Lapse in concentration ruins day
Isn't it funny how a little lapse in concentration can really balls up your day? The day started pretty well. Nice and sunny, I was out the door on the way to the office in good time and knew exactly what I was going to work on once I got there. I parked the van and got out. Bang. With the clunk of the door I'd ruined my day.
The van has one small, but annoying problem. The driver's side door can't be opened from the outside the lock has broken. You can get out, but not in. So I always get in from the passenger side and climb across. When I park I lean across, lock the passenger side, grab the keys from the ignition and get out the driver's side door.
I didn't grab the keys. I was stood outside a locked van with the keys in the ignition. The office keys are also on the same keyring. In fact, the only way to get into the van is to get the spare set of keys from the apartment, 5 miles away. The keys to the apartment are obviously ALSO on the keyring, and the only other copy is with Sarah somewhere in Ireland.
So I'm sitting here, writing this in an Internet cafe, drinking coffee. Contemplating how quickly a day can go tits up, and wondering what on earth I'm going to do about it.
