Today, at work, I have managed to: [ul] [li]slice my wrist open with the serrated edge on the plastic wrap box[/li][li]bang my head against the towel dispenser [/li][li]burn my hand while heating up water[/li][li]spill flour on one part of the floor and mix on the other[/li][li]get a blister on my heel[/li][/ul] I’m sitting down at home now, watching TV. And very, very carefully not touching anything. ---

It sounds like you need pampering. _rubs feet and grabbing your your favorite book and a cup of chicken noodle soup_ Want I should change the channel for you? Here’s to a better night and a better day tomorrow. Either that or a more successful attempt at suicide, sweetie. …wear that skimpy thong? Well…if I must…let’s see…my schwang goes…in the elephant’s trunk… ---

Ooof. That sucks. By the way, are you free for a Doper dinner next Wednesday? An out-of-towner’s going to be around, and having dinner with **Sunspace** and **Cerowyn** (and me) at Rebel House. ---

If you could have spilled water between the flour and the mix on the floor, then… I don’t know, that was going somewhere, but it just sounds messy now. Hope tomorrow’s better! Way, way better. ---

Would you like some homemade ice cream? I promise it’s not wasabi mint. But it _does_ have chocolate chips in it. 🙂 ---

I just wanted to add my condolences. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. (Also, when I saw the thread title, my brain’s cd player kicked on with, “What a day, what a day for an autodafe…” Maybe that would make you feel better?) ---

If all that happened to you, and you’re here to tell the tale… Tomorrow **will** be better 🙂 Just turn the big sky coolers on over there, will ya? I’m flying over tonight (yep, landing in Toronto) and I did **not** expect to be landing into the same temperatures as I’m leaving! :eek: ---

I think I would have given up and gone home for the day after burning myself. That and the preceding incidents would have made me go insane at that point if it all happened in one day. Problem is, I’d be afraid to drive home. ---
