Dear blog,
Today at work a lady came in (she was new to the community so I was supposed to talk to her about it? Give tour?) I turned on the overhead light--it was about seven-thirty and rather cloudy--and the lightbulb above her head. Just. Exploded.

I'm still bursting into little giggle fits as I think of this. I honestly didn't know that light bulbs exploded. I mean, I turned on the light, waved my hands to turn on the sensor thing, and then there was a sound and all of a sudden there's glass all over the place. I really thought that only happened in special effects. I woul've thought this was a dream (a very bizarre dream), 'cept I can look up into the light socket and see the jagged edges of glass.
Anyway, I cleaned up the mess (thank God for the vacuum), but not before the lady had to go into the washroom (conveniently about three steps away) to remove all the shattered glass from inside her shirt. I showed her around the lounge and pool and things, but I'm quite sure she now has slight qualms about this facility. I mean, not a very auspicious start...
Also: exploding lightbulbs make BAM sounds. :D
