It's certainly an odd day so far

1. Pick up visiting callers for the upcoming convention. Wait at the exit from customs for an hour and a half. The plane's been down for 45 minutes now. Where are they? Realize there's ANOTHER exit from customs. Oh, crud. At least I know how to say "I apologize."

2. Take them out to lunch. Fail utterly to explain what "spinach" is.

3. Arrive at work to find three voice mail messages. It's extremely unusual for me to get even one phone call in a day. Discover all of them are from my mother. Call mother back. She had a nightmare involving me being dead. OK. Reassure mother.

4. C'mon, painkillers. C'mooooooooooonnnnnn, painkillers.

Nap soon? Or a break? Or something??

I'm a bit late, but I hope you managed to get your nap in! :) I'd offer a hug, too, but I don't want to cross any lines. :) Sounds like you had a very interesting morning. But I always say, by the time you've managed to get it posted on LJ, the bad part is over and it's just a funny story. So sit back and enjoy the good part of it now. ;)

Yeah, okay, that's probably didn't help. I tried. ;)

You're right -- by the time it gets posted the ending has already happened. :-)

Exactly. Me, I just like telling stories, so as bad as it might be at the time, once I know everybody lived, I always figure 'Well, at least I get to tell other people and make them laugh.' It's some small consolation. :)
