So yesterday, I looked under the cap and won a free 591 ml Coke product. I redeemed it after catching a late afternoon screening of Star Wars, which I had no been in no hurry to see, for good reasons too, but I will not here bore you with my critique of The Attack of the Clones. So I'm waiting for my bus and I decide to look under the cap of my new Coke bottle right away, only to find that I had won yet another 591ml Coke product! Since I have been known to forget to keep my capsules after consuming my drink, I thought it clever to remove it right away.
I put my drink down on the edge of the bus seat, between myself and the wall, but seeing how I'm not wide enough to fill the seat, my drink tipped as the bus started speeding away from the platform. Much bubbling and oozing out resulted (since the rubber thingie was no longer inside the cap to keep the container water-tight) and half my drink spilled onto my seat, so much so that I was soon sitting in a puddle of Coke. Obviously, I moved one seat over, but the damage was done: my cotton undies had soaked up much of the Coke puddle and so I had to sit in Coke for the entire half-hour ride home. And I was fighting the giggles all the way home too, despite the evil looks the other passengers were giving me.
The whole incident reminded me how every time I get high on myself I somehow get shot down... Like that time I got 100% in calculus and then walked into my chemistry class only to fall down the step of Williams 102 in front of hundreds of people. I was probably so busy mentally congratulating myself that I didn't look were I was going. And there are many more such incidents that have happened to me since college. My mom thinks it's karmic. Of course I had to somehow make a silly Star Wars connection, and so the whole incident brought me to think that if there was anyone would could bring balance to the Force, it was probably me - lol.

Since we were so busy and that the actual hookup to refill the container was outside, nobody noticed that All 100 gallons spilled onto the floor until later that day (the huge stainless steel containers were in the back storeroom).
The coke must have been almost a foot deep in the back area. Of course I got pegged with the duty of cleaning it up. It was one of the nastiest messes I have ever cleaned up. I was sticky and gooey from the syrup and it took about 8 hours to finally clean it up. I literally had to be hosed off in the dumpster area. At least it wasn't pepsi :)

Instead the Bad Chemical was going all over my nice clean darkroom floor. I made scary noises at the Photo 1 class that was in that day and made them put rubber boots on and clean it up. I took great pleasure in screaming about how touching used fix would shut douwn thier livers the whole time they slogged about in the mess. It was great.

Pretty proud at my great skills of multi-tasking and feeling in charge of my receptional domain, I then later that day get duped by two retards "Interested in a back issue" to use the bathroom. They didn't want to use our bathroom, they wanted to steal from everyone. I shouldn't have let them use the bathroom, I ordinarily don't let anyone. The one time I do, they turn out to be thieves.
