Some days you make your own bad luck.

pasitheaMy plan for today was to get up early and come to work and get caught up on some stuff since I spent much of yesterday at a court house.
Alas... Yesterday I lent Stacey my train pass and somehow this morning I forgot to ask for it back and did not realize this until the conductor asked me for a ticket. *panic* Fortunetely, I ride enough that I didn't get a fine, but I did have to get off at the next station instead of the station I wanted. It was only one stop before mine and the weather was nice so I decided I'd just bike the rest of the way.
Now there's a bike path that goes along the side of the train tracks between the Palo Alto and California St stations and it's a pretty ride and has no cars, so I went to take that. Unfortunetely, there's also some construction. To make a long story short, there isn't access to the bike path right now and I took a quick detour into a vacant lot... Which was filled with those tire-killer thorns... My tires took about 20 of them... Each... On on each tire hissed when I pulled it, so I expect I'll be walking home this evening. On the positive side, I can now identify what plant generates those things and where I was most frequently picking them up from.
Mad it to work by 9:30. Not quite what I had in mind. :/ Ohwell. I'll stay late.
PS: I blew my second interview with Lok last night. Again, my own fault. Ohwell. Best to get all this bad luck out early in the week. Supposedly I get my implant tomorrow. I feel like Captain Barbosa. "And the first thing I'm gonna do is eat a whole busshell of apples!" Well, maybe not, but it'll be freakin' nice to not speak with a lisp anymore. That's been really crushing to my self-esteem and makes me stutter because I start thinking about how stupid I sound rather than what I'm supposed to be talking about.
