Jonesing

I forgot my fucking iPod today.

Goddamnit, I feel naked without it. Like how am I supposed to get through my day without my freakin' iPod?!?

To make it worse, I realized I didn't have it about half-way to work. So I decided to turn around and just be late to work (yeah, I'm a junkie). But I was at Sharon center by then and I figured the easiest way would be to take a side street and turn around. Only the street just went back and I turn here and there and the next thing I know I'm freakin' lost.

So instead of doing a 180, I keep going thinking it will come out somewhere I know. After all, I have a good sense of direction most of the time. I feel like I'm still headed in the general homeward direction.

Only the road goes in a way that's starting to feel really foreign and I start getting worried I really don't know where I am. I start thinking that if something remotely familiar doesn't show up soon, I may have to actually take a half vacation day.

But I end up on Bay road, a nice long road that will either dump me in Easton, near home or back in Sharon. Only, because I'm on a part of the road I've never seen, I don't know which way to go. I choose randomly and damnit all if I don't end up back in Sharon (after about 20 minutes of winding scenic roadway). At this point, it's about 9:10 and to go home from here wouldn't put me back at work until almost 10:00, so I force myself to just suffer and get to work. So not only did I arrive late anyway, I still don't have my music/podcasts to get me through the day.

I should put together some emergency-music choices and leave it here at work in case this happens again. Because the day is going to drag without some way to alleviate the boredom.

Man, I already need a fix.
