People with Ornithophobia need love too!

Today I needed to go into a building I had just visited last week to complete pre-employment testing. As I was driving thru the parking lot, I noticed a statue of a peacock. I said to myself “Self I don’t remember that being there last week”

Then the darn thing moved!

I called my son to see if he’d come by and move the peacock away from the building’s entrance. He gave a very, very lame excuse. He’s working in the Woodlands. I really don’t understand why he didn’t pack up his crew, leave the Woodlands, drive the darned 65 miles and rescue me!!! I was being held hostage in my car by a bird for goodness sake! He told me to find someone, explain that I’d been terribly frightened by a bird when I was a preschooler, and ask them to walk me in the building. He was laughing as he said this. Hmmph!!! 23 hours of labor and all I get is a smart aleck!

I then called my disabled mom in New York who told me the same thing. She was there was laughter in her voice as well. What good is family when they don’t come to your rescue?

Finally, someone walked me past the peacock, which had moved from the entrance to a corner I had to come around. If I had turned that corner and came face to face with a peacock, the lab would have had to get their specimen by wringing out my underwear!

I can still hear my (used to be wonderful) sister/girlfriend laughing in my ear. She says the gouges I left in her arm 3 years ago when I spotted a million pigeons in the Pappadeaux’ parking lot are just beginning to heal. My other good friend explained that she couldn’t come because she rode public transportation today, and now she needed to explain to her seat mate why she was laughing hysterically!
