Flat tire day.
That's right, had a flat tire on my bike ride into work today. The misfortune occured at the 5 mile mark. I realized it as I turned the corner, the back end had this squishy feel to it. I sensed there was a little bit of air left and there was a slight incline, so I gutted it out to a flat spot.
Took me forever to change the tube though (probably a good half hour). The tires are called Armadillos as they are supposed to be resistant to flats from things like glass slivers, etc.. But I discovered the tire met its match with a 1 inch screw that managed to make it all the way in (screw head was flush with the tire surface). I had all the tools I needed, but get flats so rarely anymore it took me a while to get the right leverage with the levers I had.
I got back on the road and it seemed like the rest of the day I was running late, or was rushed/not-prepared. I even forgot to shampoo/spray/etc work has shower facilities, but by the time I realized I forgot my toiletry bag at my desk I was too far along to turn around.

The ride back to the truck was uneventful (thank goodness), although I did screw up before I got my bike out of the bike locker. At work they have 4 or 5 bike lockers outside the building. These provide a covered area to store your bike, but you have to check-out a key everytime you use them. Tonight as I was getting ready to leave, the security guard stopped by my desk to let me know that I could just leave the locker key in the locked box at the security desk as he was doing one of his "rounds". Usually, I go out, unlock the bike locker, go back in the building and return the key to the guard or the lock box. Tonight, I dropped the key in the lock box before realizing I hadn't retrieved my bike yet! So, I had to run around the building looking for the security guard so that he could fish my locker key out of the box! I thanked him, but told him it was his fault for telling me to just put the key in the box (like my subconscience could think about nothing else but dropping the key in the box).

Oh well, I work from home tomorrow, maybe Wednesday will be better.
