At times, all it takes to ruin the rest of the day is a small event.
Today, I dropped my cell phone.
I've accidentally dropped my previous phone multiple times, and it never
suffered any damage (other than cosmetic scuff marks). But not so with my
new phone. No scuff marks, but the display is now malfunctioning—half the
scan lines are now white, making it hard to read anything on the
display.
I just want to crawl back into bed.
Update on Tuesday, May 9th, 2006
I should have stayed in bed. Just after writing this, I called
Smirk telling him I was too sick to stay at work—I had barely
enough time to make it to the bathroom before making my offering
to the Great Porcelain God.
Traffic driving back home was bumper to bumper.
I don't remember much after hitting the bed.
Blarg.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
