Today was a day that my idiocy caused myself and my wife to need to take a break. I'll start with myself.
On top of the fact that learning a new language (this is now the fourth I've attempted) will kick my but 6 days a week this quarter (we actually have homework assigned separately for six days every week), I had to finish my September class work. That meant I needed to write a 15 page paper today, which I did. I needed a break after that project.
I also caused my wife to take a break from work. Traffic was bad this morning. I got into the parking lot at Bethel when I was already supposed to be in class. That bothers me so I put myself in rush mode. Put the car in park, grabbed my bag and water bottle from the passenger seat, and in one quick motion, took of my seat belt, opened the door and got out. While getting out I locked the doors and closed the door behind me. Immediately I remembered that I hadn't removed my keys from the ignition, or shut off the car. I locked my keys in the car, in the parking lot at the Seminary, at 8:00 in the morning. Class is four hours and I can't exactly make phone calls. During the first break I finally got a hold of my wife who got to take a break from work to come save me.
It was good to see her during the day. I hope she enjoyed her break.
I'm such an idiot.
Well, locking keys in the car isn't unusual. Most of us have done that. Leaving the ignition running, well that's a little different! Having someone to come rescue you, that's "priceless". Seems like a sermon or topic could use this as a metaphor for life, hurrying up, etc. Glad it worked out OK.
