Today, a few things happened.
1. I foolishly left the office and walked into the (HAD to be) 100-degree heat to get myself a yummy salad.
2. On the way, I heard a woman pushing a stroller bellow to her oldest child "Messiah!" to slow down and wait for her. Doesn't a name like that put a lot of pressure on a kid?
3. On the way back, I found out that my entire building had been evacuated because an air conditioner on the third floor caught fire. My yummy salad wilted while I waited to be let back in to retrieve my keys and go home.
4. Most importantly, I learned a very valuable lesson: Fire Days are not nearly as fun as Snow Days.
