Automatic Pilot

After all the foofaraw last week...

Okay, I can't resist. The Dictionary.com people must have checked with Ken and Donovan before deciding what word to use as the word of the day last Wednesday! It means, "Excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration."

You would think I would remember to answer the phone correctly. I mean, it felt like we hobnobbed with every reporter and camera person in Regina! It was awesome! (Ken and Donovan have a slightly different perspective.)

But I see only two of the three office phones are labelled with the new name. And so, by mistake, I answered, "Good morning, Regina Rescue Mission, Michelle speaking."

Now granted, it was early. And I hadn't yet had my coffee. However, I'm the one that was bragging last week how it's not a problem, and it just rolls off the tip of my tongue. Apparently it rolls off the tip of my caffeinated tongue.

So, midway through this conversation, I said, "I think I answered the phone wrong. We're a brand new mission now!" She chuckled and agreed.

Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission.

Got a nice ring to it, don't you think?
