Never tempt the gods.
Dec. 16th, 2010 09:41 amSo, I tend to arrive late. If I try to arrive on time, I'm usually insanely early because I fully expect the gods to get me, and so I allot extra time for the unforeseen.
I wasn't doing anything that ambitious today. All I did was leave a little earlier so that I was here 15 minutes before I am on most days, and 30 minutes before I arrive on many days. Since I wasn't actually trying to be on time, I did not allot for events of doom. I got here okay. I am all in one piece. I did not have any close calls on the way.
But once I was here, I dumped my entire full coffee [1] *aaaaaaaallllllll* over the Foundation Hallway. Fortunately, although facilities was unable to assist and I thought it was going to be paper towels all the way, the Foundation workshop had a mop they were willing to lend me.
So, while that turned out to be less work than I thought it might become - it certainly used up all the extra time I had by arriving earlier than my normal - and I hadda get an another coffee. Which is tasting pretty fine as I waste the rest of that extra time making a post about it. :)
[1] - didn't even get a sip.
