If you ever needed proof that Murphy hates me....
Yeah, this is the straw that broke the camels back. From now on I no longer have to wonder why fate liked to fuck with me. I now know for absolute certain that Murphy hates me and loves to rub it in my face.
See, what happened is that I showed up to work early, as usual. I took some money out of the atm because I hadn't played scratch offs in 2 or 3 weeks, so I felt I earned the right to buy some today. Well, four cashwords later, I haven't won squat. So instead of wasting more money, I convinced myself that it would be futile to continue playing. (BTW i bought the first 4 tickets of the roll. This is important later.)
So, I start my shift, and Laurie says she'd going to help contribute to the 'lack of one's in the drawer fund' and play scratchies herself. I sell her a cashword and a one dollar. What does she win? First off, she wins 4 bucks off the one dollar, a feat I have never achieved. Then, THEN, she starts freaking out because she thinks she's won like 20 bucks off the cashword. Irksome, kind of, but it does get worse. I scan the ticket and discover that she has really won 125 dollars. 125 F'ING DOLLARS!!!!!!! I have never, in my life, EVER won that much money, EVER!!!
Suffice it to say, that while I am truly happy for Laurie and know that she really does deserve it, I can't help but feel in my most selfish of hearts a little bit of envy and annoyance. I know this makes me a horrible person, but at the moment, I don't really care. Anyone want to help with my one-woman campaign against fate?
