Since the divorce I've hit two stationary objects in my car and had near panic attacks about simple issues that are easy for a 5 year old to solve. What's up with this?
I was working out today (like I do everyday since I don't have a family life anymore) and all of sudden the lights go out in the gym. I've been zoning out to music and I'm pretty happy with the fact that all the equipment is free. It turns out the gym closed! I went to the outside door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't open!
So, like I'm in complete panic mode. The cop's will think I broke in. I'll have to call the police or fire department to let me out. Anyway, I go running around the facility feverishly calling out "hallooooo" and trying to find someone to let me out. I'm in on the ground floor when I hear something behind me. I turn around and it's a guy leaving the shower room and heading to the front door. I race after him (I'm sure he thought I was looking to mug him or something) and he just opens the front door.
I stopped for a moment and then realized that the door said "pull", but the sign was reversed (so I was reading the sticker that was on the other side). Basically, being the genius that I am, I'd been trying to open the door the wrong way (I should have "pushed" instead of "pulled"). It's just like the Gary Larson cartoon on the "School for the Gifted".
Funny huh? Not to me. That momemt was probably the closest I've come to wanting to hurt myself since this whole thing started. I got over it, but I'm just starting to realize how much this is killing my esteem and my confidence.
