in six words

Here's another exercise I will try to engage in regularly.

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was asked to write a story in six words - the result "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."

In 2006, the editors of SMITH magazine invited readers to describe their life in six words. The results have been collected in a book - check out Not Quite What I Was Planning by Rachel Fershleiser.

I'm not a huge storyteller (yet), but here's my day, in two versions.

My work day: Didn't work. Read the $*!?%?& manual.

My day in general: Thought it was Friday. Damn it.
