Do you know how little things can add up and before yo know it, you are wondering where lightning will hit next.
One company has been a wee bit crazy this past month, resulting in excess hours. I know that I am playing it on the edge, as are others, so, you know, you get klutzy if tired.
i decided to go out for a burger and sundae at a famous place here for custard. I was sitting in the car, eating my sundae, when it flipped out of my hand and landed upside down on my lap, after sliding off my phone.
The next day my phone wouldn't work, well part of it, as the icr cream had gotten into the slider. d'oh. and the volume buttons were stuck down.
There I was in my car, trying to find kleenex to clean it all up. yuck. glad i had put a cloth on the seat before leaving on this trip.
Anyhow, thankfully last night I had a great long sleep, and felt quite well rested today.
I have had my breakfast made wrong 3 out of 4 days this week. That could be considred bad or frustrating. This morning, when the yolk was running off the plate of my "over hard " eggs, which I had expressly ordered and stated they were to be hard, very hard, extra hard, dead to the staff, and they still came out that runny, i was like...ok, i have to show them. So, i went up nicely, showed the staff, who said "oooh, that isn't hard". We smiled, and chatted. Next thing you know i have a new breakfast, a coupon for a free dinner in the restaurant. When I went to the desk to ask if the date could be adjusted or if I could hve points instead, she was like, oooh, dont' worry about the date, and we'll give you points anyhow. It was kind of them.
So, work was busy, but we went out for a celebratory lunch today, and that was good. Just three of us to have a laugh, tell a story, and get through some crap. It was good.
I then got lost trying to get into the office due to construction in the parking lot. So was standing there frustrated when....I look up and a wonderful woman that I know was walking by. So got caught up, got to say hi, and get directions.
Saw a few people, worked late, and was headed back to the hotel which was an hour away. Had an uneventful drive.
Was within 3 blocks of the hotel, when a car cut in front of me, and I had to slam on the brakes. The road was wet. The car kind of shimmied.
Then my exhaust started making a lot of noise. crap.
I am on the 6am ferry tomorrow. Drove to the hotel. My husband is asleep so decided to ask my facebook friends. My nephew responded with what it likely is, and outcome.
I stood outside waiting for AAA and had a wonderful talk with the woman who...you guessed it..made my eggs and gave me the free coupon.
She filled me in on how housekeeping works at the hotel, and the different ways they pay staff. we talked about common-law marriage, insurance, and trying new jobs -- and the murder rate in Milwaukee.
Through the conversation she found out that i was leaving for the ferry at 5am if my car was ok to drive, and she said no problem, i will make you breakfast -- breakfast doesn't start until at least 6:30.
So, you know, i will likely get home tomorrow , I made a new acquaintance, and someone to smile with whilst on the road.
Nothing is broke that can't be fixed..and if can't be fixed, it can be replaced.
sometimes, you just have to smile at life...and when you get a lemon...make lemonade.
Kidding aside - hope you're feeling better today. How's that knee coming along? Will you soon be able to get back to work?
