Mama said there'd be days like this...

...There'd be days like this my mama said. Furthermore she was concerned about my ability to make friends on those days. Yesterday I stayed home...all day. I didn't mean to. I woke up and put on make-up and then sat down to assess the status of some stuff and go through e-mails. I knew I had to make some potentially sensitive phone calls so staying home from a supplier was already scheduled for the morning. But then one thing led to another and it was clear I wasn't getting dressed and taking my made-up face anywhere. I hate when that happens. Oh well. At least I'm past the point of suicide by training power-point when I have an at-home day.

On the plus side I did manage to get my face outside to see the world after work... I went to the gym where all my make-up proceeded to melt off my face immediately. And then I regretted leaving my apartment when I pulled a move so spastic it would make Urkel feel at home. I'm joggin' away... watchin' some Dr. Oz... when I catch my ear bud cord with my hand...pulling my phone off the ledge...and onto the treadmill belt...where I kicked it (just a little) and then instinctively tried to just pick it up... from the MOVING TREADMILL BELT. I realized about half way down that this plan was NOT going to end well and uttered a "Nope!" before standing up, catching up to the treadmill before I face planted (smooth, I know), smacking the stop button and then sheepishly exiting the treadmill to retrieve my phone from the ground where it came to rest. And most of this while kind of scoff-laughing at myself and praying that no one was paying too much attention to me because they were also learning about crazy weight loss tricks from Dr. Oz.

Don't worry, the experts say my pride will make a full recovery...one day.

Today I swam through files... it's even less entertaining than normal work day. I won't bore you with the details but I'll try to do something that you (my mother) would care to hear about after work. Don't hold your breath though. I'm about as exciting as watching security camera footage of a retirement home.
