Dear Diary.
Today I gave Brittany a haircut, and we got lunch and she helped me with a number of technological issues I was having at home / on my laptop.

“First, do not take a taxi to [Company Name] - you are there to make money, not...”
– My new boss at the full-timer, after I asked about delaying my start time due to transportation issues. He’s going to get the machine I needed to pick up delivered to me, and suggested a regroup starting February 10. Perfect.

Instant Karma.
Events in my life uncannily present themselves immediately following an equally opposite situation.
One situation falls into place, another falls apart
