Whatever can go wrong probably will!
I had a chance to work from home today because I have enrolled in a class to learn more about WordPress. Oh there’s lots of places to read about it but I felt I needed a instructor to explain it and answer my questions. Working from home would let me go directly into Boston. What could possibly go wrong?
I raced out of the house at 5 pm. My work phone was still blowing up with emails and I got a call as I dashed out the door. It’s also rush hour but the class doesn’t start until 6:30 so I felt like I had plenty of time. As I pulled onto the expressway I pressed OnStar and gave them the address. I didn’t want to take any chance of getting lost. I also wanted to know my eta.
Where’s the RUSH in Rush Hour?
Bad News. It was 11 miles and 54 minutes. WHAT?! 54 minutes to go 11 miles? That’s really bad. Turns out they were right. Shortly after I activated OnStar traffic came to a screeching halt. We crawled. I could have walked faster!
Then as if I wasn’t late enough, OnStar took me to the wrong address. I thought they were just routing me around the traffic. Nope. I have no idea where I ended up but it wasn’t where I wanted to be. After another call to OnStar and new directions I finally arrived at my destination at 7:30 pm. I’d missed half of the class.
No Need to be Rude, Dude.
I earned a really dirty look from the instructor who refused to accept my apology. His response was “Don’t expect me to hold up the class for you”. Of course I was left without any direction to catch up. I was on my own. I finally gave up and logged into my new blog so I could follow along without messing up this space.
I picked up some tips but the most exciting thing is that I learned how to add Videos.
This is my first attempt!
I love this video of Buddy. It always makes me laugh and now I can share it! Yay!
Oh Dusty, sorry for your troubles 😕I’m sure that’s the last thing you would’ve expected from your instructor, definitely uncalled for. Here’s hoping your other classes go better. Awesome job on the video. 😀👍
We were talking about it at work and decided it’s a geek thing. If you watch the Big Bang Theory that whole show is built on the social awkwardness of Geeks. I can understand him being upset about a late arrival, especial one an hour late, but I was pretty stressed after all that too! Still I learned a new trick so it was all worthwhile.
Nice video sis. I remember Buddy, playing with his toys. Good job.
Thanks Sis
Ain’t traffic fun?! Keep learning. Fun video!
Thanks Patti. So nice to see you again. I’ve got 4 more classes. Can’t wait to see what I learn in those!
Appreciating the persistence you put into your site and in depth information you provide. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Thank you
