Starting off on the wrong foot

 Ok, I realize that I am about to make myself very vulnerable to the ridicule of everyone, but the story is just so unbelievable it needs to be shared.

Over the past few months I have been doing steady out of town work for one of our clients. Up until now I have flown to all our destinations, however, this month their semenar is in Dallas and driving is the chosen method of transportation. So last week after 2-3 weeks of preperation with the A/V geeks and the presenters, I load up all my gear, borrow the bosses truck, and drive all the way to Dallas. Shortly after arriving, I call my contact to ask him where to unload. I am met with slince, followed by,"are you serious", followed by,"the semenar is NEXT WEEK."                            WTF!                       How in the world could I talk with a half dozen people for over 2 weeks, and end up driving 6 hours a week early! Even after having time to contimplate this, I still do not understand how no one noticed. This is my personal Twilight Zone episode.

So, I am currently posting from the beautiful Hilton hotel in Dallas, TX (on the correct week). Feel free to laugh, some how I feel that I deserve it, but I don't know why.

Seriously, I think I would have thrown up if that was me. And then I would have gone to Ikea and visited some friends, and then drove home. What a huge bummer. I bet it did feel like the Twilight Zone. Or like a dream where you cant see peoples faces or move at a normal speed.

I have a personal theory. I was sick and you were so kind and didn't request the usual "date" night we have before you leave. Sure you took me out to dinner, but then you watched a movie while I tossed and turned feverishly. See? Bad karma! SO, this time we did everything right and no Twilight Zone.

Also, so that everyone understands how HAPPY I was for the screw up: my dad was out of town and I was to work Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. All day. And I was sick. And Jesse got sick, then later had a seizure. So I guess really I should thank God and be happy. And tell my husband he is not stupid. Because it could have been worse. He could have gone to the wrong city!

Since everyone else was so nice to you, I'm gonna be mean at least a little. Haha, you're a travelling noob. Haha. But that's actually something that I personally would do, I'm sure. So it's ok.

I still randomly laugh out loud about this.

Thanks for recommending me to your boss for the infomercial - I'm really stoked. I won't let you down either!

When I read your story and got to the kicker, I momentarily had that feeling like when you go over the drop on a roller coaster. It was as if it happened to me. And I agree with the comparison to an episode of the Twilight Zone. Sorry it happened to you, but it sure makes for a good story.

Aww, that is so sweet that Dan didn't rip you to shreds! What empathy.

So, I am curious if anyone is going to just be really mean about this.......It just seems so obvious.

I was saddened that Solo and Blujai couldn't make it to our guild Beerfest run. Although Deborah pointed out it was probably pretty short notice to find someone to sit on your kids. Amulet and I should be back in Siloam (hopefully) for Wellington Skydive's car-show show; hopefully we'll catch you then.

So perhaps, one day, you will return and let the world know that you do, in fact, live.

In the mean time, you are lucky no know is mocking you!
