An odd series of crappy happenstance
The last month has been, retro-spectively a pretty crapy month. First, my dive trip got cancelled due to high waves in the Gulf, but we didn't find out until we had driven to Houston. Second I got re-ended on the highway and the person who is responsible appears to have a "fly-by night" insurance company, so I'll have to foot my insurance company's deductable. Third, I got an ear infection a week ago that continues to twinge even today (which I also had to eat a deductible, but that one is understandible). And finally I just found out today that I have a whole slew of fraudulent charges on one of my credit/debit cards. Like $2000 worth. I've already started the process to recover that and it looks like that it'll be ok. It's odd that I didn't even think about all this stuff, as a crappy month until a co-worker mentioned that it "hasn't been your month". I guess that even though this kind of stuff sucks it's just not enough to register on my radar. Most people would say that someone who doesn't notice this stuff is either blissfully ignorant or stupidly optimistic. Personally I'd like to think I'm blissfully optimistic.
