I can be so Obtuse...

Camp was A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

L-I-F-E C-H-A-N-G-E-I-N-G.

Which is good, nice, good for me and everyone else.

But...

I've always said "The worst part of vacation is coming home."

I proved it today.

Note: I make calls so often at the library that it's very automatic. I can follow my train of thought without paying attention to what I'm saying.

Italics are my thoughts.

Let's see a movie for Saamia, she's a nice lady, Indian I think.

*calls number*

*gets answering machine*

"Hello, this is the Public Library..."

I should tell Molly (fellow christian librarian) about camp.

"I'm just calling to let you know you have have a movie in, we'll keep it at the library for 2 days In-"

*here my attention is suddenly wholly on my what I was about to say*

Oh my word, I was about to say In Jesus Name Amen, what on earth??? Hurry and finish*

"Well, have a nice day, Amen."

Amen?? Amen? What on earth why did I-

*realizes I'm still being recorded*

"Umm.. I didn't mean that I meant to say good-bye. I'm sorry."

I am such an idiot

" I guess I'm not very good at this whole answering machine thing although I do it enough..."

Lydia, it's still recording you...

" Well Good-bye!"

*Slams phone down*

*tells other librarian about embarrassing call*

Librarian: *laughs so hard she's cries*

Other Librarian: *laughs even harder* "You said amen?Isn't she Hindu?"

Hindu? *feels like fainting*

*calls same number again*

"Hi, this is the Library again. I'm just calling because I am aware I just left a rather odd message on your machine so I thought I'd explain myself."

Or try to...

"You see I just got back from camp, church camp, so I guess I wasn't quite in my librarian mode yet...so I don't know why I said that... so I'm just calling to apologize... I just hope you were able to laugh at it..."

And not get mad and please not get mad...

" So have a nice day! Good-bye!"

I have a feeling I just made a embarrassing situation worse. Me and my big mouth.
