So.. this was my last week..

On Monday and Tuesday.. I got royally hosed by management at my job..

On Wednesday.. trucked towed/parking ticket... then, when I got my truck back.. it got broken into and my work laptop stolen....

Thursday.. actually.. nothing major.. breather..

Friday.. and Saturday.. well.. mainly time wasted trying to reconstruct my work files.. and.. well.. other things I won't go into...

And then Sunday.. when I thought.. ahh.. it's a new week.. I'll get some work done at the office.. and make up for last week.. my truck gets broken into again and my bike stolen...

This all makes me wonder two things..

1) I hate to start getting cynical.. but are people really that messed up?  I mean.. in general.. I try to do the right thing by others.  I acknowledge that I've made some bad calls in the past..and I've hurt some feelings.. but to deliberately destroy/harm others.. what does that feel like?  I've often thought that people can't really do wrong knowingly..or at least most people can't.. that they have to rationalize it so somehow it's ok for them to do it.. but now I'm starting to wonder.. and I hate them for making me doubt humanity...

which leads to..

2) Do we attract such energy to ourselves?  I mean... such a run of bad luck .. wow.  I was talking with a friend last Thursday after my truck glass was fixed.. and she said, 'keep your energy positive.. otherwise you attract more bad energy.'  Do we?  I'd hate to think I was responsible for others doing bad things to me.. that would suck.. but why does bad luck seem to come in streaks?  I felt like I was trying to be positive.. maybe.. maybe not..

So .. today was Monday.. it went OK.. is my streak over...?  Can I breathe a sigh of relief and step out into the world again?  Can I trust others..?  Or have I been jaded.. about people.. life.. luck..

Stepping onto a plane tomorrow afternoon.. before.. that never worried me.. but after this past week....
