Day by Day By Betty Bazar
I have this really bad habit of
trying to do too much and, thus, creating
a situation in which I have to rush and
sometimes run on auto-pilot. The prac-
tice of rushing through my life and doing
things on automatic has created some
problem situations for me in the past. I
was reminded of some just the other day
when one of my colleagues stopped to
button a missed button on the neck of my
blouse.
I laughed and told her of the time when I was in such a
rush and working on automatic pilot that I put my sweater on
backwards and went to work that way. That might not have been
so bad except that my sweater had a pocket on it, and I never
noticed it was in the wrong place until one of my students chased
me down the hall to tell me. Thank goodness it was before school
officially started for the day.
Then, there was the time when I put my slacks on
backwards. You'd thing you'd notice that! However, this was
during the day of the double knit slacks and you didn't notice the
difference in fit so much. It was once again when I got to school
that I realized what I had done.
A student asked me, "Mrs. Bazar, why do you have
seams running up the back of your slacks?"
"Oh," I replied with a straight face, "that's just the way
they are made." I smiled at her sweetly and therl hightailed it as
fast as I could to the nearest restroom to change.
A third instance happened one morning as I was rushing
to get to work, and my hair just would not do what it Was
supposed to. I have a little rooster-tail cowlick at the crown of
my head, and it was standing up for all it was worth. So, since
time was running short, I put a little comb in it and plastered it
with spray. I then hurried on to brush my teeth, reminding
myself to take it out before I left. But, since I was running on
automatic, I completely forgot it. I was once again at work and
talking to one of my colleagues when he noticed it and asked if
that was a new style. My eyes got big and I grabbed for the back
of my head. There it was! I quickly put the comb in my pocket
and swore him to secrecy. The little comb was clear and that was
probably one reason it had not been noticed previously. God
takes care of those of us who don't have enough sense to take care
of ourselves.
I guess the worst incident of my rushing through life and
operating on cruise control involved my daughter Michelle and
a day care center. Every afternoon when she was in elementary
school, a day care center would come by and pick her and others
up and let them stay until their parents got home. I usually tried
to run errands first and then went to pick her up. This one
afternoon I'm not sure what happened, except that I did have a
lot on my mind.
Anyway, I was home after running my errands. I had put
everything away and was just sitting down when something
clicked my memory. I had not gone by to pick up Michelle! I tore
out of the house and jumped into the car and rushed down to the
day care center. Sure enough, there she sat in the backyard, in a
swing, by herself, with her little head hanging down. I felt like
dirt. For years, I never told her of my absent-minded mistake.
Finally, when she was older, I told her. I'm not sure she's ever
totally forgiven me for that. You'd think that would be a life
lesson. Apparently, however, since I still very often work on
cruise control, I haven't learned much from my mistakes.
