Sorry I didn't blog the last couple days, but I came down with a bad case of Real Life.
I held back on scheduling a Ten-Word Tuesday because I wanted to tie it into the Higgs Boson announcement. (Which was nothing more than a big fat Maybe.) Then at work, since someone else goofed, I got handed a Mission: Impossible task to be completed by Friday. I was already busier than normal with training and validation tasks; this just felt over-the-top. However, I have to admit that if my life was a novel, this would have been a good twist to put on a character in an already tough situation.
I did make some progress yesterday in rescheduling other projects, and I also found out that some other people in my department will take over Mission: Impossible if I don't get it done by Friday. The company president knows I'm scheduled for vacation the next two weeks, so it's not like I have to give it up. So that's good.
Anyway, for discussion purposes, have you ever felt like a character in a story? What were the circumstances? What would you have said to your author?
Although tomorrow is Friday, I'm participating in the Deja Vu blogfest, so I won't be running Science of the Week. Tune in tomorrow to see which blog post I choose to rerun!

When not-so-cool things pop up in my life, I certainly feel like a character in a story. A tragedy, even. But thankfully, real life don't always have abrupt endings. :)
When I get too busy and overwhelmed I feel like a character in a Kafka novel.
