500: Wins / Losses

- I have accidentally dumped a foaming bottle of Diet Coke all over my desk.

-/+ I thought I lost my cellphone this morning, but Pete says it's still at home, hanging out in its charger.

+ Pete confuses Al Jourgensen and Al Green. If it were accidental, it'd be a minus, but it's intentional and witty -- so it gets a plus.

- Halloween candy we bought is completely and inexplicably deformed.

+ Halloween candy still tastes great.

- Pete's phone is busted, yet again. In a seemingly endless search for a replacement, we are thwarted at every turn and forced to suffer awkward customer service and poor line clarity. Big minus.

- In an uncharacteristic scheduling error, Pete and I agree to go to a Halloween party at the same time we've RSVP'd for a fancy evening wedding. Wearing costumes to the ceremony seems inappropriate. I declare "Halloween is cancelled" and pout for 48 hours. Huge minus.

+ Chris suggests we go to the Halloween parade instead. Halloween is no longer cancelled. Big plus.

+ Chris sends me a Boing Boing link with a photo of a miserable-looking baby in a weird, crocheted Yoda-ears hat. This makes me feel better about the Diet Coke incident.

So despite my desk being sticky, it seems to even out.
