Signs I might be a bit distracted... [More:]I was getting ready to leave for work this morning, and I gave myself the patdown to make sure I had all the essentials (wallet, cell phone, nicotine lozenges, etc)...

Oops, no wallet. Also, no pants.

I thought that only happened in poorly written television shows.
Signs I might be distracted -

I read patdown as pathogen.

Ahahahaha!! As your surely-in-some-life/parallel universe sister, I feel that it's my responsiblility to tell you that I was once missed a class because I was frantically searching for the glasses that I was wearing.

Also, I hope the source of your distraction is more positive than negative.

Yesterday I told off my preschooler for not being able to find the bag that I had forgotten I'd picked up and was holding in my hand.

I'm sure your professor understood completely, once you explained the situation.

Also, I hope the source of your distraction is more positive than negative.


It's been a craptastically tough week, but this morning was absurdly fantastic.

Do you say to yourself: "testicles, spectacles, wallet and watch"? This is the mantra I use during my patdown. I check for keys when I say testicles and a pen when I say watch, but I say it religiously.

One morning I got up, ground some coffee, then put it in the soap dispenser of my dishwasher. Its a conundrum: how to make coffee before you've had coffee?

hahaha, stickycarpet!

I've had mornings like that, when you're just staring at the coffeemaker, with thick, dull thoughts in your head like "that's the uh, the thing that makes the, um, the coffee-thing, the, um, the button that..um, coffee...."

HA!

Today mosch is the honorary Minister Of No Pants.

I've done that several times: putting my thermals on, then my socks, then my boots, grabbing my bag, rushing to the door, looking down, realizing that there are no pants on my legs.

It's a sign that you're truly living, mosch, really.

I can't say I've ever left the house with no pants (except when it was intentional). But yesterday I walked to work and on arriving realised I had forgotten to bring the key to my office. I couldn't go back home and get it either - my house key is on the same keyring.

I was wondering why it felt so good!

omiewise: sadly no. Perhaps I'd be better at the patdown if I had a rhyme.

matildaben: only one day? bah!

Dammit, I need to stop reading metachat in safari. it keeps on hiding comments from me!
