Somewhere on the way to work, I stepped in dog poo. I didn’t realize it until I got to my cube at Megacorp, where I was trapped in a small space with the smell. I went outside, cursing all dogs everywhere, but was unable to find a puddle or any proper grass to get it out of my shoe.

It all kind of runs off and we don’t have problems. But today it just poured and I got soaked. Plus, my rain coat is falling apart and the replacement hasn’t arrived yet. OK, so it’s just the zipper pull that broke, but that’s enough.<\/p>\n
