One of Those Days

Today my mind is fighting my attempts at sanity, and it has been an amusing day to view my thoughts and actions in hindsight.
It started when I arrived to my temp job and the front door was locked. I stood there for a good few minutes as though I could stare the lock into submission and the door would obligingly open itself. When this didn't happen I headed back to my car, called one of the people I work with (who informed me that if no one showed up they would be arriving in 20), and then tried to decide what to do in the mean time. I considered driving down the street to the post office box to send some letters, or heading to the gas station for an energy drink, and in the process got distracted by an oatmeal bar I found in my glove box. As I munched away a co-worker arrived and saved the day...and the remainder of my oatmeal bar.
At lunch I headed to the court house to find a date for Friday...oh how I wish I wasn't joking. I really went to get a form for adding pages to your passport. It took me longer than is excusable to figure out the maze that leads you to the metal detector machine, during which i actually got PASSED by a swift old lady and a kind-faced Hispanic family.
I made it up to the correct floor, got the form, and headed back to the ground floor where I exited the wrong door and found myself boxed in by security gates and a building on each side. About this time I was thinking "what kind of cruel genius architect drew up this place?". Thankfully two officers were there and kindly pointed out the clearly marked exit that had stared me in the face as I exited the elevator...I'm pretty sure they wanted to drug test me on the spot, but even in heels I'm quick and scurried away before they made a move.
The afternoon has proven uneventful, but it is amazing how a multi-line phone can out smart you...making you question the wisdom of your investment in a college education and our culture's continual push for "smart technology". With smarts comes sass, and I prefer to think I have the upper-hand in that relationship.
