Stupid ADD

I messed up this afternoon. No idea if Jodi is ever going to stop being mad about it. But now that I've had some Adderall, I look back in horror and wonder if there's any way to protect her (and her career) from these moments when I revert to my 8-year-old self.

You didn't try to Cruciatus her, did you? Because that really would be unforgivable. ;)

Did you rip her top off in public.
I bet you did...

Oops, I hope the ride soothes things over. You can tell Jodi that I have used the silly spouse defense before, with success.

What happened?

She was researching the local philosophy department; I thought she wasn't even yet sure whether or not to stop in and say hi. So I phoned the office of her faculty mentor (without explaining anything), and since her mentor answered, I said "Hold on, please" and handed the phone to Jodi, saying "It's her." Jodi went red and said "I'm sorry" and hung up.

I have since realized that I shouldn't have called any of Jodi's colleagues, etc., without Jodi realizing that I intended to do so, and especially not this most important contact.

If I'd thought about Jodi's opinion of this plan for even an instant, I would have asked her first. But I figured I could just get her connected with her mentor, get the information (to wit: was her handwriting ACTUALLY intended to send us to "UMD" or was that "U Mo" (Missouri?), "UMQ" (Montreal, Quebec)? or what?, and get Jodi into a cheerful mood for a campus visit.

Ah. The best of intentions...

ooops!

As a person who doesn't like to talk on the phone, except to katty or leslie or sometimes toad, i can sympathize, especially when not prepared to talk to the person.

Hopefully jodi's calmed down now and understands you were trying to help. PS, hey, if i ever do get published, don't call my publisher for me and hand the phone to me. *grin*
