It was no more than a week after the devastating Boston Marathon bombings that misfortune unexpectedly descended upon me as well. I was programming my GPS on my way to pick up my co-fellows to attend a meeting last Saturday when I struck the rear of a Ford Expedition, just minutes away from my apartment. While the other vehicle was unscathed, the front bumper and hood of my poor Accord was completely smashed in. Although everyone was okay, I was taught a good lesson that driving does not mix well with multi-tasking. To avoid the potential half-hour walk while on call, I had to urgently trade away my call week. Cooking with the scant groceries I had in my fridge was challenging also, although our incoming co-fellow’s weekend visit gave me a chance to supplement with some enchiladas. Fortunately, living next door to Eric gave me the ability to bum rides to work while the car was in the shop. Meanwhile, the second monitor I splurged on (before the accident) was finally delivered this week. Learning how to use the extra screen space does take a little getting used to. I also had to adopt new dual screen wallpapers to accommodate the wider aspect ratio. However, I’m sure this dual screen luxury will soon be just another thing I can’t live without.
