My 400th Post

One of those days?

Here are the things I’m thinking about this morning.

First, do you ever have the “pleasure” of sitting next to someone on public transportation who has no sense of etiquette for said transportation? I did this morning. He would talk to himself, random half sentences, said with trailing endings, looking for a response. He kept sort of turning to stare at me (and well, I do look hot in my toque, parka, gloves, and seventeen other layers, but still…), and then, he’d whip around, to look out the window, and crane his head and shoulders, so that he was almost in my lap. Gotta love public transit!

Secondly, I’m greatly enjoying the perfume I’m wearing this morning. As I was walking, every so often the wind was just right, and I caught a whiff of it. I kept thinking to myself, “Dang, I smell good today!”

Third, I forgot my shoes. No, I didn’t come all the way to work in my stocking feet. I wore running shoes, much more suited for the snow we currently have in abundance than the dress shoes I normally wear. However, in my getting ready this morning, I forgot to chuck the dress shoes in my bag. Good thing I wore dress socks today instead of the wooly socks I normally wear and take off to go barefoot in my dress shoes!

And finally, I got to work to find out that I left a phone message yesterday for a dead person. Someone whose funeral program has been sitting in our staff room all week, but I didn’t catch on. Thankfully his widow was quite gracious in an email returning my phone message, but I feel badly none the less.

And with that, I’m on to start the real “meat” of my day. The chocolate covered granola bar is kicking in, my legs are starting to thaw out from the trek to the c-train, and, in stocking feet, I can sit half-way cross legged much more comfortably. See you later!
