Oh crap

Excuse me, I can't help the natural (wo)man in me. But do you ever have those moments where that is all that you can say? Unfortunately for me, is a bit of a reflex, like a jerking knee, this reaction follows a corresponding stimulus. 

Let's consider the possible stimuli:
-following someone on a bike (when it's still a very fresh concept) and you thought you were going straight but the person you're following turns rights and you end up continuing straight rather embarrassingly. 
"oh crap"
-checking your billing statement and finding out that they've laid a late fee on ya' when you're paying on the day the payment's due. go figure, or . . .
"oh crap"
-realizing you didn't quite put in enough money in your checking account and that your freebee draft fee is already used up.
"oh crap"
-knowing deep down that you're eventually going to have to tell your boss that you're not in fact going to be here in the fall like you said  -yeah-sure-maybe i might-be at the interview.
"oh crap"
-going to take out your contacts and realizing that the right one magically popped out of your eye, and that's why you've kinda been seeing blurrily all day.
"oh crap"

Well, I seem to have exhausted my list at this point. I promise I'm not an irresponsible loser (well, perhaps i shouldn't actually promise that, but i'm pretty sure.) I just . . . am a normal person with normal dumb problems, and happen to react maybe not as well as I should. Well. the next post will indeed be happier.
