11:26 pm - My brain on cheese
I really can't believe I still have a car.
I had to go into work tonight to facilitate the membership meeting which runs until 11PM-ish. I was feeling sorry for myself. I was tired and tired of driving. I had some books to return to  anarqueso, my framed Hunter Safety diploma from 1979, and two wheels of Rinconada Pozo Tomme that had been sitting above ice in the cooler in my trunk. I was distracted. But that's no excuse. I've never done anything like this, if anything I'm kind of obsessive about this kind of thing.
I didn't realize I didn't have my keys until the sound system was put away, the translation headsets were stored, and the chairs were brought back upstairs. I was giving dairryiere a ride home and I kept feeling my pockets trying to find them. "Dairryiere," I said, "I think I locked my keys in the car or left them in the trunk." I started moving faster, not that it would help anything at this point.
Neither was true. I left my car idling at 13th and Folsom for over three hours. With the doors unlocked. I really can't believe it was still there.
I was almost out of gas though. I limped it to the station and put 14.95 gallons in my Toyota. I guess I know it's a 16 gallon tank now.
Why am I posting this on my LJ? because the only reason I'm beating Dairryiere to it is that she is driving to the East Bay right now. I figure if people are going to mock, they should do it in my journal. Help yourself.

I know, right? I won't leave my car unlocked for five minutes if I'm just running in! |
