So today for Halloween I got to travel to North East, MD for work. The city is called North East because its the furthest north eastern point of MD, supposedly.
As The day progressed I slowly realized the four subconscious self inflicted Halloween tricks were inflicted upon myself!
Trick 01:
About two hours into my drive I was glancing at the back of my car through my rear view mirror at two zip ties that I had used on a latch in the ceiling of my car to hang my shirts as I traveled. I thought to myself that I need to cut them out since now I had purchased a expandable clothes hanging bar to hang my clothes on. Then my eyes went to the hang bar and that's when i realized that the dress shirts that should have been hanging on the bar were still hanging on a bar outside of my closet back home. So instead of adding 4 extra hours to my travel day (2 back home and then turn around time) I stopped at a local Walmart and purchased a few to get me through. That in itself was fun because the shelf was clearly over shopped and I had to hunt to find shirts in both the proper size and sleeve length.
Trick 02:
When I got to the hotel I unpacked the few bags I brought with me. I love how it has taken me all year to learn to micro pack LOL. I was in the mood for a cup of coffee and started searching my bags and realized that I had left my travel mug and my freshly purchased supply of Starbucks VIA on the kitchen counter. The mugs have a bottom that unscrews so you can store VIA packets in the wall of the mug. I remembered a extra mug in my car so ran to get it but alas it was empty.
Trick 03:
My big plan for today was to relax in bed and watch Van Helsing on my iPad and that would be my Halloween excitement for the day. I went and grabbed my iPad and switched to the videos app and for hat ever reason the movie did not sync to my device even though I remember selecting it. There's a little bit of back irony to it as I had to tear through the boxes of DVDs I had already encoded to my digital media library to find it as I had stowed it away by accident without encoding it. So I found the DVD and spent last night encoding it to the library, adding it to my iTunes library, and adding the artwork and description to it.
Trick 04:
I decided to quickly write a blog on this and thought id use the bloggpress app on my ipad to do it. I grabbed my iPad and that's when I realized that the keyboard dock that I had purchased, for times just like this, was siting at home just feet away from the VIA and mug I left in the kitchen!
So all in all Id say my subconscious had a good day tricking me!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
