It was an uneventful Monday. I was sitting at my desk, TV on the Daily Rundown on MSNBC, my computer on with my email loading. This start is the way everyday starts. Boring-- I know-- but I have to make sure i'm up to speed and ready to tackle any problems.
I click on a message from BGOV. My breakfast is off to the left and I pick at my eggs and sausage. The BGOV email is about a new offering to keep Hill staff informed.
"They made a mistake on the BGOV Leadership race summary." I announce to the room. Im not really expecting a response.
I continue to scroll and read. There aren't many email specifically for me but there are a ton of news alert emails. News alert emails are killing newspapers and my attention span.
I grab for my smoothie and shake. From the corner of my eye I see a flash of blue. Then the first hit. Its cold. As I look left and right the flash of blue becomes an onslaught. Splash. Splash. Splash in a few seconds i'm covered in smoothie.
I have an 11:00am.
