Well, that was spectacular.

I just managed to knock an unopened 1.5L bottle of leftover merlot off a shelf with my elbow at work. (Fortunately, it was Yellow Tail, so I don't feel too bad.) It exploded. Red wine everywhere. The carpet's totaled, and we found wine on the conference table, the chairs, the walls, the trashcan, the minifridge, even the mirror three feet away. Also, tiny shards of glass everywhere--the carpet sparkles at the moment. Oddly enough, I seem unscathed--I'm wearing a tweed jacket and dark brown pants, and if there's any wine on me, no one's able to see it. But the conference room is a disaster area. We picked up as best we could and we're waiting for custodial to send someone. It's just astonishing how much of a mess I managed to make. Wow.

Go me?
