Driving back from my first client this morning, the guy in the car next to me honked and pointed at the side of my car. Since I couldn't tell what he was talking about, I pulled over hoping that someone had taped a $100 bill to the side of my car. As it turned out, I had a flat tire.
I put the space-saver tire on my Civic and headed to the tire repair place. The wait was over an hour and a half, but I was able to get quite a bit of work done – including this post.
The tire place offers free WiFi so I was able to sit and work on Internet things. I also answered my calls and scheduled appointments for next week. I did have to postpone some appointments for today, but I was still able to get to everyone I had scheduled (at least that's the plan, I haven't left the tire place yet).
Everyone else is watching TV and reading magazines farewell to Princess Di issues of People. I have written my article for today, ordered a couple parts for my new digital camera, caught up on email and read today's news online. I don't feel like this setback has wasted any time. In fact, I have actually enjoyed this unscheduled burst in productivity for today.
