I made plans to drive to Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon. At the last minute those plans fell apart. I made new plans to drive to Portsmouth on Sunday morning. At the last minute those plans also fell apart. I did some Googlin’ and there is a post office down the street from work that opens at 8:30. Nice. I can mail the disc by noon on Monday without having to sneak out of the office for a wicked early lunch.
I get to the post office a little early, address the envelope, take the obligatory picture of the addressed envelope, the clock hits 8:30 and inside I go.
I have to punch in at work at 9:00. I’m seventh in line.
Ummm…
One counter open. Dude in front of me has three huge boxes that are all going different places using different services. Woman in front of him has a package going to the UK and doesn’t know how to fill out the customs forms.
Ummm…
Suddenly the whole mailing in the CD by noon on March 2nd is feeling like the most challenging part of the challenge. Fortunately a second counter opens. I watch the post mark go onto the little envelope. I pay my less than three bucks. I hop back into the car and drive to work.
And realize that I forgot my ID badge and my glasses. I blame this on the couple of inches of snow we had over night. I was thinking more about shoveling the little snow bank at the end of the driveway than I was about getting to work. Oh yeah, I can’t open the door to the building without my ID badge. I had to stand there like a chump waiting for someone else to walk up. And with no glasses… I can read the monitor okay, but my eyes get really tired and I get huge headaches.
Happy Monday, everyone!
