A little perspective

My girlfriend M: "I'm sooo sorry, I can't make it to your defense on Thursday! I had to call and tell you right away."

Me: "That's okay. Why, what's up on Thursday?"

M: "My doctor scheduled my C-section for the morning. At 10:00! It's the exact same time as your presentation! I'm really sorry. This sucks because I also can't go to my friend's birthday party on Saturday. I tried to rebook for Monday, but my husband said Thursday is better considering Pat leaves start on Sundays."


So while I encroach on death Thursday morning, M will be giving birth.

I love it!


Me: "That is the best excuse I've ever heard!"
