Cosmic Comedy…?

Hmmm, one has to wonder whether the cosmos conspires to thwart humans out of spite or a need for humor.

I have a pre-employment screening test this morning at a firm located in a nearby town. It’s the kind of test which checks to make sure you can chew gum and walk at the same time, and that you know not to run with scissors in your hands.

And I’m going to have to juggle two kids and an ice storm underway at the same time.  One child has a two-hour delay before school starts.  The other child’s school is the only one NOT closed or delayed in three counties; I’ve already been on the phone with other parents who are not taking their kids this morning to the same school.  I’ll probably do the same, but I’ll have to get him to the sitter before my test.  

I’ll have to work out transportation to the sitter at the end of the partial school day for the other one; my parents may be able to help (but they’re 30 miles away at my sister’s place, where the storm is much worse at the moment) or I may be back from my test, or the weather may improve by school’s end, whatever.  Hubby’s tied up in meetings with company president who came into town just for these meetings; can’t ask him to help.  It’ll get worked out…there’s no other option.

The results of THIS unscheduled cosmic test will never show up on my pre-employment test results. 

Wish me luck if you have any kind feelings for me…I’m going to need it.
