Two Reasons

Surprisingly, I woke up in time for work today and wasn’t a complete wreck. I even had enough time to speak with BeCuz for a bit while she was making her way to spend time with her mother (getting a head start on the greeting card holiday). While speaking with her, I accidentally hung up on her. This is something I do regularly, not just to her, to everyone. Not on purpose, it mostly happens when I’m holding my phone to my left ear. I swear my left cheek heats up and protrudes, resulting in disconnections. I quickly rang BeCuz back and she apologized, stating it was her “damn touch phone.” Hmmm, maybe it isn’t about my cheek.

Upon arriving at work I was informed of a suspicious situation. As usual, I stepped right in to help. While on the phone with realtor, attorney, and intel gatherer, OregganO, my left cheek caused the phone to go into merge call mode. It took a minute, but I figured it out. When I hung up, I was telling my boss I really didn’t know how to use my phone. She told me that maybe I should have a dumb phone instead of a smart phone.

I came home to find That’s Not Chinese patiently waiting for me on the porch. We were chatting about a variety of really important things when I told her I had two reasons for not wanting to go to work today. I started with 1) and ended with b); she liked that. I’m glad I didn’t have three things to tell her – I would have to decide between 3 and c.
