Read…. Carefully

So I was at work the on Saturday, making lattes and offering people blueberry muffins,

when a young lady walked in and said, “Are you Ryan?”

I said, “Uh… Yeah?”

“Do you have a blog on the Tomball College website?”

“Uh… Yeah?”

Her eyes narrowed as she said, “I’m upset with you!”

“Really? Why?”

“Because you said you don’t like babies or pregnant women!!!”

I was relieved, for a second I thought she was going to roll up her pant leg and have me diagnose a boil.

“Actually, I wrote that I was glad I didn’t have to study obstetrics anymore, because they are not my favorite subjects. The funny pictures were just to emphasize my point. “

The moral of this story is to read carefully, be it instructions, the newspaper, a blog, or your horoscope. You may end up wasting a lot of time and energy for nothing.

Rodeo

So the Rodeo starts tonight.

I will be there. I’m not a fan of livestock or country music, but I sure do love a good carnival.

Carnivals are usually in former grocery store parking lots. The carnies and the questionable construction standards are terrifying, buy you avoid all this at the rodeo carnival. It’s clean(ish), the carnies have all their teeth, and you know if you die, your family can sue a company with deep pockets.

I usually don’t go out on school nights, but free tickets to the rodeo with awesome friends is too good to pass up.
