Firsts ....

This past week held a few firsts for me since I've been in LA.

I had my first death threat. Now before you freak out, please know I am not worried about my safety. For anyone who has worked in a call center (or any service job), you know being verbally threatened by a customer is not unusual. Well, one particularly emphatic angry customer told me over the phone that she would "kill [me] if I keep playing with her & her car." No games being played. Just trying to get her car fixed. And to be fair she did first threaten the body shop. Something about a boyfriend or maybe it was "baby daddy" and an AK47. All joking aside, I do think something is mentally or psychologically wrong with her.

I had my first celebrity encounter. Sort of. I was watching the latest episode of American Horror Story and recognized a name when the opening credits ran. It was the same as one of my customers. Realized they both have similar deep & raspy voices (from the voicemail I've heard). So after a few clicks on social media (a Facebook page which then lead me to Instagram), I saw a pic of the car I inspected. Confirming my first claim for a celebrity/actor in LA.
