What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 11

I forgot to re-order my thyroid meds and, after remembering, forgot to go to the pharmacy to pick them up. Back out I go! The body doesn't last too long without thyroid juice.

Nothing.

Which may be the most stupid thing ever.

On Saturday I did three loads of laundry. One whites, one colored towels, one blacks. This morning I put on one of the black shirts I had "washed". When I stepped into the elevator, I got a whiff of a funky spell. That isn't too unusual, many times sweaty or over perfumed people who ride that car and leave behind an olfactory "gift".

But when I got into my car, I still smelled it. As I was driving to work, I realized what was going on. I "washed" the black load without any soap!

It was too late to turn around, so I'm just gonna stink for the whole day. And then this evening, I get to blow another $2.50 re-washing all those garments.

It wasn't today, but I remember it all too clearly:

Stupidly, I drank Kava the night before I flew out of a remote Fijian Island.

It was an 18 seat plane without a loo.

Ordinarily the plane stops at another island before the mainland. Fearing the worst, I awaited the landing announcement with great...ummm, make that ernest...anticipation.

A friendly voice announced that there were no passengers to be picked up on that other island, so it didn’t land.

How…efficient. And remotely distant from…civilisation.

Ten thousand feet up. Nice coral. Enjoy the view.

A family of Americans was sitting on the back bench seat. I moved them. Quickly. They wanted to argue, but the wife thought better of it.

Smart woman.

Smarter Captain, as he re-balanced the plane when 5 people suddenly relocated for no apparent reason.

Hitchhiker’s Guide had advised me to travel with a towel. That, the anti-mikasas from several seats, a bottle of Duty-Free Givenchy Gentleman, and my diving-buddy’s Japanese folding fan saved me.

It didn’t save my towel.

I miss it, as it was my favourite…emblazoned with “Life’s A Beach”.

Ain’t that the truth…

This morning I got up at 6 so I could walk my two dogs and get to my client's house at 7:30 to start 10 days of 7 am walks. When I got there, he was in his kitchen. His vacation starts tomorrow. D'oh.

It's always good to verify backups before you actually need to use them.

I use a lot of props at Rocky. So when I'm coming or going to the theater, I carry a cloth grocery bag, three robes on a single hanger, an extension pole, a wooden pointer, and a large portfolio. I.e., my hands are quite full.

After the show last night, I packed my crap into my car and pulled into the street. As I did, I heard a strange sound--sort of like what you hear when you pull a strip of duct tape off of the roll. I just figured I had run over something sticky, so I drove home.

It was not until I parked my car in the garage at home that I figured out what that sound was. It was my portfolio sliding down the edge of my car and falling into the street. I had propped it against my car as I was putting the other crap into the trunk but forgot to pack it. I was exhausted from the show, but I knew I had better drive back to San Pedro ASAP to see if it was still there.

Ergo, my normal 30 minute drive home after the show became a 90 minute round trip and a half. But at least when I got there, the portfolio (and its contents) was dry, undamaged, and lying right there on the street where I had inadvertently left it.

I dropped my keys.

While getting into an elevator.

Right down the shaft.

I can just see them on a ledge.

Good news, I'm getting a good internet connection while I wait for the building guys.

Moonliner · 12-09-2009, 09:15 AM

It's rather funny. A dozen people have walked by and not one of them has asked why I'm standing here blocking the door. Even with the buzzer going off every 45seconds.
