Stressed? Me? NAH!
Tired? Moi? NO WAY!
A block from work tonight on my way home I finally became aware of a red warning light on the dashboard, one that I don’t recall ever seeing. What is that?
And then the dinging noise started. What am I doing wrong? What’s that warning icon?
The airbags aren’t function? Well, good, I haven’t hit anything. Wait, that doesn’t make any sense, I’ve never hit anything, why is the alarm going off now?
Do I have something heavy on the passenger’s seat that is making the car think that I have someone sitting there and whoever it is needs a seat belt for safety? But there’s nothing on the passenger seat!
Wait…
Okay, you need to understand that I’m one of those guys who ***ALWAYS*** puts on his seat belt. I literally will not move the cars around in the driveway without putting on the seat belt. I put on the seat belt in New York City taxis. I’ve lost friends who would be alive if they had been wearing seat belts. I put the seat belt on before I put the key in the ignition.
EVERY.
DAMN.
TIME.
Except tonight.
Damn, that’s weird.
Stress does funny things to us. Hope your worries over the fires are now easing off. I know you’ve stood down from instant evacuation, but worries still press the mind.
