there's something to be said about the week that starts with your desktop screen turning upside down.
even for those with a less superstitious mind than mine.
ominous. that's one of my favourite words. i can use it in practically every sentence, considering everthing, when worked backwards can be a sign. i wouldn't blame the next mishap in my life on the sign. it just invites the smell of the possibility of an unfavourable occurrence , and hence one wisely prepares for the worst. simply based on the sign.
so hours later, when everything falls apart at work, i think to myself 'ah well! my desktop did that little jig, didn't it..' not that it makes the problems any less significant. but the disappointment is almost explained. justified, even.
it's not really superstition then, is it?
dig a little deeper, and it might surface that it's a really funny mechanism that the mind automatically resorts to. sheer childish blame-shifting meets the traditionally ingrained need to turn fatalistic on an otherwise sunny monday morning.
