The Bad News: Our boss locked our keys inside the building. 

The Good News: We didn't have to wait around for a locksmith. 

The Bad News: My boss finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory™. I was too embarrassed to admit that the real reason I learned was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute girls. 

The Good News: A cute girl saw me do it. 

The Bad News: It was Maggie,  and since she's already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a fawn that was just too small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she'll never think i'm cool no matter what I do. It's too late. She knows.
