The place was packed and we had a group of about 20 that represented our school district. And what a fine job we did, if I don't say so myself. We wore matching shirts, as the rest of the teams did. Although our exemplified class and sportsmanship.
While I would never have taken the time to think of something so creative, I thought it was pretty funny.
I did realize, beyond the t-shirt design, that I have some things in common with this group of teachers that ran today. You see, this may be hard to believe, but I can be pretty oblivious to things at times. For example, if I go someplace and I do not drive, I pay no attention.
No attention to how I got to where I am. I remember after a few months of dating Jeff, he had driven me to his house several times. When he asked me to drive there one day, I had no idea how to get there. This inattention to detail also carries over when parking. I basically just walk along with whoever I am with and don't give an ounce of thought to where I am. Not always the best way to go about things. But, apparently I am not the only one. As part of a group of six that rode over in the same van, between the six of us, we had no idea which parking garage we even parked in. Once we figured that out, we hopped in the elevator and got off at the wrong level, looking all over for that beautiful blue mini van. Luckily, we ran into people we knew who had seen the van on the other level.
After we got onto the right level, we found the van fairly quickly, considering the group we were in. It's a wonder how we are teaching the youth of America!
It wouldn't hurt me to be more observant. Hopefully I have learned my lesson, up until now Jeff has definitely spoiled me. I miss him!
