Today is Friday the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _"

You know what? I can't stand today. I refuse to acknowledge it for what it is. It is just another Friday to me.......Well, I suppose I can't say that and yet still be able to explain it. So here is my explanation:

Statistically speaking, Friday the 13ths have always been bad for me. I always get bad news on them, or something bad happens or the day just goes wrong. Now, let me qualify this, because I think most people just don't get it. Friday the 13th doesn't have to be the worst day of the year, or categorically worse than every other day. It just has to not be good. Now this trend of mine happened long before I entered the workplace, so I believe that this is not the function of some self-fulfilling prophecy. This is merely the result of the fact that FRIDAY THE 13THS SUCK!!!!!

Now, on that note, today was bad. I've had worse, of course, but I was definitely NOT on my game. I was a bit off, and the only thing I can think or is that it was because today is what it is. Now if you'd like to argue that that IS self-fulfilling prophecy, then go ahead. That doesn't make me wrong, it just means that today still affects how it is going to turn out, whether through me or not. At least I don't blame every other day for some reason. Only this one. And believe me, being in the workplace is reason enough to try to make sure that the day ISN'T bad, don't you think?

Anyway, moving on, I miss people. Certain ones in particular, of course, and not the generic people as a whole. Some, because they are far away, others because they aren't, but I haven't had the time to see them. I am grateful to have friends that understand me. They are probably the only ones I have left. They understand and (at least pretend that they) are OK with my shortcomings (i.e. my less than stellar communication record.) I love them all, and am thankful each day for their being in my life.

--END OF THE MUSHY STUFF--

Actually, this should be the end of this entry. It is getting late, and I haven't even left work yet. Goodnight, dear reader. May you have a pleasant weekend, and (for those to whom this pertains) have a Happy Father's Day.
