Smooth Criminal

This afternoon, I was overcome by motion sickness...

while using a compound fluorescent microscope.

An Improvement

For the last two days, my gym skills have improved. With my new padlock, I haven't locked-myself-out-of-my-locker-wearing-only-a-towel. Instead, yesterday I fell asleep on a gym mat, and this morning I walked into a mirror.

But, at least I was clothed.

Naked

This morning at the gym, I accidentally locked myself out of my gym locker. My keys (including the key to my lock), wallet, phone, clothes, shoes, bag, and even my chapstick were all trapped that locker. I had nothing - literally - except a towel.

A friend of mine, also at the gym, dressed in haste, left me his own towel, and ran to get the manager and some clippers to break the lock. While I waited for him to come back, I pondered who would laugh harder about this... my boyfriend or my co-workers. I guessed, but guessed wrong.

While my co-workers laughed harder about it, my boyfriend just wanted to know what I would've done had my friend not been there to leave the locker room and seek help. Would I have walked out of there wearing only a towel and sought the manager or a custodian?

I'm still wondering that myself.

May Day

Two men on the streetcar this afternoon were discussing May Day. It took me a few minutes to realize they were talking about the Bond girl from A View to a Kill.

Quoth he: "I mean, who knew it was also a workers' holiday?"

Mayday.
