ready or not...
So my carpool buddy, dance teacher, task master, Tango Crush (TC) has been AWOL this week. Called him Tuesday to ask about a lesson and no call back. Then I called and his voice mailbox is full. Then I called and it went straight to voice mail - which is still full.
So I'm thinking he broke his phone or skipped town. And decided to swing by his house unannounced after work. I really struggled with this. I *never* drop by anyone's house (except my dad's - got to think about that) without calling first. I was fully prepared for him to go ballistic that I just showed up. Some of my friends would consider this a serious invasion of their privacy.
He just smiled and asked me "what's up?" The dog did his usual happy dance and TC walked back in the living room. He was playing cards online with real people so he jumped back to that. I asked him what dances he was up for this weekend and we settled that. I asked about the phone and he'd lost it. Didn't seem at all concerned about that.
Lesson 1: it's ok to show up.
Lesson 2: if you can't reach him, you might have to show up
And I'll be paying off my labor commitment (trading time for lessons) this Saturday: helping him look for the phone.
(I'd be a basket case after a week with no phone...)
