I was late getting out of work tonight. At about 7:30pm, I realized the fax machine cartridge had run out, halfway through printing an invoice. So I opened a replacement cartridge, but couldn't install it until after I'd closed the store, counted my drawer, and put everything else away. Then I spent twenty minutes figuring out the instruction sheet, fighting rolls of carbon paper, slicing a new notch in one heavy cardboard roll because the pre-existing notch was off-center, and trying to get the cartridge back into the fax machine without letting any of the parts slip and undo all my hard work.
There are times I badly wish I had an extra hand.
Anyway, I had to code an extension on the main floor alarm, since I didn't get out until 9:35, rather than my usual 9:10-9:20.
But this turned out to be a good thing! You see, as I was walking home along Cascadilla St., I saw the beginning of the Ithaca College fireworks display, which I'd assumed I wouldn't get to see. So I stopped and spent the next twenty minutes leaning on a rail at the edge of Cascadilla Creek, watching fireworks and listening to the sound lag several seconds behind the lights.
Serendipity is a beautiful thing. :-)
