Life is never dull.Take, for example, my trip to the bank. I was in a hurry, and making a trip through the drive-thru. Here's the rundown...I pulled up, and quickly hit my automatic power window. I then reached for my license and deposit, then turned to grab the bank tube that looks like a time capsule or the Magic Bullet blender seen in infomercials on the driver's side door. Big mistake.My nose bounced off the glass. The window had failed to go down, and I had failed to notice.I glanced around to see who caught my mishap, the same way I look to see who spotted me knocking over ten boxes of Ritz crackers in aisle 10 at the grocery.Next, I put my deposit in the tube and place it back in its holder. I press the SEND button, and soon hear a suction of air as it starts to move upward.Which is when I felt a tugging sensation at my neck. Turns out, some fringe from my scarf had gotten shut inside the tube. Hey, a common occurence. I frantically yank my scarf back, and had to laugh out loud, though I nearly suffered a minor choking hazard.And, of course, I look around to see who is watching.A quick thank-you from the teller, and I was on my way. I put my car in gear and slowly pull forward......Only to drive over the curb. This time I don't even bother to see who's watching. Does it even matter?The surveillance video would be quite entertaining. The sad thing is, stuff like this happens to me all the time.All in a day's work.

And How Was Your Day?
