you are having a mistake.

so i made a meeting with a girl to talk about her helping us as a translator in july.
keep in mind, the meeting was set through texting and that day there was a fury of texting going on between me, my boss, my former language tutor, other possible translators....

so anyway, i show up to the place we said we'd meet at the time we said we'd meet. i waited for about 15 minutes (the minimum balkan grace period). so i sent a text just saying 'i'm here'.

about a minute later a girl was walking towards me and pulled out her phone. she looked at it for a while as if she was reading a text and then she put it up to her ear. at that second my phone rang. it was the girl i was supposed to meet.
so i just stood up and said, "Elena?" the walking girl stopped and looked confused. "are you Elena? I'm Emily"
she started smiling and said, "no i'm sorry you are having a mistake"
we laughed and i apologized.

so then i called the REAL girl back and she said it would be about 10 more minutes.
when she arrived she graciously mentioned that we were supposed to meet the next day.
i looked through my old texts and yep. wednesday. not tuesday.


what are the odds?



****
we were at the zoo and the kid of some teammates said, 'is that a moose-deer?' and someone answered, 'what? there's no moose-deer.' and so he said, 'oh maybe i made a moosetake'
hah.
genius.
