I am a superhero. (If no one is watching)
Today I had a pile of stuff precariously balanced in my arms as I walked from the lobby to my office. My giant key ring to open the vault was sitting on top, and mid-stride the keys toppled off and away from me. I shifted the balance to my left hand and lunged down with my right hand, catching the keys with a remarkable amount of flair. I straightened up and looked around at the fifteen people scattered around the office - none of whom were facing my direction. Then I shulmped off to my office disappointed.
Later that afternoon I was carrying a piece of paper in one hand and a large binder clip in the other. While talking to the assistant registrar, I played with the binder clip. At one point I snapped it so hard it slipped from my hand. Once again I lunged (this time more confidently, I might add) and managed to smack the clip before it hit the floor. Of course, this was the time people were watching.
