Cell phone cautionary tale

I had a really good laugh last night at the hockey game, a friend told me about this little move she did. It is totally something that I might do, so it was good to hear it could happen to someone else.

She was at a hockey tournament yesterday when her cell phone rang. She answered it and couldn't hear because of the game, so she went up to the lobby area.

Well, the lobby wasn't much better, so she decided to go into the bathroom where it would be quieter. She was really into the conversation and paced around the bathroom talking to her friend when she was interrupted.

A guy stopped and said, "Lady, you're in the wrong bathroom."

Whoops.

Ha! That is awesome! I bet her face was several shades of red.

I love it! Flying out of RC on the 15th of last month, I did a twist on that move. I raced into a stall, fairly desperate to go and noticed that the feet in the adjacent stall were really big. Then I heard a newspaper rattle. Then I noticed urinals on my way out. Then I smiled sheepishly at the dude staring at me in the mirror as he washed his hands. Then he sat in front of me on the flight to Denver. Then he sat across the aisle on the flight to Birmingham...

Hey--been thinking of you a lot. I rented the first disk of The Office season three...make my dad watch it with me last night. He was even less impressed than the hubby, but that did not stop me from laughing my butt off!

That's like the time my kids raced ahead of me and got into our van at Home Depot. It wasn't until after I actually put three paint cans in the back hatch that I realized that the owner of the van (exact model - but obviously now ours) was in the front seat on her cell phone!! ... I still crack up thinking about that one.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
