My day, so far:
-Slept poorly, ran late getting out the door to work.
-Squirrel ran out in front of my car. I braked, thought I'd avoided it, and then it dashed back under my car as I was accelerating away. My rear wheel hit it.
-Thought maybe the squirrel was alright, because it seemed to be moving around, so I circled around to check...it was in death thrashes.
-Unable to deal with this wee animal clearly suffering, I decided the best option was to put it down quickly, so I ran over it again. I felt horrible, and can only hope the people in the nearby office building didn't see the whole thing and think I am some kind of nasty animal torturer.
-Now, really late for work, I realize my blackberry is still at my house. Normally I'd leave it behind, but today I a group meeting for school, and I promised a friend I would call her to make plans for later. I need the phone for both those things. Back home I go.
-At work, incredibly late, with boss mercifully working from home, I manage to spill coffee on my hand.
-I "crossed" the data from two projects with nearly identical names...thankfully, it wasn't too hard a fix. Hopefully.
Blech.
It's all good--I'm plugging through, I'll go do my group meeting for school tonight, have some dinner with my friend, and go to bed early. Tomorrow will be better.
