1. Today my car spun out on some ice and I ended up sideways across two lanes of traffic. There was a minute or so of panic where I couldn't find the flasher button (fun fact: it's the hugeass button in the top center), and then I realized that maybe I should just back up, get straight, and keep going instead of sitting there like a moron.

Jesus Christ. I read the first sentence and I was like "Oh fuck not another car accident what the fuck Allison has the worst luck ever" but hey, you're okay! That's awesome! Ice is really really stupid. Even when I'm at home (aka in England where it isn't really below freezing) whenever I walk outside I still do the ice-test-foot-twist where you gently twist your foot as you walk to test the friction of the ground.

Your coworker sounds either really awesome or the dullest person alive.

Also, the following is, in fact, a youtube video of Lisa Caprera (alum/would-be junior) reading out Miles Pflanz's very own poem, "Me and Ghostface".

You love it.

Also you were there. I realize this now. Stil, now it is IMMORTALIZED.

Oh man, I am so glad you recorded that for posterity.

Also said coworker is more on the awesome side of the spectrum, but don't tell him that, straight to his head, etc.

1. I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE NOT DEAD.

Let's move somewhere that has no ice.

3. You learn the most bizarre shit from co-workers.

1. I'm also glad you are not dead, and I now remember why I moved to warmer climates.

2. This makes me so happy inside.

3. Thank you for informing me of this. I now have to read about this and share this with my coworkers.
