*510 - murphy's law

What a glorious day. (To be said with intense sarcasm.)

First, I discover I lost my passport & travel documents. Heading back to Kenneth's tomorrow to check if I've really lost it, or whether I left it on the bus. Called the Shortline emergency number (because it was past office hours), got to listen to idiotically cheerful music (perfectly incongruous with the situation) on repeat for 9 minutes before a human picked up the phone and told me to call back tomorrow.

Immediately after, ...

Evelyn: OH SHIT
Kenneth: ..?
Evelyn: HAHAHA WHAT A DISASTER OMG
Evelyn: i was opening a little packet of cornflakes and then it exploded
Kenneth: now you fertilized your carpet?
Evelyn: and now my ENTIRE desk is covered with cornflakes
Evelyn: what a large radius of cornflakes
Kenneth: large radius hahahaha
Evelyn: i think i'm very nerve wrecked and opened it very violently
Evelyn: now i'm eating cornflakes off my table.
Evelyn: there are cornflakes in between my keys
Kenneth: argghhhhhh
Kenneth: just suck your keys
Evelyn: HAHAHA
Kenneth: eew gross
Kenneth: i didn't say that



There was actually a lot on my laptop, but of course my first instinct was to turn my laptop upside down and shake the little cornflake bits out before taking a photograph.

'Twas a most spectacular explosion from that teensy packet: cornflakes from my keypad (all the way on the right of my desk) to under my printer (all the way on the left). Hurrah.
