I've been a terrible blogger in November. This blog is a little birthday gift to my Aunt Debbie. I hope she gets a good laugh out of it. I sure did. Maybe you have heard of damnyourautocorrect.com. Seriously, this site got me through the beginning of 2012. No lie. I was on it several times a day for a quick laugh between the dates of Jan 1st and March 30th last year.
If you aren't familiar with autocorrect, it's something an iPhone does if it thinks you have misspelled a word. It's often right, its often horribly wrong. Also, my phone pulls from our contact list. Which is great because I don't use capitalization (or punctuation for that matter) when I'm texting and yet my phone always knows to capitalize the names of people in our contacts list.
The other day I was on a conference call at work. I just needed to listen. And of course at the end of the hour long conference call I realize that although I put my phone on speaker so I could listen, I did not put it on mute. Awesome. Totally had a moment of panic while reviewing the hour in my head to try remember if I talked to anyone or if I was noisy in any way. Luckily, I had a friend to text to ask if she heard any noise on the call and I was in the clear.
COULD. NOT. PULL. MYSELF. TOGETHER. Luckily my office door was still closed from the conference call because I was in hysterics. And I really needed to get going because I had to pick up Simon from daycare but I could not stop laughing/crying. I eventually just left. And laughed the entire 4 block walk to my car. People were staring. I was embarrassed for awhile and considered holding my phone up to my head so it looked like I was at least laughing at someone on the phone. Then remembered that it always brightens my day when I see someone truly laughing by themselves and figured I should rock it and brighten someones day.
I realize it may not seem that funny to a lot of people, but I think the Albergs will appreciate it. And I may feel compelled to scream in terror every time I see my Uncle Bert at Christmas. Expect "Bert Attack" to become regular terminology on this blog.
