I normally don't work on this particular day.
I witnessed/was involved with a serious industrial accident where a 19 yr old boy could have been killed back in 2002.
Almost didn't go to work this morning but I had to because I hadn't put in for a vacation day!

I had a Friday the 13th moment myself, today. I was finishing up cleaning up the garage so I could roll the Bonnie in. I shoved a small pile of stuff off to the side with my foot, looked around, and reached for the doorknob to go inside, when I smelled smoke. I looked around, rying to find out where it was coming from, and spotted a small plume of black smoke from the pile I had just moved. It turns out that there was a loose match in the pile, and when I moved the pile, the match struck itself. It was lying, burning, with the flame touching an old shop rag, right next to two cans of wood sealant.
If I hadn't caught that little whiff of sulfur...

Today sucked.
I had a badass day at work. Put four new tires on a Trailblazer in 38 minutes, that'* the time from when I got the keys to when I gave them back, And I started Monday. Super Good.
Then on the drive home I pulled up at the light and torque braked to 1500 so I didn't have to put up with a lopey idle. Then a 96-99 SSEi pulled up with an older couple, Their window goes down. She says "You ready?". The light turns green. I want a supercharger. Two lengths in 40ft.
Of course as I let off the gas I heard a "eeeeeeeeeekkkk" followed by a "EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK" and a final "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" as my right side hub locked up. Very fun. I pulled over (really the car pulled itself over) and had a great conversation with them as I beat it back into it'* track and did 10mph home with my emergency blinkers on. Cool people.
