I’ve learned a few lessons in the laws of the universe this week:
Bad Hair Days
The one day you don’t use conditioner on your hair, it’s going to be extra humid and make your hair friz all the more.
Traffic
When you’re running late for an 8 am meeting, traffic on your commute route increases by at least 30%, and idiot drivers increase by at least 60%.
Extra innings
When you get fed up in the 12th inning and decide to go to bed, your team ends up winning the game, which you really would like to have seen.
Deliveries
When the furniture store gives you a delivery window between 2 pm and 6 pm, your chairs will invariably arrive at 5:55 pm, especially if you stayed home that day to wait for the delivery.
Got any you’d like to share? 
I got this e-mail from a friend:
Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy “Will you marry me?” The guy said, “No” and the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, stayed skinny and farted whenever she wanted.
The end.

A couple of months ago, I sent my first creative writing submission for publication to an annual anthology by the Story Circle Network. This was the first time I tried to get any creative writing published, so I didn’t want to say anything until I got an answer from them. You know, I didn’t want to jinx it or anything. 
Well, I found out this weekend that they accepted my piece! It’s not a paying job, but to me, it’s my first creative writing publication clip!
Sometimes I think that English is the second official language at my company, with the first language being the intricate, often misunderstood art of PowerPoint. Even memo-type material is distributed in PowerPoint! If it’s not in PowerPoint, it’s not important, or official for that matter, especially in the marketing groups (to which I belong).
So my hubby found a great article that totally reflects the preoccupation with PowerPoint. Maybe I can propose that to the Academy of Physicians to be added to the next physician’s desk reference: Preoccupation with PowerPoint (or PPP) is indicated by an intense physical need to communicate in short, bulleted phrases, and an intuitive disregard for any information communicated by method other than PowerPoint.
