"Drama of the Self-Imposed Kind" OR "Riding to School on the Short Bus*"
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
So, I'm retarded. And if not retarded, then at least horrible with details and scheduling. Or if not consistently horrible with such things, then at least bad in this situation. Here's what I've done:
1. Upon reviewing my India itinerary and identifying when I'd be in which cities, I somehow managed to mistake my last day in Delhi (the first go around anyway) for Wednesday, 24th of October.
2. Upon checking into my hotel two weeks ago, I confirmed my checkout date with the front desk as Wednesday, 24th of October.
3. Upon reviewing my ticket to Mumbai and discussing with Vikrant, I noticed that I'll actually be in the Delhi area till Thursday evening, 25th of October.
NET RESULT
A. I'll be checking out of my hotel by 10:30pm India time on 24th of October.
B. I'll be checking into the new room they finagled for me at 2:30am India time on 25th of October.
C. These two times are not the same.
Yes, the staff at the hotel pulled a miracle out and made a room appear out of thin air. But because of my attention to detail, or lack thereof, my huge bags and I will be spending four hours of the night in the pub. Waiting for my new room.
Yes, I'm a dumbass. C'est la vie.
*Regarding the references to the short bus and mental disabilities in general, I speak not to disparage my retarded brethren, but rather to raise awareness that we're out there, everywhere. We may or may not look the part, but we have infiltrated your world. Don't make fun, or be prepared to face the consequences. Pleh.
