Did I miss something?Haven’t spoken to you for days and suddenly you spring on me a call. You tell me you’re heading out for Dead Fish Day, that all these people will be there, that you’re going to have a beer after working hard all week and then you quickly close it off by stating that you were “just checkin’ in.”
Oh.
Was that an invite or merely an informative chat? Were you indirectly hoping I’d join you by dangling a fish fry in front of me or was it only a call to say hi and “looky here what I’m doing tonight”? I’m confused.
Did the sagacity of the moment just miss me or what?
Did I just not sound enthused enough? If that’s the case, I’m sorry – it was a long stupid day filled with horribly annoying stupid people who insisted upon imparting superfluous stupid things. I haven’t slept well for two nights running and I have to get up super stupid early for work tomorrow. So if I didn’t catch your drift, if I missed the boat you were getting on, if I somehow let the plane pass by unnoticed – I’m sorry. I really am. I suppose I’m just out of it.
But if you weren’t inviting me out in the first place, well, than I’m sorry for assuming as much (albeit a wee bit too late).
I’m just tired.
And cranky.
So I missed your meaning.
And I missed out on Dead Fish.
Stupid day.
