I've 'shown off' about two things recently and in very quick measure had karma/murphy bite me on the ass. This is why I don't.
On Friday I mentioned here that someone called me a 'laser extraordinaire' or words to that effect (admittedly, I only said this after a couple of troublesome days last week, as mental relief).
Well, today - Monday, was utterly terrible. I seriously fucked up a job last week - I thought I'd completed it with a large margin for error - turns out, I'd interpreted the quantities wrong, so not only had I not finished what was a last-minute job, but my supposed large-margin turned out to be an "oh fuck, do I have enough to even finish this?" very small-margin.
So far, so boring.
Yesterday at a Sunday lunch with a load of friends I'd not seen in a while, when the conversation somehow came around to it, I exclaimed with no small amount of admiration how susprised I was at how quickly my daughter had transitioned from nappies to just pants. Like, two months - no problems! Fuck yeah!
45 minutes later she'd slightly dampened herself. One change of clothes down (in an awkward-for-changing pub in Brixton). About an hour after that, she totally pissed through another set of clothes. Ok. About an hour and a half after that, I had her in my lap dicking around with a piano in the back of the place and... she just totally pissed herself. Sat in my lap. Ffs. Then I had to carry her to get her changed, so had piss all over my shirt too. In public. An hour away from where I live. I didn't bring a change of shirt or shorts. Next time, perhaps.
This morning, I was proud - she woke us at 7am to go pee. She's not done that before. Yaay! After, I put her into my bed and try and get another hour or so of kip and then slept in a bit, after she spent 40 minutes kicking my back. An hour and a half and a sleep-in later little, fucker pissed in our bed too. On my side.
Fuck you, Karma. Go find some other fool, I've had enough.

Edit doesn't make this any more interesting, sorry.Nairn - It's near 10pm and I've 75% the fucked job, and am doing the two other jobs I had booked in today, due first thing in the morning. fml. No child piss though.Nairn
- lol@me. Home at 11:40, put bag down took shoes off, heard child on monitor, went in to check, picked her up as wailing, 2 mins her puking over on my shoulder.Nairn
- Never tell Karma to go fuck herself.Nairn
- i read this earlier after exporting 48 pdfs that need to be sent off tomorrow morning and realised at midnight after a bottle of wine that i'd fucked it upkingsteven
- now near 2am and i'm hopefully nearly done, haven't been pissed on yet but the night is young.kingsteven
- I thank God for booze getting me through so many fucked up jobs.Nairn
- there is, of course, the lingering possibility that light background alcoholism led to those jobs being fucked up in the first place, but i'm not going there.Nairn
