HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
My Halloween was pretty eventful!
It started Friday at work, when a co-worker came running up to me saying "some guy is spray painting our dumpster! and he is walking towards the OMNI Building!" Immediately, I grabbed my coat and ran outside to chase him down! Mind you, I had on my long purple wig, false eyelashes, polka dot socks, heels and a skirt! The perpetrator was about a block ahead of me. Needless to say, I probably could have caught him, but I was a bit sore from my spinning class the night before. Ha Ha! Anyways, I decided to yell at him. I said "Hey! Did you just spray paint our dumpster?" He stopped turned and shook his head no. I then yelled "YES YOU DID! AND I JUST CALLED THE POLICE" He then just shrugged his shoulders and started to walk away. Well I hadn't called the police, so I dialed 911. As soon as the dispatcher answered I said "Hi, this is Emily Erickson and I am at Varsity Square at address, some guy just spray painted our dumpster! I have followed him and he is between 4th and 5th in the alley way. He is wearing cream slippers, army colored khaki pants that are floods, a black trench coat, black sunglasses and a black beanie." the dispatcher replies "OK, we will send someone when they are available." I was like "WHAT" I have him in sight. I said "If you send someone now you can catch him." She just simply said OK. Let's just say, I hope I never have an emergency where I might actually need an officer, because in this town they might never get there! Right then, another co-worker showed up in her truck, she decided to tail the guy. Unfortunately, she had to turnaround and she lost him before the office actually showed up.

You are so funny! I wouldn't have the guts to chase him down. Hopefully they are more responsive when a life is at stake, rather than the dumpster.
