Yesterday morning I must have been tired (case of the Monday's, perhaps), considering what I did. Only it wasn't Monday, it was Tuesday. And I was just being a huge space cadet, to which there is no limit of time or space -- shush Steve. Hold your tongue.
So I was happily walking to work, music BLARING, as I'm now in the habit of listening to my MP3 player for the duration. Good goddess I've become one of thooooose people that walks to work with a satchel on one arm, sunglasses, and discreet little headphones tucked under my hair. Discreet except for the cords hanging out. I feel so... what's the word I'm looking for? City? (And no, you will NEVER, EVER see me walking to work in sneakers - city girls don't *do* sneakers, mkay? That's reserved for uptight, over the hill suburbanites that drive in to the city and walk 2 blocks to work.)
So I'm walking to work and I get one block from my building (music still blaring). I just happen to be listening to a very live, very amazing version of "Sugar" by Tori Amos. By this point I'm in the skyways and am approaching a set of doors I have walked through at least twice a day for the past 2 years. Sometimes more.
He brings me sugar... la la la... As far as I can tell, I've been gone for miles now Hey, why isn't this door opening?
I looked up, got distracted by shiny lyrics, realized the door still hadn't opened just bring me sugar.... FUCK! Um, yeah. At this point I'm still standing there now realizing I actually have to exert manual force on the door to make it open. Oops. Wouldn't have been so embarrassing if 2 people weren't walking straight towards me and saw the whole thing go down. Cuz of course the doors were made of glass. And then they nearly fell on the floor laughing. Why wouldn't they? That's what I'm sayin'.
They also pointed.
Maybe I should start doing the caffeine thing. Or the coffee thing to get the caffeine thing. Alternatively, if they make a salve for space cadetedness I might need to pick it up.

Expecting automatic slidey doors?
Have you been watching too much Star Trek recently?
