panic situations

many people will tell you that i'm not one you can depend on in panic situations. i'm like a deer in headlights--i just freeze up or run away.

well, i'm proud to say that i think i've taken one step closer to being more "dependable" in these situations based on my reaction at the gas station last week. ;) i was filling up gas using the automatic-fill lever on the pump. i heard the lever click to indicate that my tank was full. i looked over only to discover that the lever didn't pop out like it normally does, so gas was pouring out of my tank. i pulled the pump out of the tank and managed to pop the lever. it probably would have been smarter to try to un-pop the lever while the pump was in the tank so i didn't spill gasoline on the floor, but hey, i didn't freeze up and that's the most important thing! :)
