At work, I park my car in an underground garage. There are some relatively low pipelines (all of which are covered in soft foam) under which I have to walk in order to reach the elevator.

I have good hand-eye coordination, but I don’t know if that’s relevant in this scenario. I just thought I would share that with you…because it’s my blog.

Where was I?

Right. So, every day, I perform a slight duck-and-shimmy manoeuvre as I approach and pass beneath these pipelines. Do believe am tall enough to require such effort.

This morning, I decided to test my belief, wondering whether I was being a slight egomaniac thinking I was too tall for the pipeline.

It was full steam ahead.

Right before my head bounced off – at what some might consider a high velocity – the aforementioned foam-covered pipeline.

This experience confirmed two things: (a) I am as tall as I think; and (b) I might need some help (seeing as how the “am a dork” excuse can carry me so far).
