monday the 16th
as opposed to the friday the 13th that never was. i’m sure the curse started with the chair, and even though i finally discovered how to raise it ten minutes before i was due to knock off for the day, the damage had already been done, and there was no saving my day.
i also know a day is cursed when it begins to pour just before lunchtime, becomes blazing hot after you return from lunch dripping wet, and starts to pour again just before the end of the work day.
hotmail is giving me negative vibes again, and no amount of reinstalling webmail extensions and rebooting thunderbird will help. no amount of googling will throw up helpful answers either, so i can only wait and hope it captures some positive vibes soon. not from me though, for i am cursed.
a friend gave me a 2×2 rubik’s cube with shiny, reflective sides. i confidently thrust aside the 3×3 cube i had been attempting to make some sense of for more than a month now, and went to work on mini-me. never, never underestimate the power of the small. after some time, red started to look like orange, blue like green, yellow like silver, and me like a complete loser; my eyes were crossed from the effort, and i was this much more frustrated because unlike the 3×3 cube, you could actually get this much closer to solving it without actually solving it. but how can i not be able to solve it when countless others have? so i push on, refusing to look at all the solutions offered on the www, refusing to concede that i am, really, not that smart.
my room lies in a mess as i battle the mysteries of a multi-colored cube… as does my life. i refuse to attempt any more work because it is a cursed day, and further efforts will only result in further failure. i call this garfield philosophy. so useful to natural procrastinators, don’t you think?
