At least I have ants…

Yesterday was one of those days. There was no looking on the bright side.  Nothing went as planned. No one offered any help. It was just me against the world. (Ok, I may be exaggerating a little, but that’s how I felt anyway).  I was walking into a client’s office building, trying to juggle a glass container of pasta salad that I had made for a lunch meeting, a full and very hot Grande brewed coffee with 4 Splendas, and my oversized laptop bag, and somehow open the secure locked doors with my key fob.  There were people all around me, but no one offered to open the door. I know that’s against client policy, since access to the building requires government clearance, but really, do I look that threatening while carrying 2 pounds of pasta salad in my little black dress? I don’t think so. Anyway, it was an impossible task.  I knew I should have just made two trips to the car. A burn wound and ruined pair of hose later, I finally made it in the building (with help from no one). Much like my dream last night. All I was trying to do was build a shed in my parent’s backyard.  I had all of the equipment in my truck, but I couldn’t lift it by myself. I needed help, and no one was around to help me.  No one PERSON that is.  Instead, I had an army of ants that were helping me erect this shed, and they could lift anything. It’s amazing what those little suckers can accomplish!  Thankfully, with their help, everything went as planned. No thanks to humans though . Next time, I’ll know who to ask help me in the door.
