I swear I am dyslexic
I helped at a speech meet today. I was supposed to be in room 301 at 11:30. So at 11:15 I settle in the room and ask for critique sheets.
After getting them, I look at my list and realize I am supposed to be in room 344.
I apologize, give back the sheets and leave.
I get into the hallway and look to double check......and I am supposed to be in room 344 at 12:30.
I was in the right room, but was looking at the wrong sheet.
I went back into the room and apologized, asking for the sheets again.
I have done that a couple of times at speech tournaments. If I am supposed to be in 321, I go to 312.
The only time I seem to be right is when it is 101 or 222.
And it is pretty darn eye opening when you are sitting in a room filled with people who you realize could be one quarter your age! I could be their great grandpa in some cases!! Or at least grand dad.
One of the funniest lines I heard today: a boy said, "I have literally been standing here for 30 seconds....and yes, I timed it."
I thought it was funny.
A bar owner in New York City has posted a sign that says anyone using the word literally will be thrown out. He is tired of people using it incorrectly, so he literally plans to toss them! Figuratively speaking, I bet he has said that a million times.
And the best news of the day....garbage men came before 7 and picked up the garbage I did not put out yesterday because they said they were a day late but came on time.
All's well that doesn't smell.
Peace and love, dudes and dudettes!
