what a day

Toronto, 2005.06.28

Today, I'm having "one of those days". After a terrible night's sleep, I had cycle problems on my way to work that caused me to stop to do some tweaking to the front derailleur. Then at work I was unable to solve what should be a fairly straightforward problem with the software I'm working on.

When I went out to get my shots from the pride parade, I was nearly hit by some shitforbrains in a Civic who decided he had to plough by me as I passed an exit lane (perhaps he thought I was cycling onto the Gardiner Expressway?). I had to hit the brakes hard and nearly flipped. Screaming after him, I noticed that he'd cut off some pedestrians, too.

Something tells me to avoid attempting anything out of the ordinary after work today.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
