It's certainly an odd day so far

[cjsmith]

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 sympathize.

So how did you try to explain what spinach is?

Ok, I'm guessing this wasn't a Canadian caller :)

nap.

My cousin's boyfriend took over an hour to clear customs from Australia...

Must have been Kiyoshi. ;)

I'm picking up Sandie tonight. I've already promised her at least 15 minutes of cancer-stick time outside the terminal before heading to the car. [evil grin]

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. ;)
