My encounter with the rain this morning:
Me, juggling my regular bag, gym bag, lunch tupperware (in a bag), umbrella, and Express paper (because I can't resist my daily crossword), my metro pass, and reaching for a pencil with not a hand to do anything else, while trying not to fall down on the metro.
My encounter at the doctor's office today:
Receptionist: we only have one number on file for you, do you want to add another number?
Me: no, I don't have a home number, so that one is fine.
Receptionist: do you have an office number?
Me: I'd rather not have you call my office because it's just a general number; you can always call my cell
Receptionist: you don't have an extension?
Me: I'd rather you not call my office, the cell number is fine
Receptionist: we can put 'do not call' next to it
Me: if you're not going to call then why do you need it?
Receptionist: in case we can't get through on the other number and we have to call
Me: but I don't want you to call my office
Receptionist: ok, I'll let the doctor know
Me: ok, thanks, bye
Receptionist: [click]
My encounter with the fire alarm today:
It's not so much that I came home and the fire alarm was going off, it's that the fire alarm was going off so quietly that I can only assume it's broken. And I'm not annoyed at the noise it's making, but more disturbed that if there were an actual fire (Ed: so far, no fire on the floor), that pathetic alarm wouldn't alert anyone, especially me and I sleep like a baby. And by "sleep like a baby" I don't mean well, I mean waking up every few hours until I see the light of day.
Happy Birthday Jordan!
