To facilitate easy blogging, today's events will be graded on a pass/fail basis.

1. Arriving ten minutes early for my appointment to get a Holter monitor for my heart only to find that the entire medical staff was in a meeting from which they would not emerge for an hour, after which they told me that it would be another hour of total wait time before I could leave, and yet somehow managing to convey the idea that this was, inexplicably, all my fault - fail.

2. Taking part in a surprise anniversary party at the office for a guy who wasn't let in on the surprise and was therefore in Barrie, but there was coffee and cake anyway - pass.

3. Hearing the woman at the Thai restaurant mispronounce "veggie" as "vaggie," and therefore (without even knowing it was Vaggie Friday) emit such phrases as vaggie soup and vaggie spring roll - definite pass.

4. Flirting with the married woman just because she really is the most humility-inducingly beautiful woman I have any regular contact with and hey, she don't mind - pass.

5. Moping about my life - fail.
