Did you happen to see where I left my head?

Have you ever just had one of those days where you can’t seem to keep your head on straight? I mean, that would have to be about every day for the President, and possibly every other work day or so for most other people in government (let alone the average executive: golf or luncheon?), but for me? To be frank, I’m not exactly Mr. Precision himself, but one could consider me rather more on than off, most of the time… Which is why today is such a flubbing flop of a flummox.

I’ve called several contacts by the wrong name, done things any right-minded salesperson would cringe at, asked inappropriate questions at inopportune times. In short, I appear a total boob, and would be doing myself less damage were I elsewhere (A.K.A., not servicing my customers). The one upside to all this bru-ha-ha is that I’m supposed to be going to see Persepolis tonight with Terra Firma as kind of a roomie-night thing. Orpheus is getting his well-deserved night off, and I think I’ll be laying off the damned booze. Lately, there’s always alcohol in my hand and in my gullet post-workday, which is a pattern all too familiar to me through long experience at home with my parents the band directors. Last night, I just drank with dinner, and it was only white wine. Sweet white wine. Hooray for pork, which doesn’t go with anything else!!!

Interestingly, Sister visited last night, and was helping Terra Firma with dinner while I was attempting to finish up my effort at the same. She finally has a job, which is just tops. She’ll be working part-time as a unit coordinator in a cardiac intermediary unit, with its’ own small attached ICU. She can do this in addition to school and volunteering as an EMS once a month. I admire her work ethic. Also, she’ll soon be able to afford to take Terra’s old car off her hands (Ms. Firma got a brand new Ford Focus, leaving her poor little old Volkswagen orphaned – the perfect vehichle for Sister). This means she’ll be able to drive out under her own power to join us for roommate nights in the future, and not have to worry so much about making ends meet while going to school.

Anyway, I’m about out of steam. At least the post fairly well reflects my scatter-brained-ness, if nothing else. Have a lovely day.
