And I care, why?
Apparently the company I work for is conducting a conference on the first floor of the hotel in which I am staying. It is entirely within the realm of possibility that I will run into someone I know. Or that someone I know will spot me without me knowing.
I should have thought of this possibility. I am mildly surprised I did not.
For some reason this stresses me out. It harshes my mellow. Part of it is that I am on vacation and am trying hard to not think about work (it's actually not been that hard). But the other part is that I'm worried about what they will think if they see me. I live not 5 minutes away. What logical reason do I have for checking into a hotel? Marital problems? An illicit affair? I can imagine the rumours.
Of course, I freely recognize the silliness of this worry, and the unliklihood of it actually coming to pass. And in the end, why should I care?
Ok. Put that one behind me. Off for a walk on the trail.
