Dumb Little Random Observation
I took my car to the dealer yesterday
for routine maintenance, leaving it there and taking their handy-dandy shuttle
to the office. All day I felt like I had forgotten something, then would
realize it was that my car wasn't in the parking
lot.
I mentioned this to my
friend/colleague Chris, who pointed to his empty wrist, where his wristwatch
should have been, and said, "I know
exactly
how you feel."
For some
reason, this incredibly apt (to me) analogy helped an awful lot. I stopped
feeling like I had forgotten something and decided it was way better to have the
car in the shop than to have forgotten my wristwatch. Of course, had I
forgotten my wristwatch and taken the car to the shop and was therefore unable
to drive home to get the wristwatch? Let's just not even go there. It's
horrifying to contemplate how addicted to some objects I am.
