I was helping a friend (Gwenn) get her water back on while she was out of town and had to chase the maintenance guys around the city. "Where are you?" I asked. "At the mosque" was the reply.
At the mosque? Really? That's like saying "I am in a bar in Dubuque. Come find me."*
And tonight it hit me: I have a lot of work to get done by Thursday. A LOT. I am soo screwed... and a good part of the work is stuff I brought on myself by volunteering. I will never learn: Volunteering is for suckers.
It's probably a good thing I had my head shaved; I'm likely to lose what little hair I have left.
* For the uninitiated, Dubuque has the second most bars per capita of any city in the world - whether true or not, it is a fact believed by all Dubuquers.

After sending a gentle reminder to my colleagues I received this from one of them:

Dead steve,
I am sorry I was off and sick the whole week. I will send the case study tomorrow latest !
"Dead steve." I'll assume and hope it's a typo.
And with the new hair, or lack thereof, you look like on of those people about whom I could one day find myself saying to reporters, "I never knew he was capable of that."
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me laugh on a day when I needed a laugh! Except now you'll have to say, "Well, he did mention this possible on his blog..."
