You Know It's Going to Be a Weird Day When...
The clock on your computer is an hour slow.
You think it's Friday, but then realize it's only Thursday.
You wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 6:00 am, only to realize it's three in the morning…and you can't go back to sleep.
You ride past your subway stop because you just had to finish that really great chapter. Be happy for a good-weather day. You will have a great walk (or roll) to your office!
The paratransit driver stops at the back end of your building and you are at the front-right where you said you would be. And you are left behind. You call to complain.
The bus driver insists that there's no lift on the bus, although an international access symbol is in plain sight. You disagree, and tell him so. He looks even more confused, and then he says another bus will be along in a moment. After he closes the door and drives away, you sigh, open your book and call the complaint line when you arrive at work.
You find that your cell phone screen has a scratch on it. (Hey, at least the phone still works.)
You discover that the tilt feature on your power chair is broken, and you call the repair company. Busy with other things, you vaguely wonder why no one has phoned. A week later, you discover the message on your cell phone, which you never use unless traveling. You call back twice, don't hear anything, and suddenly the repairman shows up one day and fixes the problems. (Hooray!) Go figure.
Your computer freezes for the fifth time in one day. (What else to do but to reboot?)
You realize you lost your cell phone, house keys, credit card and a favorite bookmark all in one week. No worries…they were just all in different places.
Answer the phone and forget your name, who the person on the other end is and why you called that person in the first place.
But things will be fine….
