A Duck and Cover Week

Some weeks, the universe is just out to get you.

Last week was one of those weeks for me. I experienced career failures, poor health, and a dismal outlook on life.

Today wasn't a whole lot better. For example, two post offices closed just before I arrived (I think they did it just to spite me), the library parking lot was completely full (when does that happen?), I took a swig out of a water bottle that had been in my car for who knows how long (what kind of illnesses can I develop from such actions?), and my cat was sick (even though I brush him every day and feed him hairball remedies by the dozen).

When everything seems to be going wrong, all I can do is sit back, sigh, and say, "I suppose it could be worse," or "This too shall pass." I like to follow those more placid statements with a string of curse words and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

For everyone out there who's also in a bad mood (and who wanted to kick the television when the unimaginably-wealthy, annoyingly-attractive, madly-in-love "royal couple" looked so smugly happy on Friday), I post this video for your viewing pleasure.
