I don’t know why I woke up in a bad mood today, but I did, and I could feel the claws start to come out even before I’d left my apartment this morning.  I was muttering under my breath about a co-worker while getting ready for work.  Then on my way to work, some genius in a Mercedes decided to test the theory that anyone who drives a Mercedes owns the road — he was drifting in and out of his lane as it is because he was on his phone and not paying attention to the road and came within inches of hitting my car in the process, so when he tried to jump in front of me on the freeway, I conveniently sped up enough that he wouldn’t be able to… and then a few minutes later, I successfully cut him off just to reinforce in his head that he did not, in fact, own the road.  Then I got to work and gleefully deflated a pompous former co-worker by pointing out that the premise that he’d built this entire argument on was incorrect.  Then I found out a friend is losing her job tomorrow along with a whole bunch of other people I know, and things took a turn.

I don’t believe in karma or fate, I don’t think that the type of vibe you put out into the universe is what you’ll get back because I’ve seen way too many assholes and self-important and undeserving people get ahead in life, while other good-natured and deserving people are left by the wayside or putter along in obscurity or are mired in difficulty.  I’ve accepted this as fact, and I’ve accepted that the universe can be unfair in a lot of different ways.  So it’s not that I’m sitting here taking responsibility for what’s going to go down tomorrow, because I had absolutely nothing to do with the situation besides know the people involved.  But a small part of me does wonder if I unconsciously saw some of this coming, and that’s the reason why my emotional coloring was more on the dark side today.
