Well, there was unfortunately none of that this morning! I got up early, looked out the window and spotted a lovely open sky, and hit the shower. This therapeutic activity was interrupted by my phone ringing which I chased down with towel in hand. On my way over to the phone I started wondering if the weather turned sour in Bapsfontein? Not at all, it was Mervyn, on of the instructors, querying me with: "Fred, so, where are you? You are late!". I was under the impression that I booked at 7:30 slot this morning, so I asked him to hold on while I checked the calender on my PDA and voilla! I messed up! A 6:00 slot indeed. With a very apologetic and sheepish tone I had a quick chat with Henk, apologised again, and tried to fish for an open slot at 7:30 that simply did not exist.
Well, I suppose these things happen, and they happen for a reason, and I'll make up for it somehow (guess I am already, as I am paying for this missed session!). The good news is that I can start work early and make sure that I finish up all the loose ends before end of day tomorrow when my leave for December starts.
I would put today down as a lesson in situational awareness. Always make sure what and when things are supposed to happen, and don't get caught out in the open, wet, with only a towel to keep you company >;-)
