Just one of THOSE days

Yesterday was just one of those days.

It started normal, and then slowly turned into strangeness... Maybe it has something to do with getting up earlier than usual. Half an hour can really make a difference.

So I stumble along to a day course on a new computer system. Yeah. 12 adults and a very young teacher. And he takes it slow... Very slow. I had time to do everything else, as well as paying attention. And one of the participants had only good things to say about a person there is nothing good to say. Smile and nod. And the evaluation question: "How do you rate your own efforts today?" (rather dumb question), just made it very temting to mark the highest grade.

After this was finished, I stole cake, not in a discreet way, to a friend in sugar need.

Cake delivered, I went to the grocery store, where the person in the check out line was happy. He even said "have a nice day" to every single one of us. Shocking.

Safely at home, making dinner, someone knocks on my door. This never happens. So I open the door, in the dark for some reason, and outside there is a tall thin man, slightly wet from the rain and out of breath, who did not expect that the door with Star Trek posters belongs to a girl. So he handed me a flyer, and stuttered something about the up coming election.

Later I was going out to meet some friends, on a normal Monday. This resulted in a person asking to borrow my phone. I have just gotten a new phone, so this was not an option. Instead I offered some money for a payphone. This was received with God Bless You! And many thanks. And many more God Bless You.

When she left, a man comes up to me, and wonders when the grocery store closes. Since we we're going on the same bus he strikes up a conversation. And follows me to the café. And when I'm about to go in, and says bye, he asks me if he can see me again this weekend. "No, I have exams, I have to spend my weekends preparing". Next weekend. "No, I'm not going out any more. I have to study for exams. But it was very nice meeting you. Bye".

Thank goodness the waiter was kind of a dish. And there was no more strangeness.
