I woke up with a stiff neck. I needed to shave but didn't have time. I decided to take the subway in an effort to speed up the commute, but an "earlier incident" delayed service and resulted in mobbed platforms. Several trains came through eventually, but each one was so packed that only a handful of people could squeeze on.
I waited for some time. When a train with enough space to board finally arrived, some guy with a full-sized bicycle pushed his way onto the car crowding it even more. What an inconsiderate jerk! He could have waited for the next train instead of pushing on with people who had waited far longer.
During a meeting with a colleague, I dropped my pen in the trash. I went to Starbucks. The cashier dropped my pastry but caught it in her bare hand. She offered to replace it, but I said, "no problem, don't worry about it," and took it as is. I got back to the office, and we had a fire drill. And I discovered that someone whose help I need is about to go on a long vacation.
I'll mention, for the record, that yesterday on the sidewalk I saw a man get into a nasty shouting match with a drag queen. Ugly trash talk was tossed back and forth. Every train car had someone playing music without headphones. Is the full moon rising this week?
Okay, Fate... I've had enough of your shenanigans. I don't know what you have planned next, but I'm ready for you. Throw me that weak-assed shit.
