Minor Disasters

Do you ever have those things in your life that you repeat often, and you think, "One of these days, I'm going to lose my concentration and this routine thing is going to go very badly on me." Today that thing went badly. But humorously.

So, every Tuesday and Friday I water the plants in my office. We normally keep a jug here with water in it that we refill every so often, and of course the water was out today. Since there is NOBODY ELSE AROUND, I didn't really have anyone to forward my phones to in order to refill the water, and its just down the hall, so I simply hurried.

Now, we refill the water in the janitorial closet, which has a large hose attached to the water. Often, when I am filling up my water, I think to myself, "If I turned on the pressure too high, this hose could go flying and spray water everywhere." Which is normally what keeps me from turning it on high.

Well, I wasn't thinking today, and I stuck the hose into my water jug, and turned it on high, and BLAST! Water started spraying everywhere, I had to catch the hose mid-air, I had water dripping off my face, and I'm just grateful that nobody in leadership saw me. Though I will probably as to see it again when we watch the post-mortal review of our life, because I think it would be super funny to watch.

I am now very grateful that I don't have to wonder "what if?" when I think about turning the water to full pressure. Now I know.
