Work frantically all morning to finish work and get off the phone with various long-winded European lawyers in an effort to leave for Houston so you can attend the going away party for a beloved co-worker. Get on road and start driving south on I-45. Receive urgent request for immediate legal work. Backtrack to Waxahachie to use the Starbucks Wi-Fi. Attempt to download 25MB worth of documents at glacially slow pace. Watch the minutes tick by while you wait to start the work that you will ultimately cause you to miss the party. Mentally compose a screenplay where this moment is the last straw in the origin backstory of a new super villain.

I’m so sorry C_____.  I will dedicate my first bout with Batman or Spider-Man to you.
