It's been a tiring week. My body is trying to fight off this crazy cold. When I'm tired, things just don't go smoothly. I ran over my trash can in the driveway. I spill soup all over me my purse, laptop bag, and chair. I forget simple things.
Last week I went downtown to pick up some last minute documents for my clinical rotation in FL. I parked in front of the Baldwin building. The revolving door was turning and turning, so I proceeded to walk through it. While I was in the middle, my hand went up and I touched the revolving door. The revolving door stopped. So I stepped back in the middle and tried to not the sides because most revolving doors continue once you stop touching the side. Nothing happenned. Hmmm.... I looked behind me and notice no one was behind me and nothing was moving. I looked in front of me and nothing was happenning. I was smack in the middle of the revolving door. Stuck. Now what do I do? There was 2 Mayo helper person sitting on the podium outside the building. They looked at me and muttered "What's wrong with her?" Now in my head I was thinking "why are they saying that?" The guy looks at me and said "Push!"
A light bulb came on. I pushed and the revolving door moved. Embarrassing! This was not the automated door that were in so many other Mayo buildings. When I saw that the revolving door was spinning, I automatically assumed it was an automated revolving door. WRONG! I was so tired that I did not notice the door slowing down as I entered the revolving door. I didn't notice a person going through there before I did.
I learned 2 things..
1. First appearances are deceiving
2. When I'm tired, i forget things
3. The guy didn't need to tell me to push the door. I would have figured it out. Eventually.
Yikes! When I decide to shut my brain down, it shuts down.
