Moments D202: Late!

Today’s moment is a silly one, but it made me smile none-the-less.

I worked later than expected and was running late for my night class. My ETA was 10 minutes into class. Sadly, by the time I got to the parking garage at my school the lot was full. Now, I was really going to be late.

As I drove around looking for another parking spot I contemplated skipping class. I was tired, I’ve been working too hard and I was frustrated with being late.

And then, I found a new parking garage, closer to the building my class is in. It was only $1 more for the evening. That was a mini-score in itself.

And I rushed my way to class, hoping to be only 10 minutes late. I quickly opened the door to my classroom and realized - the prof was missing. The class was half empty. What a surprise indeed.

I wasn’t late after all. And then it dawned on me. There had been an email last week from our prof about him being late this week. I had completely forgotten. What a silly surprise and a moment for me to breathe and de-stress from the hectic day I had had.

My smile: I was late, but I wasn’t late! :)

Moments of silly surprises.
