So here I sat, at my computer, reading and sometimes reacting to various posts on CS.com. While I am doing this, I am having a lovely late lunch of chicken lo mein that I ordered from my favorite local Chinese place before I have to go off to work.
My computer desk is next to my bed. I desperately need to clean off my desk, but at the moment, have too much shit on it. So I had the lo mein, in its carton, on a plate on my bed. Eating it happily while reading, setting it down while chewing and/or typing responses. Near the end of it, I set it down for the nth time....and the shit falls over! The weight of the fork in the carton toppled the carton over, off the plate and the bed, splattering the sheets on the side of the bed and my carpet with what was left of the lo mein.
Motherfucker!
So rather than force those last few bites down and finish with some satisfaction, I was forced to use paper towels to pick up the lo mein debris, and then a sponge to scrub down the carpet and my sheets. (I'll wash sheets later, of course, but I really don't want lo mein sauce festering on them while I am at work, ya know.)
Life wanted to see if I was paying attention, I guess. And despite all I got accomplished today, I guess I wasn't.
