    Sometimes bad luck is averaged out over a few weeks day by day and sometimes its a avalanche of suffering as it all hits on the same day.

    Rough. Like my son says, optimistically, when things don't go his way "maybe next time". I hope you get a week of nice and easy jobs.

    A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.

    The best part of going to work is coming back home at the end of the day.

    Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
