It’s raining heavy this morning. I slipped on the wet terrazzo floor in the lobby of office building where I work. I hit hard. Nothing is broken, but boy am I sore. The longer I sit in this chair, the more my back hurts. It is going to be a long day.

I did not spill my coffee. Years of training in office arts has taught me that the coffee cup comes first. I held on to it and kept it upright the whole way down.
