You know it’s going to be a bad day when you wake up, swing your legs out of bed, and put your foot down on a wasp, which proceeds to sting you in the arch of your sole. Actually happened to me. ---

All in one day… I discovered I’d been running the wrong commercial for an advertiser all month… I gave myself one HELL of a folder cut… My belt fell into the toilet while I was going to the bathroom and I peed on it. It was a cloth belt, so needless to say I was _sans_ belt for the rest of the day until I could toss that baby into the washer. ---
