what a day

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

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.
