Yesterday I had a moment where nothing seemed to be going right for me. I was carrying some soda out of the ACM office to put in the fridge when I banged one of the cans against the corner of the filing cabinet. The can burst open and sprayed all over the office. Once the can stopped gushing, I dropped it into the trashcan. Of course, it started gushing again, this time all over the books on the bookshelf next to the trashcan.
After it stopped spraying soda, I got started on cleaning up. I got some paper towels down from the top of one of the shelves, and in the process knocked a bulletin board down, breaking the plastic hanger off its back. Once I got the bulletin board back up and the books dried off, I started working on the office. The file cabinet that I had originally banged the can against was obviously covered in soda, so I got some cleaner out of the closet and started cleaning the filing cabinet. But this is a comedy of errors, so, of course, the cleaner took the paint off the filing cabinet.
That's when I gave up.
