Almost Oops
I nearly sent a co-worker on a wild goose chase tonight. He asked me how to get to the Met from Penn Station. I told him to take the E train to 53 Street/3 Avenue, transfer to the uptown 6 to 77 Street, and then walk from 77 and Lexington over to 82 and Fifth. Then, because by a fluke I happened to know what exhibit is there now, I asked him if he is going to see the Van Gogh exhibit. At which point, he informed me he is going to the opera. At which point I realized the horrendous mistake I almost made. I promptly gave him the correct directions. Afterwards, I called Lesley with the exact same question Arnie had asked me. She had the awareness to ask whether I meant the Museum or Opera. Lesson learned.
