Resistance is futile..

I’ve never really followed star signs, they always seem so far off the mark. Today is no exception. It says:

Aquarius:
Feel free to enlist your own creativity today to solve any problem that may come your way, dear Aquarius. Do not feel like you absolutely need to take a rational and methodical approach. This sort of frame of mind has already been tried. It is now time to explore a more intuitive method of completing any task that you wish to tackle at this time. Exercise more of your sensitive nature.

… when really, it should say:

Aquarius:
Many problems will come your way today, dear Aquarius. Do not feel like the world is against you, that would just be paranoia. It’s merely your turn to get screwed over, so touch your toes and take it like a man. Or if you prefer, just don’t get out of bed today, it’s really not going to be worth it.

Now that’s accuracy in a star sign i’d pay to have.

I woke up a bit late, so motored around and got ready for work. I even remembered to pack my lunch from last night’s leftovers. Yum.

A brisk walk to the train station, and then a 15 minute wait for the train which decided to be late.
Can you say, ’sardine tin’?

Got to work. Aircon was blowing like anything, so sent off an email.. something along the lines of ‘Please advise if you can fix the Aircon flow within the hour, otherwise i’m going home and not coming back until you fix it for good‘… Yessiree, I certainly enjoy wearing a ski parker and scarf whilst sitting at my desk.

About 30 minutes later some aircon guy with a ladder appeared. It’s amazing how quickly things get done when you CC your boss, the building manager, and the CEO.

Now with the aircon wound back from ‘baby peas snap freeze’ to ‘cold draft’ mode, I continued working.

Lunchtime comes around, and I head off to nuke my Pork Stirfry. Heat, stir, heat again. Beep, it’s done. Push the open button, someone’s had greasy hands and haven’t wiped it properly. Bleh. I’ll just give it another stir…. PLOP. Steam came out and combined with the slipperyness, I dropped the whole thing. On the floor.. and myself. Cleaned all that up, threw it all in the bin. Marched downstairs, over the road to the food court.

Asked for a small takeaway, and the guy asked me if I wanted rice or noodle. Then he turned around to get a container while I was replying. Then he turned back and asked me again. Sigh.

So yeah, i’m writing this right now whilst eating my dodgy takeaway as some kind of zen exercise so I don’t go postal or something. I think it’s working. Maybe.

All this on top of all the shit that’s been falling apart lately… maybe i’ll just cancel the whole holiday and crawl under a rock for a couple of weeks?

    Only the first weeks of the year! Deep breaths. Things will get better. Don’t crawl under a rock. Cleanse yourself. Fengshui up the place. Get a bath of 7 flowers.
