I'm sorry, but I laughed as I read this. I shouldn't laugh because I know it was a *rough* ride for you, but I'm glad you can laugh about it and learn a little something along the way. The way you wrote it was very entertaining.
Sorry you had a tough day, but it seems we learn more from the things we do WRONG than from most anything we do RIGHT (it's what I tell my students, anyway- and it appears to be the motto of my life).
