Will I ever outgrow this?


I am an idiot. No really, I am. I worked way out west today and the Seiling girls asked if I'd drop a phone off this evening on my way back through. Sure, no prob Bob. So I took my little security device and swiped it. The light changed from red to green. I entered the security code and opened the door, placed the phone inside on the counter and closed the door. I had picked up some vitamins for Mother and noticed that she was at the Senior Citizens next door for game night. I pulled over there and parked and the security alarm was BLARING!! Geeeeze. So I ran the vitamins inside to Mother and explained that I had to GO! NOW! She understood completely, hugged me and played her next domino. So I'm driving away, dialing the local manager. Why was I driving away? I can't figure that out at all. He told me how to reset the alarm and I told him that I would turn around and go back to do it. He said he was already almost there and would take care of it. SHEESH! I feel like a complete idiot. Why didn't I just pull across the street and call him? Well, I likely wouldn't have been able to hear him with that alarm shrieking anyway. I'll call tomorrow and tell him I'm sorry that he had to come out and fix my mistake. There's just something about an alarm going off, that makes me want to run away, I guess. I handled this all wrong. I hope that someday I'll outgrow my awkwardness. sigh...
