Everybody's talkin' about fillin' holes, but I GOT a hole today.

In my pants. image

Big 'un, too. Snagged the pocket of my dress pants on a Room Service cart at work.

RRRRRrrrip. The whole seam down my right leg tore out, leaving me, umm, very well-ventilated.

That was just the finale. The day began with a 42-oz bag of ground coffee falling on my head from the top shelf. One of my coworkers left it open, of course. Coffee in my eyes, coffee in my nose. A mouthful of coffee, and I don't even like coffee that much (and prefer to consume it with a little hot water on the rare occasions when I do drink it.)

Did I mention the coffee in my shirt, my shirt pocket, and my tie? I'm still combing it outta my scalp. Oh, yeah- and finding it in my ears too. I literally "have coffee coming out of my ears".

And that was just the beginning and end of my evening at work. The in-between part had all sorts of entertainment, too. image




Oh- one funny thing happened, though- somebody at work (who is totally unaware of my forum title and numismatic habits) called me "The Holey of Holeys". Little did I know how appropriate that name would turn out to be. This is the third time I have caught my pants on something at work and ripped them, severely. The other two times I split the seat of my pants, though, so I guess tonight was a small improvement. I got some cracks about the cave-creature white skin on my leg, but nobody was able to make comments about what color underwear I had on. And I suppose I could have taken a shower in hot, brewed coffee instead of dry, ground coffee. There were some small consolations.

  • It is always good to look at the bright side. It's just as valid a perspective as the pessimistic view, and it feels better, too.

    At least you were brave enough to share those stories. They were funny, but I'm glad I wasn't in your shoes!

    LordM-shouldn't you be managing your own turn-of-the 18th century british castle, with a full compliment of lackeys to do the physical work?
