in the morning.

Weird.

People are giving me way too much information about their lives here at the office. I had one woman who wanted to see last week's paper for the real estate listings so she could see if her "son's father's girlfriend" had bought a house in her neighborhood. I know way too much about her and the alleged girlfriend now. Seriously, I wanted to beg her to stop.

Also, the coffee delivery guy's daughter will make a great divorce lawyer because, in his words, she's a cold-hearted bitch. And he's proud. Yeah.

If this day gets any weirder, I may have to lie down. *g*

trash or treasure?

One person's trash is another's photo of the day. *g*

This morning, a coworker was telling me about her new grandson, but she didn't have any pictures because she didn't have a digital camera. *Ding* I've been wanting to give my old camera to someone, preferably someone who really needed it, but hadn't figured out a way to decide whom to give it to. Turns out, I'd been saving it for Nancy. :)

I had a few moments of panic when I checked my bank account online, and there was a lot less money in it than there should have been. I mean, a *lot*. I looked at the account activity, and a deposit I made a few days ago wasn't there. I looked at the deposit slip, still in my wallet, and as it turns out, the teller deposited my money in somebody else's account. Whoops. I called the bank, and everything was fixed. Thank you, Mercury retrograde! Good thing I caught it before I went to buy gas or something. That would have been embarrassing (not to mention panic-inducing). I will be checking my deposit slips more closely from now on!
