Popcorn mishap

So this morning was quite entertaining!

Got to work. Sat around for a while. Klarice tossed me a bag of popcorn. So I went to the breakroom, put it in the microwave, and pushed the 'popcorn' button.

Problem was, it was a mini bag of popcorn.

So I'm sitting there reading a magazine, waiting for it to beep, not paying attention to the pops to tell when to stop. And then I smelt smoke. Greeeeeeeaaaaaaat.

So I look over and there's smoke coming out of the microwave. So I open it, grab the bag, and run it outside to the dumpster. Well the smoke alarm by the back door decided it was going to try to kill me with embarrassment. It went off and that thing is LOUD.

Jamie was in her room sleeping, cause it was slow, so she came out to see what was going on.

Well it took us 15 minutes to figure out how to turn the alarm off. Finally got it off. 2 seconds later we hear the sirens. I turned bright red and said "No!"

The Castle Rock firemen showed up. Klarice went outside to explain what happened. He came in (with his AX) and said "Alright, where's the microwave." So I lead him to the back and he's laughing at me the whole time. If my face didn't give me away, my guilty attitude did.

He checks it out, makes sure nothing's on fire, his partner tells us that if there was a fire we aren't supposed to turn off the alarm. DUH. lol

They help us open all the doors to try to get the smell out. Then they leave, still laughing.

Lol I was sooooo embarrassed. But hey! At least we didn't have any clients and I entertained Klarice and Jamie!

I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

She smiles and laughs.

Pretends like everything is still normal.

Nothing is the same anymore.

Her world seems to be crashing down around her.

It hurts. It's hurting everyone close to her.

She can't fix it. Doesn't know how to.

This is no fairy-tale. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all better and perfect.

She doesn't know what's going to happen.

Make it stop.

So much for crying less.
