Two hours of sleep isn't enough
Category: Misc.

An embarrassing number of seconds passed as I stood there waiting at the grocery-store entrance. Like Cap. Kirk I had all but expected the door to slide open as it sensed my presence. Imagine my surprise when the door stood fast. Blatantly disregarding the social order, the door refused to open. I waved my arms to let it (and its sensors) know that I was serious. Wearing its best poker face, the door stared me down. It turns out the door wasn't bluffing; it was one of those old-fashion doors. You know the kind, the ones you push open.

Feeling a little sheepish, I pushed the door open and continued with the shopping. I vowed not to wait there in front of that door again. No longer would I look stupid. Well..that was my big mistake. I really should have vowed to remember that the door wasn't automatic.

Holding true to my self-promise I didn't wait for the door. I didn't wait at 8 feet. I didn't wait at 6 feet. At 4,3,2,1, SMACK! "Dammit. This door isn't automatic."

I'm off to take a nap.
