I knew I had to have that paper so I ran frantically down the street behind the truck waving my arms and screaming.  Unfortunately the guys on the back of the truck just waved back to me.

And then what embarrassed me even more was when I realized that this paper is stained and I have to reprint it.  REPRINT IT?  Are you kidding me?  This paper is saved on my computer.  All I had to do was reprint it.  But no, I chase a garbage truck down the street in my jammies.  Now, how can I convince the neighborhood I am not crazy?  :-\
