It seems, sometimes, that every time I try
to do something positive for myself, the world conspires against me to stop me
achieving it! Let me give you an example.
A few years ago I was walking under some scaffolding alongside a building when a disabled person started walking towards me. I, trying to be a good Samaritan, did everything I could to get out of the way of this person, and let him by. I proceeded to walk on, only for my brand new, expensive jacket to snag on the scaffolding and tear from shoulder to waist! I hate it when you do something positive, and the world shits in your mouth!
Now I’m not moping, I have a wry smile writing this, I’m not depressed but check this lot out…
Four weeks ago I started studying for an online Masters Degree. In the first week my PC monitor went kaput and I had to fork out for a new one. Since then, my 500GB hard drive, which I’ve had for years with no problem, has also been on the blink.
One of my best friends back home died of cancer after a long illness. Not good.
I was told I have demo class (very stressful and time consuming) two weeks ago, right in the middle of my studying – normally you would get six weeks notice for a demo class.

My demo class was today, and this morning
before setting off to work I opened an email from my sister to say my poor old
mother has been hospitalised!
Now, world, why don’t you stop it! My mum doesn’t deserve to be ill, I didn’t need all the computer problems (why now??!!?), my friend didn’t deserve to die, and you should have told me about open class bloody months ago! (it went OK but I lost so much study time grrrrr).
Oh, and I have a cold.
Get well soon Mum. Love you.
Rest of the world? Kiss my arse until you can treat me better ;)
