Addlebrained

Not only did I manage to set off the alarm this morning as I entered the office, but in the process of trying to shut the bloody thing off, I managed to lock myself out of the office. All I can say is thank the gods for people who are early, who have cell phones so one may call the alarm company to tell them that truly it’s only a false alarm; “No, we really don’t need the police, honestly sir. No. This is not a robbery. Would I bother to call you if it was? Erm. Yes sir. Yes, I’m sure I belong here. Yes, that’s right, I’m the one you spoke to last week, when this happened, umm…” and who have keys to let you back into the office where all your worldly possession of note, your keys and identification are sitting, happily, on the desk where you left as you made a mad dash for the door. Mostly, thanks to those people, who after having witnessed you complete and utter stupidity, do not rub in the fact that you are quite addlebrained.
