6/15/07
Thursday morning was peculiar. I forgot to set the alarm on Wednesday night. Thanks to Spot I woke up and checked the clock only to discover it was 7:34 a.m.. After some rushing around I was out the door and on the road by 7:40.

Once I got my fat ass in the car I looked back because something in the back of my mind was saying, "You forgot something." When I looked back at the little alleyway that I use to get to the back of the house I saw a person with short brown hair wearing a horizontally striped shirt. The shirt had thick tan and black stripes. I blinked, stared again and decided to get out and investigate the matter.

No one was in the backyard, no one was in the driveway, no one was in the little stairway alcove of the yellow subdivision, no one was walking in the area between the north side of the house and the meth clinic. I waddled back to the car and drove out to Weber. No one was on the sidewalk at all.

Anyway this weirded me out because I did see a person walking around and I'm pretty damned certain it wasn't a trick of the light.

meanwhile

Work was weird today. Things dried up around eleven a.m. but no one was sent home. Everyone sat at their desks waiting for apps to be handed out to everyone and then processing them before sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

Slow days are always the worst days, moreso when no one is given the opportunity to go home.

paranoia

Out of sheer anxiety I drove all the way home for lunch. Everything was fine, nothing was out of order and Spot's in the pink. Anyway it made me feel better so I didn't stew for the last couple of glacial hours at work.

For those of you reading this from the near future, a glacier was a large body of ice and snow which would slowly move downhill.
