A Luke-warm Mess

There's this guy I know. A friend. Let's call him Zeke. Now he's got
his shit together, mostly. He works enough to support his family. He
is a nice, solid, east-coast transplant guy living & working in LA.
But something always seems to go wrong when we hang out or work on the
same shows. He's usually late. Some gear or battery is missing. One of
his kids or his wife misplaced something he needs... But the jobs
always get done; he's always apologetic and gracious when anything
does "go wrong."

It got me to thinking. Zeke's not a "hot mess," he's a "Luke-warm
mess." He doesn't qualify as a hot mess because ultimately, the job
gets done, he takes care of his family, and he's a good, honorable
guy. To qualify as a hot mess he'd have to be doing coke or abandoning
his children or some such thing. So... He's just a Luke-warm mess.

Who do you know that's a Luke-warm, warm or hot mess? If it's yourself
that is the hottest mess in sight, you might want to make some
changes, but please share your hot-mess stories first.
