Holy Cats! Yesterday, everything seemed to go wrong!

Okay, so yesterday was one for the memory books...er, blog...

It started with my heading to work on the motorcycle...late. It was 147 degrees below zero.
En route, I got caught in traffic...twice, then I realized I NEEDED gas...
I stopped and tanked up ($15 for gas on a MOTORCYCLE?)
I was still cold, since I don't have a windshield yet on my new bike...so I went inside to...
BUY A COFFEE...(idiot move, did I mention I was on a motorcycle?)
I figured I was close to work, so I could balance it in my lap on one of those trays. I was wrong. The darned thing tipped over just as I got onto the road again...so I had to pull over. I poured out the entire thing on the side of the road, put the cap back on and drove to the next gas station. I then proceeded to clean up the bike as well as I could with paper towels.
Finally, I made it to work, though I still didn't clean up all of the coffee...
I get in the door and all Hell breaks loose...I had a webserver that wasn't responding, I had a fileserver that took 20 hours to copy a single 20GB file as well as issues with our Police Department. I can't even remember all of the problems I had all day...
I was supposed to leave at 12:00PM and ended up staying until 5PM, so much for my getting out early to wash the bike and go to the gym...
I do have to say, the ride home ALMOST made up for my awful day...
