Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.

A little. Not about today or anything but some other things.
No. It's a beautiful day; I'm going to enjoy it.
I _really_ want to superstitious because I think it would be a lot of fun but I'm not.
I'm sure I'm jinxed for thinking so, but no way am I superstitious.
Strangely, I had a burr in the ass of my jeans that I discovered when I first sat down to drive.











Spooky.
Over the many years I worked, the only two times I ever got laid off were both on Friday the 13th! Six years after the first Friday the 13th layoff, I was joking about it with co-workers on Friday the 13th. And walla, around 3pm, myself & 27 others got laid off. So . . . .




(However, Friday the 13th today, was a good one at that. So . . . )
My only "bad luck" Friday the 13th was 40 years ago when I was a senior in High School. We had a bomb threat called into the school and had to evacuate to a facility 2 blocks away. Well, then again, we did get out of classes for the afternoon.
Same afternoon, about the same time I was evacuation, my brother was working on a machine at the business he owned. There was a spark and a flash...causing him 1st and second degree burns on his face and hands. So I guess the day was worse for him. He survived with little or no scaring, but still cannot go in the sun without some serious sun block on his face,.
I don't believe in bad luck checking the calendar, but I do believe there are "star-crossed" days where everything is just going to go badly. I've had them, everybody here has. Unrelentingly shitty days that generally go from bad to worse to "I can't fucking believe this" the minute your feet hit the floor. It'd be nice if we could pinpoint a simple cause like solar flares or horoscopes or evil spirits or fucking midichlorians, but in the long run all you can do is just suffer through them as best you can, go to bed as early as possible and try not to operate any heavy machinery.
I wish they had had some Friday the 13th movies on last night.
