(Not the phone thing. That happened in my area in high school and in a temporary home area code long before I got there.) I am sometimes amused and sometimes horrified at how much time I spend worrying about things that never, ever have any bearing on how things really happen. It's like there are 20 scenarios and i worry, intensely, about 7. But surprise, surprise, it's always #19 that happens and I have wasted my time and energy. Up side? I always pick the biggest ones to worry about, so when #19 hits I'm totally relieved. Except for the wasted time and energy. And the shame of being wrong. ;-) I so relate to this post.
