Guess who I met....

This week is my spring break. I came home for the week thinking I was going to hit the beach and have a grand ol' time. Well, on my way into Corpus last Friday, I stopped at the courthouse, where my mom works, to tell her hi. I worked at the courthouse before I left for college, so I thought it would be nice to go and tell them hello as well.

Well, while at the courthouse visiting, my ex-supervisor offered me a 1-week spring break job. I haven't been working since I've been up in San Antonio for school, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a little money. (Thought it would make my parents happy...haha) Anyhow....back to my story....

Since I wanted to put something A-Phi up on my desk, and I really didn't have anything with me, I decided to put up an A-Phi wallpaper on my computer desktop. There was a new Distric Attorney who I met today when she was in my office as the D.A. for our court hearings. Well, today, I was sitting at my desk issuing warrants. She'd been in the office for about two hours when all of a sudden, she comes up to me and gives me a huge hug. I thought to myself, "Why is this girl giving me a hug?!" She told me, "I am one of your sisters!! I am an Alpha Phi!!"

I met another A-Phi!!!

She is the first A-Phi I have ever met "out in the real world," so you can imagine that I was really excited about that. She told me that her desk was full of bears and A-Phi stuff. I told her the reason my desk wasn't like that is because my job at the courthouse was a 1-week job during my spring break.

Hopefully I will be working at the courthouse back home this summer, so I will be seeing a lot more of her since she is the DA of our court.

Sorry for the long story. I am just so excited to have run into an A-Phi.

How exciting!

When I worked at the DA's office here in LA there was another Phi who worked in the office with me too. It was great to have a female lunch buddy! I was so sad when she got transferred and I left the office.

Have a great spring break!

I'd posted this in an earlier discussion along these lines...

I've had a similar occurance. About five years ago, I applied for a job, was interviewed by a sweet lady. The topic of Alpha Phi never came up during the interview, nor did I have anything about it on my resume. Anyway, I got the job and on my first day I sat down next to her and there was a picture on her desk in an Alpha Phi frame. It turns out she, too, was an Alpha Phi, but from a different chapter. It was really cool and we're still in contact to this day.
