MizzPinkx Greetings - Lucky?
You know those people whose plans and schemes always end up backfiring in the most blow-up-in-your-face kind of way?
And those people who are never in the right place at the right time, usually through no fault of their own but because of fate, or destiny, or luck, or whatever it is that causes things like that.
I seem to fit into that unfortunate category.
The place I first worked at closed down a few months later, and the place I interned at last summer might be heading the same way.
Naturally, it has occurred to me that maybe I have something to do with these unfavorable happenings.
But perhaps things are going to change now.
A few days ago I went to a mall here in Ottawa with my mom, only to find it closed.
It was only one in the afternoon, so that made no sense at all.
The lights were off, but I could see people inside. My mom and I decided to take a chance and go in anyway. We saw lots of people, some sitting, and many milling around in a dark mall with all the stores closed.
On inquiry, we found out the power in the area was out, and no one knew when it might be back.
I told my mom it was useless, and we should just head back, even though I felt thoroughly irritated. My mom convinced me to wait for a few minutes, and just as I agreed and began to walk towards a table, all the lights came on.
I couldn’t help but beam from ear to ear because we were the only ones who had just entered the mall at the time and lo and behold!
We started walking towards a still motionless escalator, which people were walking up, when I suggested using the stairs in case it started working and going the wrong way.
My mom pooh-poohed my idea so I decided to use the escalator anyway, and as soon as I stepped onto it, it started working. And in the right direction too.
Maybe I’m not unlucky after all. Or maybe whatever it was has now left me alone and my luck is going to get better. Maybe this was some sort of a sign of things to come.
Or maybe it was all just in my head, and I am in fact lucky, as my mom says, (even though I’m sure the last part is just to make me feel better).
Whatever the case, I guess I’ll find out sooner or later.
Till then, take care, and good luck to all with everything all through the upcoming year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
