saturday night
it started as such a simple task. i had to go copy off the bulletins for tomorrow. and the disk was in my day planner. so i started my search to find the day planner.
none of this would have happened if someone (circle one: damon/beth/dana) had gone with me.
they could have suggested i look in my apartment when it wasnt in the car. then i wouldnt have had to talk to the police man. and i wouldnt have had to interrupt bob during his family dinner. and the alarm at work wouldnt have gone off.
they could have suggested i use the cell phones sitting on the desk behind me when the phone lines didnt work. then i wouldnt have had to drive 5 blocks to use a borrowed phone at a gas station that didnt have a pay phone.
but they werent there, and they couldnt have suggested anything.
so i ended up running to work and setting off the security alarm (thinking it didnt turn on until 11 [which it does on the weekdays... its 8 on the weenends]).
all the while my nice little blue disk was sitting in my nice little purple day planner sitting in the nice little entryway in my nice little apartment.
the 45 minute adventure could have easily taken five minutes. i prefer to do things the hard way.
