Today was the rare day that Ilene, Liz, and I were not only all on campus together, but had lunch together at the cafe. We had meant to meet up at noon but ended up eating a little early because I got hungry and bored, and well, Ilene is always up for eating early. So there we were, Liz and Ilene chatting as I tried to tackle The Largest Turkey Burger In the World, when who should stroll by but Kurt.
I never bump into Kurt. He's always running of somewhere. That's what comes of being in a dual program. But today, he didn't run off. Instead, he stopped and chatted with us and we talked about his seminar and comps and all this stuff and how his meeting with Judy got canceled, until finally:
Moi: If you're all done, then what're you doing here?
Kurt: To meet with you. We're having lunch and talking about Who.
Moi: I thought that was next week.
Kurt: No, that's today.
Moi: At noon, right? Oh, it's noon now. Oh look, I'm here, eating lunch. This is perfect.
Sometimes, I forget meetings I'm supposed to have but still manage to show up at the exact right time and place. And because I met with Kurt, I didn't have time to look up where my next meeting was, which was just as well, because Kurt knows how to navigate the hospital and with his fancy badge, cleared me through lots of doorways. So that I only got lost 3 times going to my next meeting, and once on the way back. Best coincidence ever.
