View From the Bushes

Well, I have about 20 minutes before my lunch is over, so I thought I'd try and get a quick VFB out the door. I read this very amusing story today that I thought I would share. Some guy with more money than time hired a couple of acquaintances of his to pack up his apartment into a moving van and then unpack it at his new house. So he hands them the key to his apartment and off they go. Later that day the two met their friend and return his key. "The only thing we didn't get was your cat," they report. The guy doesn't have a cat (cue Twilight Zone theme).

Okay it wasn't that weird, as it turns out the key not only opened the correct apartment it also opened the neighbor's. As such it was the neighbor's furnishings which were moved to the new house. Fortunately the neighbor was single and works out of town, as such they were able to put everything back, though one imagines it's unlikely that they'll get everything back exactly the way it was -- that's when the Twilight Zone theme kicks in, when you return from a long trip and everything is still in you apartment, but slightly out of place. In any case, you can read the whole story.

Other than that, I'm hoping for a slow weekend. Ideally, I should have enough time to post another Xenogenic NPC, but the way things have been going, I wouldn't count on it, however maybe it's time for me to pleasantly surprise people by exceeding their expectations. I do have one of the colds that refuses to die, so at a minimum I'm going to try to sleep in or take a nap, though with four kids it could end up that I do neither.
