I got basically emotionally blackmailed into working an extra hour of my all night shift (12am-9am) on a day when I basically worked non-stop the entire night and needed to go home and get to bed so I could get to an appointment. I was pretty pissed.

Oh and my MLS team lost.

My dishwasher broke yesterday, and now I have to wash all of my dishes by hand. Surely I have proven the existence of bad luck!

I had a bad day yesterday. It must be Friday the 13th!

...Ignoring the fact that I've had about 7 bad days this week, and today doesn't look any better. But Friday the 13th!

Yesterday I finally figured out what I wanna do for a living and begun writing my CV. Found a job in that department that requires no experience so hopefully I'll be called in for an interview. After that I slept most of the day. Went for a power nap at 5 pm and woke up 2 am, so it wasn't a bad day for me at all.
Wasn't even aware that it was Friday the 13th until today. I'm not superstitious though, so it really doesn't matter to me.

If you acknowledge the fact that our calling days pretty random names, numbering the days of the week in a pretty arbitrary fashion, starting at pretty much random points in time, you cannot but realize that it's all just premium grade bullshit. For every single (low) number in the world, you'll find some culture or cult that will attach some random meaning to it, and it's all bullshit.

It's nothing but a psychological issue that some folks let develop into a psycho-pathological one. The universe, the dogs, the mice, the tofu, the worms and the atoms don't give a damn about what we call things and how we choose to count them.

The only fun bit about it is when you have to use public transport. Check out the people, target the ones that are obviously superstitious. People do crazy things when they believe in crazy things. Just as with the templars, it's generally not destiny, just other people messing with you.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I believe in Friday the 13th after what happened to me yesterday.

So, basically, I was sick all day yesterday. Sick to the point where I had to call out of work, and I couldn't even enjoy the day off. But it gets worse, as since I called off yesterday, they had me switch my work day onto Sunday instead. This wouldn't be that much of an issue... except I ALREADY had an extended work week next week anyways.

So now I get a weekend I can't even enjoy, followed by an 8-day work week. Friggin Friday the 13th.

I've had fairly good days on past Friday the 13ths and yesterday was one of them. I got the job I'd been waiting all bloody summer on, I got on the bus in decent time even after taking the long way up (there's some construction going on a few blocks down the street, so every time I need to go into town, I have to choose between dealing with dipshit drivers and asshole flaggers on the way up or take the only way around and add another several minutes to my commute) and I found a place downtown that not only makes good spaghetti and a better-than-canon version of a Brandy Alexander, but doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Yay me.

Quoted for truth.
