Careful How You Dress for the Zoo

10/20/2023

 
Picture
Never make the mistake of wearing an orange shirt to Home Depot.
Don’t-it’s like dressing up as an elephant and going to the zoo.

I did it once.
I was on the way home from playing golf. Had on my lucky orange golf shirt.
It didn’t matter that I had on shorts, sunglasses, and a golf visor.
I was wearing orange.
This guy gets in my face. “Do you work here?” he demands.
And did not wait for an answer—I was wearing orange-
I was a target of opportunity.
“Where are the pipe stem extenders?”

The right way to answer? Being the thoughtful, tolerant, helpful guy I am,
and since we were standing in the front of aisle two,
“Aisle 18—all the way in the back, by the loading dock” I said.
The guy mutters, “What’s wrong with this place? I can never find anybody to help me around here”
“You still haven’t”
“What?”
“Aisle 18, way in the back.”
​
What does that have to do with anything?
Because that guy is Unaware.
And I’m an expert at judging who’s Aware and who’s Unaware.
Aware of what? I wrote the book on it. The Circle of Awareness.
And you’re gonna have to read the book to find out.
Coming Soon.
