Paranoia....

I think Someone may be gunning for me. On Tuesday, after work, I went to go get my new glasses from the optometrist, and it was Stuff In The Road Day. The occasional sudden stop due to traffic I can understand, but not only were there several sudden stops by people in front of me, but there were lanes shut down at blind curves due to traffic cops and someone lost a stepladder in the middle of the toll road. Try avoiding that at 65 mph without hitting someone!

This morning, the water in the apartment was off. Apparently, the landlord was waiting for a call, because it came on about five minutes after I left a message on the office answering machine. Oh, and my toilet's broken. After taking a shower with air in the pipes (making for a noisy and slightly entertaining shower that I expected to cut out while I had shampoo in my hair), I managed to a) drop everything that goes in my pockets at least once while getting it in my pockets, b) leave my phone in the apartment when I left the office, c) almost miss my exit (exciting a small bit of roadrage from some guy), and d) hit every traffic obstacle in downtown that was between the toll road and my office.

Seriously, I think Someone has loaded the karma rifle and is waiting for me to stick my metaphysical head out. Or maybe it's just August.

EDIT [4:53 pm]: The water outage was due to a busted pipe in our building. Yay. I'm not looking forward to any fallout from that.
