I rode into work today only to find that the building was closed for the day due to an electrical fire/manhole explosion a few blocks away. I had read about it in the news online before leaving and briefly thought about the possibility of power being out in my building... But I didn't get my hopes up.

This is seriously the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm only working one day this week (tomorrow). Sweet.

On the way home, one of those breakfast/lunch wagons you see at construction sites passed me. One of its side flaps was open and was horizontal, so that when it passed, the side flap thing passed directly over my head. It was probably about 6 to 8 inches above my head, but it was still pretty disconcerting!
