Ok, that title is more figurative than literal. Have you ever heard the saying "measure twice, cut once"? Well, sometimes I measure once, oh brother, another metaphor gone bad. Anyway...
My friend Gayla called me today. Gayla works for AACC the college we rent space from. She is getting ready to head out of town and wanted to send the invoice for this semester's rent because she's getting ready to go away, and the school is closing, yada, yada.
So I called her back, and as we were talking she said, "cause you know the school is closed this weekend." (play sound of screeching tires) WHAT? I replied calmly, "Oh, you mean next weekend the 25th." She said, "Oh yeah, that's what I meant."
For that moment though this lump crawled up into my throat, and I thought I might cry like a baby. Not really, but I thought I'd add another metaphor.
