Embarrassing moment

Yesterday I was in the middle of a transcription job when the phone rang. Caller ID said "wireless caller" and a number I didn't recognize.  It looked like something scammy, so I answered in Korean.  The caller seemed to be thrown off by that, and she stammered and fumbled.  I can't speak Korean very well or very fast, so I just made up some high-pitched Asian sounding words and spewed them out in a jumble.  The caller was pretty quick to end the call.  Mission accomplished.

A few minutes later, I got a message on Facebook.  It was from the vet tech who was supposed to be coming to give my babies their rabies shot. This is how it went:

Hi Janel I tried calling you but I think we have the wrong number. I wanted to see if you’d like to move your appointment to tomorrow morning. We just had an unexpected kitten visit and of course it has an upper respiratory virus. I would not like to spread it to your kitties!!

Janel

No virus for us, thanks. Tomorrow is great. What time?

By the way, did a crazy Asian person answer when you called?

Yes yes they did lol

I panicked

Janel

HAHA! No way! I'm so sorry. I thought it was a telemarker, so I put on my "I don't speak no English" act.

YOU ARE A MENACE

I WAS PANICKING

Janel

Ok, now I'm a little embarrassed. Sorry.

Dr. Campbell is dying right now

Janel

Did she hear it?

No but I just told her. I wish you could have seen my face after.

Janel

I'm changing the contact in my phone so it now says "vet" instead of "wireless caller" so you will not hear from crazy Asian lady again.

I’m seriously cracking up. How about 9:30-10:30?

Janel

Sounds perfect. Thanks.

I promise I will attempt to be normal.

We need things like this to happen in a day because sometimes we seriously need a laugh.

Janel

Happy to amuse you. Come in through the garage like you live here. Don't know, or the cats will scatter.

*knock, not know

Okay no problem. Also, we don’t like normal. Normal is boring.

Losing our minds by degrees

I'm the youngest person in the water fitness class at the gym by at least 20 years.  Today I stayed in the pool to do a little extra work after everyone else left.  I saw that someone had left her water bottle by the pool, so I took it to the locker room to catch her before she left.  I've been going there long enough to recognize people's water bottles, and I was 99% sure whose this was.  I saw her towel outside the shower, so I put the bottle next to her towel.  I thought I'd better make sure, so I yelled in and asked if she'd left her water bottle by the pool.  She yelled back, "No, I sure didn't."  I said, "Oh, then I don't know whose this is."  She opened the shower curtain and pointed to the bottle that I had just put there and said, "Well it's not mine, because that's mine right there. I'm not losing my mind yet."  I smirked to myself and said, "Yep, you've still got it!"

Then I went to the locker room to get my stuff, opened the locker I thought I had left my stuff in, and it was empty.  Immediately I thought, "Who stole my ratty Tshirt and stinky shorts?" but then I realized I didn't use that locker today because it was already full when I arrived.  So I opened another locker that I sometimes use when my favorite one isn't available.  It was empty too.  I stood there staring at the rows of lockers with absolutely no clue where my stuff was.  I started opening random ones, and then noticed the young person (looked like early 20's) standing at the sink, apparently smirking at me.  She said, "Did you forget which locker you used?"  Right then I opened the correct one, so I said, "No, this is the one. I'm not losing my mind yet."
