I predict that today will be a corker: I am looking at the date and wondering if I know any numerologists who will be able to do something with 24/9/08 or its variants to come up with Friday 13th or some unlikely but equally unlucky combination.

I realised, far too late to do anything about it, that I have forgotten to take my meddies today, so there is nothing but happenstance to prevent my head exploding before I go home tonight, nothing to stop my blood pressure from building to unacceptable levels, my face getting redder and redder and my head expanding like a balloon at Mardi Gras¹. On the other hand, it is clear that the Karma Pixies truly believe in balance in all things, so it appears that I am running out of coffee. I suspect that having less coffee will be a little like pushing a couple of control rods back into the reactor, but at the same time it will make a long day seem interminable².

I am consoling myself by burrowing through a bag of roasted cashew nuts and I don’t care who knows it.


¹These are universally acknowledged symptoms of high blood pressure. According to cartoon time.

²Assuming I don’t doze off because of caffeine deprivation.
