So you know I have to share the story behind this candy bouquet…right? Now that I’ve quit laughing uproariously and rolling on the floor.
Every month, as the librarian, I contribute a short article for an insert that goes into our weekly newspaper. The gal who organizes and puts together that insert is named Deb. Usually when Deb sends me the reminder email, I drop what I am doing to get it done lest I forget. However, the email for the February article came really early in January (1/11) and wasn’t actually due back to Deb until Monday (1/23)…since I had a lot going on when the email came I left it in my inbox thinking I would work on it my next day in the Library. Guess what…I forgot.
So Tuesday, I got a couple of voicemails from Deb asking if I’d sent my article cuz if I had, she couldn’t find it.
Tuesday was one of those days that felt like a Monday…everything I touched was turning to shit! And I had expressed to a couple of people earlier in the morning that I needed to have my head extricated from my ass and get it together.
I called Deb back apologizing, telling her I’d head into the library, write my article and get it to her within a half hour. I also informed her that I’d made an appointment with a surgeon to have a “Rectal-Cranial Inversion” so I could get my shit together and be on the ball.
After I emailed Deb my article, the following exchange took place via email:
Deb: thanks Pam, The very best of luck with your surgical procedure. Deb
Me: Thank you…thankfully it’s an outpatient procedure with local anesthetic
Deb: It must be a groundbreaking procedure because although I’ve been afflicted with the disease many times, no one has ever suggested this solution.
Me: Ya…it’s quick and easy…just in and out!
Deb: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Out loud!!!!
Ok I’m going back to work. Have a better day!
So today I am back in the library, working away, when in comes a delivery (see pic above) with a note that says
“Best Wishes on Your Rectal-Cranial Inversion Surgery”
I knew exactly who it was from! I laughed so hard I think I piddled in my pants a little bit and had to share my reaction! Oh My God…Deb, I so owe ya one!
