Knuckle head.

I called in to the academy today. Did I have a good reason not to go? Of course not. But let's just leave it at that.. =/

As I was half awake - half asleep early this morning, I apathetically picked up my cell phone and dialed the phone number to the Director of the academy.

Director: White.
Me: Good morning, sir. This is Cadet Pak, P. from BPOC (this stands for basic police officer certification) class #248 calling to inform you I will be absent today. My brother, Cadet Pak, E. will be absent as well.
Director: Okay, Pak, P and Pak, E. I'll mark you both down.
Me: Thank you, have a good day, sir.
Director: *Click*

As soon as I hung up the phone, I called for my brother (Pak, E). I knocked on his door and there was no answer. The door was locked. I figured he was asleep since he just got off his grave yard shift.

I remembered speaking with Eric earlier, while he was brushing his teeth but it was briefly. I told him that I was going to call in to the academy today and he replied, 'Okay, that's cool'.

I don't know why, but my brain translated his message, 'okay, that's cool' as 'okay, I'm not going in, too so call in for me as well'

I took a nap for about an hour then I received a call from my brother. I pick up the phone as I was thinking to myself, 'Why would my brother call me on the cell phone when I'm in the bedroom right next to his'.

Me: Um, what's up?
Eric: Hey, did you call in to the academy for me?
Me: Uh, yeah.. Where are you?
Eric: *laughs* I'm here at the academy.
Me: Whaaat? I thought you were in your room this whole time!
Eric: No, I've been here.. Mr. White took roll call and he asked, "Is there anyone present, who's name I didn't call?" So I stood up and told him I was present. Then he goes, "No shit. The other knuckle head who called in mentioned your name as well." Practically the whole class started laughing.
Me: *laughing* Wow, that's funny.

Sometimes I wonder where my mind is and if it's going to drift off into space for good and never find its way back, lol.
