Sometimes I want to kick life/fate/my luck in the teeth really hard! Then I have images of me kicking air and realize that it would be pointless.

I haven't discussed my job much, but I'm an independent consultant. I absolutely love what I do. However, it's not for everybody. It is a cut-throat industry with lots of backstabbing, but what isn't these days.

My week started out all wrong. First, I got off on the wrong side of the bed... literally. Have I mentioned that I have slight OCD habits? I absolutely must get out of the bed on the right side. I got up on the on Monday! Got to the office and spilled coffee all over my skirt - fantastic!

My current client and I have a weekly meeting. The second I saw his face, I knew something bad was about to happen. Of all the times in my life I had to be right, this is not one I'm happy about. He inform me that they would not be able to proceed with the remainder of this project. We still had 3 more months to go!!! So I've lost 3 solid months of income. The industry is completely dry with all my other clients and potential clients are in the same position.

I then get home to the news that my roommate has decided to move in with her boyfriend in two weeks. Gee, thanks for the notice!

Maybe this is a good time to start buying lottery tickets.
