I might be a well known character in disguise
I think I am the White Rabbit in a different life.
He's late, he's late, for a very important date.
The story of my life.
I am always in a rush. Always doing stuff at the last minute.
Sometimes it is procrastination, sometimes I am busy but usually it's because is just screwed up on the times.
Be somewhere to buy raffle tickets? I barely get there, thinking I am half an hour early but actually at the closing time of the booth.
You've heard me say it hundreds of times..... I just get cobbled.
And it is not a new development.
Before Jackie and I were married, we went to a going away party for a college friend. Jackie asked me dozens of times about the party and I always said it was at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Well, we were 24 hours late. It was on Saturday.
I almost got on the wrong train twice because I did not read the complete listing. And it's always because I procrastinate or just get rushed.
Like this week. I do a column for the local paper every second and fourth Sunday. I write the column on Wednesday-Thursday and e-mail it Thursday night.
I got in a hurry Thursday night and finished the column late at night. I then sent it to the wrong person! Sure, the first names were the same, but I was in a hurry and did not check the total drop down menu.
We had a Buffett party today and I went for a brief while....but again, I was in a rush to get there and in a rush to leave, so much so that I forgot about having a good time in the middle. I was enjoying the company when the White Rabbit appeared and started shouting , "You're late! You're late!"
Sad thing is, I will never change. I'm too old a dog to learn new tricks.
Now, I'm going to bed before the day ends.
Peace and love to all.
