I've realized that somewhere in the past 10 yrs I've gone from being a pretty smart person to being just crazy. I graduated from high school 7th in my class (t was a small class, but that's a pretty nice position). Yet, the one thing I've learned over time is that book smarts is no reflection of common sense. I think I'm a pretty level person and have a fair amount of common sense, but every once in a while I slip up and do something so stupid, that I look at myself and wonder what the hell happened to me. Today is one of those days....
This morning, I got up to go to work and came up with a brilliant idea. Since I've been late for the past few days because I had to wait for my car to thaw out, I decided to take a cup of water out to the car to pour on the windshield. That should speed things up...
Not so...or not so when you pour cold water on your already cold windshield. In a matter of about 5 seconds I had a solid sheet of ice that formed on my windshield. Yes, I know--I'm a-freaking-genius. And what makes it worse, the window wasn't even THAT frozen to start off with. It had a few scattered ice crystals, but by the time I put my mind to work this morning, it was a solid sheet. I finally got about three inches thawed out at the bottom and thought, when I take off it will probably just melt away. Afterall, I was running on time and didn't want to be late.
Again, not so...mistake #2. It re-froze the couple of clear inches and I had to pull off the road---still in my neighborhood--and let it thaw again while sitting in the parking lot of the community center..looking like a total idiot.
I must say, I should get an award.
