When I get ready in the morning, I don\u2019t always connect the dots. I have to get myself cleaned up, get dressed, grab my lunch and grab my coffee before I hit the road.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I need to talk to my wife a little bit. All of this takes place at or before 6 a.m. so I can never guarantee complete success.<\/p>\n

I still leave my coffee sitting in the kitchen once in a while. Or I completely forget to fill up my travel mug. Those problems sometimes require a detour to grab coffee from a convenience store, but I sometimes don\u2019t notice until I\u2019m so far off the beaten path that I just need to soldier on and get my caffeine in the office.<\/p>\n

I have done a better job over the years at not forgetting my lunch because few things ruin a day at the office more than knowing an awesome lunch sits in the fridge at home.<\/p>\n

The getting dressed thing usually comes together with no problems. I might forget to wear a belt on occasion, but don\u2019t have that formal of a workplace so that doesn\u2019t matter much.<\/p>\n

What does make a difference is when I do all of these things perfectly, but don\u2019t really think about how Option A affects Decision B. I don\u2019t notice those problems until it\u2019s too late, like when I sat down for lunch at my desk a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

I had made my lunch the night before, throwing some leftover pasta into a microwaveable container with some sauce and frozen meatballs. That sounded like a delicious option, and I eagerly sat down a little after noon. That\u2019s when I noticed the problem.<\/p>\n

I wore a white shirt to work that day. The ramifications of this decision never crossed my mind as I got dressed. As I said, this is before 6 a.m. so I don\u2019t always take the time to think about how much lunch might affect my wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Marinara sauce has had a checkered past with my clothing. My wife once made me take off a white button-down I wore to work when I started to sit down at the table for dinner that night. She has seen what can happen.<\/p>\n

Stuck at work with no backup wardrobe, I used a little extra care while eating. I paid closer attention to my surroundings as I twirled the pasta and cut the meatballs. In the end, I made it through the whole meal without spilling anything on my chest.<\/p>\n

I felt vindicated. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. I overcame my morning inattention to avoid walking around the entire afternoon with pasta stains on my shirt. I have had to do that before. It\u2019s no fun.<\/p>\n

A couple of days later I made a fantastic dinner from leftover taco meat and some tortillas we had in the fridge. As I prepared to sit down and dig in, I took a second glance at the white sweater I put on that morning. I thought for a moment before taking it off.<\/p>\n

I tempted fate once that week. I didn\u2019t like the odds of making it through another meal without a disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
