Surprise celebration surprise
I appreciate a fantastic surprise… when it’s for other people.
- Admittedly, I’m a bit of a control freak myself; I don’t cherish the unexpected whatsoever.
That is why I’m always the surprise celebration coordinator, not the guest of honor. Recently, I was throwing a giant bash for my best neighbor and her 30th birthday, but, and I got the shock of a lifetime. You see, the whole ordeal was arranged to take site at a sizable rental lodge located on the coast of NC. We had rented the house several months earlier, so I assumed everything was fully prepared for our guestlist of about 35 people. When I arrived to start setting up decorations and food, I realized that the house was a bit toasty. I figured the housekeeping staff had left the temperature control on a super low level while the house was unoccupied, so I set the temperature to a lower degree and moved on with my celebration planning duties. About three hours later, the guests began to arrive. One by one, they commented on the heat and humidity inside of the house, and I ran over to check the temperature control panel time and time again. The A/C component never seemed to be pumping any cool, high quality air into the house. Even resting directly near the air vents, it was blooming moderate in there; Finally, half an hour before the guest was going to arrive, I made a last ditch effort to repair the A/C unit. I went out back and started fiddling around with the cooling system. For one moment, it sounded like I had made progress! That’s when the bolt of electricity ran through my body, and I woke up feeling quite surprised in an ambulance.
