We all have those silly regrets that stick in our mind, the ‘what-ifs’ so to speak. There is one that has stuck in my mind for quite a while, and its something that I have played out in exceptional detail in my mind for the years between then and now. I’m going to try to keep it brief, but as my job is in legal it may not be as concise as I’d like.
I was at a work conference in the summer, and coming in to the hotel in an Uber (or Towncar I guess back in those days). My flight landed just after 7pm so when I arrived at the hotel parking, it wasn’t quite fully dark yet there were cars lined up to get to the front door spreading almost 9 deep (Yes, I am crazy with details like this. I tend to count things almost obsessively).
I wasn’t going to wait, so I grabbed my bright blue rolling suitcase, and paid the driver.
