Well today was an odd combo of events.

- Realized I forgot my badge at home 3/4 of the way to work. Since you can't even enter a building without a badge, I had to drive back to pick it up and wound up being 20 minutes late.

- While rushing up the stairs because I was late, the strap on my [overpacked as usual] messenger bag ripped off and my bag with work laptop inside toppled down a flight of stairs. luckily nothing broke, except for my bag.

- Since the strap ripped off, the zippers on the main pocket of my bag could no longer close fully, as I discovered when one of the zippers then fell off and couldn't be reattached.

- Caused a bit of a commotion by entering an overcrowded room in the middle of a presentation from the back and dropping my water bottle. I suck at maintaining composure when I'm flustered.

- Left the presentation early for a meeting with a manager down several blocks in another building. When I reached my car, I realized I left my water bottle back in the presentation room and had to rush back for it also. -__-

- And of course I accidentally throw my bottle as I'm running back to the car, scraping it quite a bit.

- Later inadvertently pulled off the remaining zipper of my messenger bag when I tried to zip the bag without thinking about the missing strap. So I accidentally zipped my laptop and stuff into the bag without being unable to unzip it. Wound up just breaking the zipped part altogether.

- When leaving today I almost took another person's messenger bag, until I realized that it wasn't mine because the strap was still intact... AFTER already putting my laptop inside. and then when I removed my laptop I almost took the book inside also, which wasn't actually mine.

tl;dr: I need a new messenger bag. RIP old messenger bag. At least it was free, I guess.

Saw some interesting groups and presentations today, at least. And they gave us free pizza and beer. Oh work.
