Hi!

This morning sucked. For undisclosed reasons, I am very prone to emotion today and the next few. I had a coupon for a free 12 ounce drink at a new coffee place, so I went and got one. I was the only one there, and I chatted with the girls there while they made my coffee, and they were really nice. The coffee was really good, too. I took a sip, then put it in the van's cup holder and drove away. Twenty seconds later, I reached down to take a drink and the cup was gone. The cup holder wasn't very good. My cup had fallen over and the entire thing had spilled over the floor of the van.

Now, I was already emotional, and it was almost 7 am, and I hadn't had a good cup of coffee for months. I was shocked for a minute, and then, I admit it. I started crying over spilled coffee. I cried all the way to work. One of my coworkers was unusually chatty, and that kind of helped me to stop focusing on my spilled coffee. I resolved to treat myself to another cup of coffee at lunch.

At lunch, I found an espresso stand. I asked for a venti latte. She said, "We have 24 ounce cups." I said, "Okay!" I was feeling luxurious because of my earlier lost coffee.

Because I hadn't had coffee for so long, it really affected me. I got pretty hyper and energetic after lunch, which was nice because I usually get really lethargic after lunch. I'm going to start going out for coffee after lunch, but I'll only let myself do it if I bring a sandwich and don't go out to eat.

Something else kind of funny happened. I use a typewriter to fill out forms for about four hours every day. Today, my correction key didn't work. It would only backspace. I asked one lady for help, and she did something and fixed it. Two minutes later, it didn't work again. She fixed it again and showed me what to do. Two minutes later, it didn't work again. I asked my boss, who reset my typewriter and fixed it. This reset my margins and the spaces between my characters. I managed to fix the margins, but when I tried to fix the spaces, they wouldn't fix. When I reset my typewriter again, I was able to fix the spaces, but it wouldn't let me fix the margins. Another lady worked on it, and was able to fix both. Finally ready to type, I sat down.

But everything I type is in uppercase, and now it was in lowercase. So I hit caps lock (obviously). This fixed my letters, but half of what I type is numbers, and now all my social security numbers looked like swear words (*%&_&*_&*(%$) .

My coworker offered to let me use her typewriter. So I wheeled my chair over and started typing. She went over to my typewriter and miraculously fixed everything. I was very happy. I thanked her. I started to wheel my chair back over to my desk, but the arm of my chair suddenly fell off.

I was past the point of caring, so I put it on a cabinet top to deal with later. It rolled off and crashed on the floor. It wasn't even a shape that looked like it could roll. We tried to put the arm back on my chair, but some other part had fallen off and we couldn't find it. So we took the other arm off to call it even.

Anyway, it was a weird series of events to happen in fifteen minutes. It was like everything I touched malfunctioned.
