Yesterday afternoon was my last day working at my concierge job. There was a nice send off, much well wishing, cards, a special going-away muffin and even a few gifts. I worked there since the fall of 2000 and it was a mostly enjoyable experience. A very social one, perfect for a student wanting to support his way through university. I won’t miss the job, the pay was laughable, but I won’t forget many of the people there.
For anyone wanting an update on Mrs. Cowing’s situation, she is still at the hospital and has had two relatives check in. I’m glad they came for her, so she at least has that. I’ve been contemplating a visit. It’s something I should at least do now that’s it clear that she won’t be able to go out for lunch with me like she wanted to.
Anyway, here’s a picture of the front of the building (A ritzy condominium complex):
Inside, by the billiards room, is a minitature model of the whole property. It’s quite elaborate and apparently was quite expensive to make. The realtors like to show it off when they have clients with them. It’s encased within a big clear plexiglass cover to prevent children and mischievous individuals from playing with the little plastic people and cars inside.
Here’s a picture the model:
Yesterday this model was….
ATTACKED BY DINOSAURS!!!!!!! ROAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!
There’s a T-Rex headed for the courtyard! RUN!!
Oh no, it’s got a car!
Hey! That’s my Civic!!
A shot of the carnage from the channel 4 news chopper.
So yeah, since it was my last shift, it was a unique opportunity to have a little fun. I hope no one notices the dinosaurs for a while, or that the people that do just laugh and don’t say anything about them. Now it’s on to a new place and fresh challenges…

Brilliant. Dinosaurs make every day better. I read this (http://www.zentastic.com/entries/200508231117.html) and wondered if it had anything to do with your island incident.
