Two more things...

I should probably just make that the title of my blog because I feel like I keep making posts titled that...

Anyways, first, there's an apricot tree in my backyard and I just noticed today that there were ripe apricots on the ground. What?! Where are mine? So I looked up at the tree to see if there were any pickable ones. To my utter disappointment, all of the beautiful, edible ones are at the very top of the tree. It's a pretty tall tree. Bummer.

Second (and last),

I found out/decided yesterday that I'm going to Hungary in two and a half weeks. WHAT?!

p.s., this is not a joke, this is real life.

Two things

Two things that made me smirk inwardly on the way to my office this morning.

First, as I was getting through the employees only door (I don't know what to call it), there was someone right behind me. I waited and held the door open for him, mumbling as I did so "here you go!" (if mumbled statements can be punctuated with exclamation points). His response? "You're welcome!!" Whatever dude, *I* held the door open for *you*.

Second, as I was getting off the elevator on my floor, there was an older man walking past the elevator alcove- he's a staff member, but I have no idea what he does or who he really is. Anyways, as he was walking past, he looked at me with the most highly raised eyebrow I've ever seen- a look that said "YOU? Again? Really. Wearing that?" And any number of other smarmy statements. It was just so unexpected I had to laugh.

ALSO. I drove to work today b/c I have errands to run during lunch, and they've been re-painting the lines in the parking garage- section by section, so they'll gate off a section for a couple of days with movable metal barricades while they paint it. Anyways, I tried to turn a corner and didn't quite make it and totally ran into one of the barricades this morning. Luckily it's a very light metal (apparently) and I just kind of shoved it aside. With my boat-car. That was actually the thing that made me laugh the most this morning- there were people around, what can you do but laugh? So that's really three things. Not two. Don't judge me.
