PANIC

30/10/2014

3 Comments

 
Good morning, Readers.

LAKS DL;F HWV;OIYF'OJ IUSHMCWMLAGLSBF SVELN IUAYFXNEPGA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ahem.  Pardon me.  I'm just panicking.  A bit.

Alright, a lot.

There is the more immediate panic, from which I am now recovering, of this morning, when I opened my eyes and discovered that I had awoken at the precise time I ought to have been leaving the house if I had any chance of getting to work on time.  I had, it seems, left my alarm clock (my phone) in the living room last night.  It sounded on time... I just couldn't hear it.

I am an idiot.

So I woke up with a realisation no unlike that of Hugh Grant's character in Four Weddings and a Funeral (before my reputation is destroyed, I watched that under duress), and then ran around the house like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get ready.

I am extremely fortunate that the Amazing Flatmate was around and that she was getting a ride into town for her work.  She was also starting at 9:00 am.  I flung myself around getting ready, and made it just in time for the ride to arrive.  So thanks Amazing Flatmate's mum.  You rock.

The other bit of panic is the fact that, despite being told that they have shipped, the books I ordered (and absolutely require) for this Sunday's book launch have not yet arrived.  There were supposed to be here Tuesday.  There are only two delivery days left and I'm panicking. A bit.

Alright, a lot.

GAH!

They're usually so good about getting the books out in time.  In the three years I have been using them, they've been late only once.  This better not be a second time, because I will cry.  I'm seriously stressed.

I'm not sure what I can do if they don't arrive in time.  Cry?  I'm most upset for my readers, many of whom have already reserved copies to be picked up at the launch.  What if the books aren't there for them?  I'm don't want anyone to be disappointed on my account.  The thought of disappointing my readers upsets me a lot.

Sigh.  Well, there's nothing I can do.  I'll just pray the books make it on time and chew my nails until they arrive.

I must have faith.  They will arrive on time.  They will...

Seriously, though.  I'm fine.  I'm going to do some Welsh lessons now to try and calm down.  After all, frustration is better than panic, no?

Ciao!

Do you need (or may be want is a better word) a ride on Sunday? Let me know via FB.

Oh, and my fingers and toes are crossed for package delivery. You should see the looks I am getting at work walking around with my toes crossed...:)
