No Whammies!

I must admit that there are days that I look on the schedule and silently sob to myself. Mind you, these days are few and far between. However, I had one such day recently. The boss listened to my concerns and said, “It’s a day to test your luck”. “If you are lucky, all will fall in your favor and flow smoothly. If you’re not lucky, everything will go against you and you’ll have one of those days.” I’ve always considered myself to be a fairly optimistic person. But does optimism transfer into luck? I’ve never won the lottery but perhaps if I actually bought lotto tickets I might have more of a chance. I did manage to play slot machines for 2 hours on $20 and come out even (okay, so they were only 25-cent slots). And I do feel as if my guardian angels (I require multiples) are watching over me. Sometimes I feel like they are so overworked that they are going to retire on a beach somewhere by the time I’m 35. And that’s not too far away! And it’s not like I can ease their workload with a gift certificate such as the one my boss offered me for having to deal with the day of mayhem. And how about all the phrases involving luck. Good luck! Wish me luck! Follow me lucky charms! Gettin’ lucky? Wasn’t there a Lucky brand of jeans that put “Lucky” on the fly. Heh heh, ‘cause I’m gettin’ lucky with my Lucky pants. And if I get really lucky, someone will veto them Lucky pants…
