Beware the Outdoors!

Since the weather is so nice, I’ve been taking some of my phone calls outside lately, on my cell phone. Especially the personal ones, but even a short conference call here or there.

Unfortunately, I was doing so this afternoon, and I managed to sit in something—which may or may not be tar—that is now stuck to my pants. I tried to sit carefully on my chair, half on and half off, so that the substance wouldn’t come off on it, but I got it on there anyway, so now my chair has three and a half black smudges on it.



Maybe four.

If I had been thinking, I would have sat on a napkin or paper towel or something, so that the chair would stay clean, but I didn’t think of it until after I’d put the three and a half smudges on it.
