Thursday…Again.

Woke up this morning and promptly fired off an email to my workmates letting them know I would be coming into the office a little later than usual. I had to stay home and let the Terminix guy into the house to take care of an ant problem in the kitchen. He was due to arrive at 9:00 a.m.

When he still hasn’t arrived at 9:30, I call the Terminix office to make sure he’s going to come before 10:00 so I can go to work.

Terminix Lady: “He should be on his way. Let me call him and find out where he is and I’ll call you right back.”

Me: “Sure. That sounds fine.”

Ten minutes pass and the phone finally rings.

Terminix Lady: “I’m sorry, sir. Nick (the Terminix Guy) had the appointment scheduled for Friday at 9:00 a.m. Is that going to be okay with you?”

Me: “…”

Terminix Lady: “Sir?”

Me: “What’s today?”

Terminix Lady: “Thursday.”

Me: “{dammit}”

I just did a Thursday yesterday. Imagine my horror upon realizing I’d have to do it all over again.

I hate it when I get a day ahead of myself.
