West Valley Office

I worked in the West Valley Office today instead of the West Jordan Billing Office where I usually work. It's always good to get out of the norm and see some new faces. A really fun/sad thing happened while I was there though.

There's a picture below of all this snow and then some space where you can see there was a car parked. That spot was taken by a patient that had an appointment right when we opened at 7 am. He came in and was done with his appointment within 15 minutes. He walked out the door and I didn't think anything of it. I heard a car alarm a few times... but it's a normal noise to hear in a busy place and again, didn't think anything of it. 

Almost two hours later... I looked out because I could hear the alarm again. This poor kid was sitting in his car and every time he would go to open his door or start the car, the alarm would sound. I went outside to see if he was okay. I had experienced something similar with my car before, ha ha. I told him to get out, lock the door with the key, and then unlock it with the key again. He looked at me like I was crazy and a face of, "This is not going to work you crazy lady." Then he did as I said, opened the door, and to his surprise, no alarm! Ha ha. His face was HYSTERICAL. It was a face of disbelief that he had just sat there for two whole hours when there was such a simple solution. 

He thanked me and drove away. I couldn't help but chuckle a little and be glad I had finally gone out to see what was going on. I feel like this situation is a lot like life. Sometimes we feel as if we're stuck and have no idea how to get out of the situation we're in. If we can learn to just take a deep breath, ask those around us for a little help (and of course our Father in heaven) we can get a new perspective and get ourselves out of whatever situation we may be in.
