Bizarre late for work happenings #1

Yeah my brother Tim was just here to save my day.

I am one of these people always late for work. I set my alarm clock 2 1/2 hours from when I need to get up so I have ample time to get ready- this has proved not to work. I just keep doing things before I leave and have bizarre happennings before I leave that drag me in to the 10-30 minute late zone. I need to meditate and get out of this twilight late zone: So back to Tim being here:

Thurs last week I was taking a shower in my claw foot bathtub when the suspended shower curtain fell from the ceiling on one end. Yup it fell from the ceiling hanging there from the shower head end and me peeking over the curtain lifting it up to try and reinsert it. I stepped out of the shower dripping wet to grab the screw driver that is handily in reach for just such occassions. Now n my toes reaching up over my head pressing this piece back in to the pipe that is held into place by a screw that is pressing against it, when conveniently the other end pops loose- yup and the geyserous water sprays straight up into the air rebounding off my ceiling and spraying my wall with water. Here I am with conditioner dripping into my eyes and the shower curtain around me like an awkward halloween costume trying to insert one end while the other keeps popping out. Finally I decided to shut off the shower as I wasn't really sure what had happenned- it was on the outside of my curtain. With determination and saying outloud in a teary voice- "I am not going to start crying!!!". I plugged the shower water and drew a bath to finish washing up for work and rinse my eyes and hair. I left the shower drooping from the showerhead side and attatched a note for future shower users "use the upstairs shower- out of order". This is typical of my "bizarre before work" happennings. Thank God my boss loves me and understands crap happens.

Tim just fixed it, and I love him for it.
