Good Karma

Quietly transfering mail for an even quieter faculty member, a high pitched scream reverbates through the 12th floor of my office complex. STEVE, HELP. I come running out, with a shoe-less colleague to find a book case falling on top of a pregnant faculty member. She and her husband are doing all they can to keep the bookcase from teetering harder than the town drunkerd. We help push the bookcase back against the wall and the adrenaline slowly wore off.

Later that day, I got a free pencil. I love how the universe rewards good deeds.

Do they even make pencil sharpeners anymore? I haven't seen one in years.

Good spelling on "Minneapolis." And "sharpener."

I thought you were being sarcastic so I googled them and both were correct. First time they've both been correct.
