Pulling people out of the ditc...

I'm so bad at remembering people. At the last conference I attended a very nice gentleman came over and addressed me by name and knew where I worked and was asking me how things were going, etc. I had no idea how I knew him. I just nodded and smiled and asked as many general questions as I could hoping he wouldn't be able to tell. i think that was your husband...

Leaving the store this morning, I noted this Awkward Penguin behavior in myself:
Push exit door with right shoulder. It doesn’t budge. Push again. Look at door in consternation. Door is locked. Switch to other door and push with left shoulder, finally, exit.
P.S. Two decrepit old ladies, wraparound sunglasses, approaching storefront. Don't want to touch door with skin. Pretend not to see old ladies.

The fact that I managed to carry a 40-lb bag of dog food and two bags of canned food (a dozen cans) from the register inside the pet store to my car without dropping anything or face planting today was nothing short of a miracle.

that happens to me all the time
at restaurant - waitress "enjoy your meal" me - "you too"
or boarding a flight and they scan my ticket
attendant - "enjoy your flight" me - "you too"
it's when they veer from the expected "have a nice day" that I freeze up

I left a voicemail for myself, and said "Thanks!" at the end of it... Hmmmmmm maybe being awkward with oneself is the penultimate awkwardness? I too leave myself reminder voicemails a few times a week, sometimes while very sleepy, but often closing with the uplifting signature, "Good luck dude! You're awesome!"

One of my finer moments was then I ended a call with a coworker with "love you, bye."

Last week, I sent an email to my husband asking him to stop at the store and pick up a few things on the way home.
At least I thought I sent it to my husband. In reality, I sent it to a coworker. Oops!

On that note, Hoosier, I sent an email to my ex thinking I was sending it TJ. I called my ex a db. Oopsie.
