Chaos Day

You know the kind of day when nothing goes quite right?

I sometimes think of it in Tabletop Role-Playing Game terms: You roll so badly, you are going to get a penalty to all your rolls going forward.

Then thank makes you mess up the next roll, then the next. Pretty soon you can't do anything.

If I look at it objectively, it's not quite that bad. But in the moment, it feels quite demoralizing.

That said, there were some genuine moments of awesomeness today. Quite a few people went out of their way to help me out today. I'm extremely grateful for that.

Anyway, I wanted to keep my blog posting streak going. See you tomorrow.
