Cirque du Crazy
I had a similar experience recently (was meeting a new friend for coffee and totally got the time wrong, so they were waiting a half-hour for me), and perhaps more horrifying than keeping the person waiting was how violently I berated myself on the ride over. I’m sure I looked crazy, and I definitely felt like it when I calmed down and reflected on my critical self-talk. I haven’t figured out the trick to talking myself down during my lateness, but over time I’ve managed to be in the moment once I arrive so that I’m not squandering both the journey *and* the destination. From the sound of how much you enjoyed Cirque, it sounds like you have, too! Thanks for putting yourself out there. ( :— May 22, 2012 9:38 p.m.
