I was awakened last night by late-night caller and couldn't get back to sleep... With a busy day ahead of me, I decided to get some java for additional fuel. A gallon-sized cup of coffee was less than a normal 16oz cup. Some sort of special promotion - I guess it was for bored IT dudes that spend all night looking at porn online and need to stay awake.

Anyhoo, I situate my mongo-cup on my passenger seat with my binder chock full of all my super-important event stuff, my income taxes ready to mail, and my purse. Off I go. When a squirrel is sitting in the middle of a VERY busy street.

(You do see what's going to happen, don't you?)

That gallon-sized mug of coffee goes flying onto the floorboard, along with my binder and my purse.

The binder and its contents are soaked. My purse and taxes somehow miraculously avoid the deluge.

Of course, did I even get a sip of the coffee before this happened?
Of course not!

However, I would like to add that I was wearing off-white jeans that also managed to evade coffee-drenching.

I hope that squirrel appreciated it.
