Hello Everyone, Sometimes you just have to laugh. Today was just another day of trying to get it all done and stay on the protocol too. You all know how it is. If we're not home, we have to haul so much "stuff" with us to make sure we stay in compliance with everything we need to do. Like many of you, I have a full time job, so packing up and going is nothing new. However...today...as I was making a beeline around the kitchen to pack up lunch, snacks, etc., I realized I'd left my usual lunch bag in my office...only...I wasn't going to my office...I had to be at another building all day. I ran to the pantry to see what I could find to pack everything in and found this big insulated shiny bag. It looked about right, so I threw everything in it plus a couple of frozen blue ice things to keep everything cold. It got big...like Jiffy Pop on steroids, but it was time to go to work, so I just grabbed it and ran out the door. No good parking place at my destination, which meant parking in the back forty of the far parking lot. Even without considering the lunch stuff, I had a lot to take inside, so I spent several minutes in the parking lot trying to figure out how to balance everything on my rolling brief case so I wouldn't have to make a second trip to the car. The big bulky foil bag had no handle, so that created another challenge. Finally, I mushed it down as well as possible and stuffed it inside my exploding purse and looped it on the handle of my rolling bag. As I was doing this and trying to keep this mountain of stuff from tipping over, the absurdity of EVERYTHING just started coming over me and I started laughing so hard I could hardly stop. The whole thing was just so ridiculous...it looked like I had stuffed a giant baked potato in my purse. Walking around with this couldn't do much for any kind of professional image. I mean...how can anyone look even halfway credible when they are hauling around what looks like a giant baked potato? But...we do what we have to do...and sometimes what we have to do is to laugh hysterically in a far parking lot all by ourselves. Ok...I know this doesn't sound completely balanced...and I did have some concerns after that about the possibility of having some seriously dysfunctional emotional issues...but upon more detailed evaluation, I realized that... I DID get inside in one trip... And I DID have food available for the day. And I DID get all my work done... And I DIDN'T do anything to embarrass the family (other than the parking lot hysteria that I don't think anyone saw), so...I guess that's sane enough to get by...at least for today. Hey...Brian...I think you'd written a post asking how to manage all of this at work. Here's your answer! Just find an insulated foil bag the size of a weather balloon and it should be big enough to to hold all your food and supplements for one day. Warmly, Karen | ||||||

Hi Karen, I just finished reading this thread and it made me smile when you wrote about looking up one day and realizing you were no longer the "young one" :-) I still remember when that happened to me. I was at work and a very young woman, probably around 20 years old, called me ma'am. I asked her something and she said, "Yes ma'am". I was astonished! Then I had to face the harsh reality that I had become old enough to be called ma'am by a 20 year old :-) You writing about going from being the "young one" to the "experienced one" to the "OLD ONE" is so funny. You might have felt like geriatric Barbie wearing that glamorous Dolly wig and swinging your hair around, but I can tell that you are very young at heart. That is a wonderful thing that age can't change. Thank you for this humorous thread. Cheryl | ||||||

Hello Everyone, Here is a story with a good ending...things weren’t as bad as I thought! This morning, I got in my car to drive to work. It was a usual morning...except for one thing...today (Friday) is the day that precedes a one week holiday for Thanksgiving. It’s been a long stretch of work without a break, and I have added massive house renovations to the mix during this time as well. Suffice it to say, I’m lucky to get out the door and make it through the day without embarrassing the family by saying or doing something regrettable. So...this morning...the last day before a long awaited break, was the pinnacle of my being at risk of faulty reasoning and / or poor judgement. And I didn’t fail to meet the criteria for either possibility. I drive thirty five miles each way to work into the sun...east to work, and west toward home. That means lots of heavenly sunlight in my car depending on the time of year. Since daylight savings time went away a couple of weeks ago, I’m now enjoying sunshine on the way to work in the mornings. This morning, I was just driving along as usual listening to an audible book (The Poisonwood Bible...it’s a good one if you haven’t already read it) and happened to notice multiple little white fibers floating in the air and reflecting in the sunlight. I immediately went into panic mode...oh no!!!!! What is this???? The dreaded fibers!!!!! Why is this happening at this stage of the game???? I’d actually started crying...and my mind went into all kinds of places that included doom and gloom. Then I paused to think for a minute (a really hard thing for me to do when I get like this). What had I done right before noticing these floating white fibers? Then I realized what had happened...I’d popped up a Kleenex just a short time before noticing the floating fibers. Sometimes good things happen. Of course, sometimes I "make" bad things happen...like the scary floating things in my car...but stopping to think about it long enough made me realize I had nothing to worry about...which was the good thing. Whew! That’s such a relief because it’s my job to worry about everything! One less worry thing on my list makes the upcoming days off look even sweeter. So...lesson learned...don’t borrow trouble. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Love, Karen | ||||||
