As luck would have it, when I finally win something, I end up with an emergency at the office. That’s the way things shaped up for me today.
I got a telephone call on Monday (yesterday) that I had won something and that I would need to collect it Tuesday (today) in the evening. This was apparently a condition of winning. I figured it wouldn’t be too onerous to actually show up and win something. But, as luck would have it, this morning I found out we had a bit of an emergency at the office which required me to stay later today. This, of course, confliced with the time of the prize collection.
Truthfully, I’m not all that broken up about it since the prize was not something I was likely going to do anything about. But, this illustrates my luck when it comes to winning things. All in all, I suppose a bit of unluck with winning things compared to having a relatively smooth life is a fair trade.
Of course, if I won a bunch of cash, I wouldn’t complain.
