I got in last night after going to a comedy show, laid down to watch some re-runs of The Golden Girls and was on the edge of falling asleep. All of a sudden I heard a weird noise outside my window. I had no idea what it was but thought it would only last a short time so I didn't get up to see what it was.
Finally, after 5 minutes I got up and peeked my head over the balcony. There were dozens of people out on the sidewalk, water all over the place and then I saw a geyser blowing water into the air. And then when I looked a little close, I noticed a car in the bushes and on the sidewalk.
Some kid who looked 25, had driven his brand new Mercedes knocking the fire hydrant over and landing on the sidewalk. The car was completely jacked up but hopefully Mom & Dad will get him a new one.
Geyser blew for about 30 minutes. Guys were running into the water as if they were at Water Works in Seaside, NJ. (Do my Jersey shore people remember Water Works?)
Here are 2 pictures. After they turned the hydrant off, you can see the car on the sidewalk.
And then they finally got it turned off.
I was given the advice that a good, safe way to let out frustrations is to write down your thoughts. However, I strongly suggest doing this at home, not at work. I accidentally saved my "thoughts" to a public server named, "To What My Life Has Come". After getting laid off/ fired from a job that I hated in Boston, I packed up my life for new and exciting adventures. I was bound for Los Angeles.
