So I don't totally know what "Mercury in Retrograde" means, but I've heard it mentioned in the same way people nod knowingly when the realize the full moon might explain the weird things that happened to them recently. But yesterday when my boss mentioned to me the whole retrograding mecury I looked it up. Bad travel, messed up electronics, plans going awry... this explains my summer so far. Here is the (hopefully complete) list:
- broken foot
- new A/C installation installed incorrectly
- 2 cancelled flights
- 1 3-hours delayed flight
- My luggage doesn't arrive with me
- GPS doesn't work 3am on unfamiliary highway
- phone dies 3am on a highway while using the map function
- car in for repairs but "repaired" with a broken part i.e. still broken
The GOOD news
- My foot is healing nicely
- My new A/C was repaired quickly and they gave me a coupon for a car wash!
- I made it to Maine!
- My luggage eventually made it to Maine!
- I came upon a rest area with outlets to charge my dead phone long enough to get me to hotel
- They are fixing my car as we speak with a nice shiny whole and unbroken part
You got nothin on me retrograding Mercury. But psyched for July 1st to get here quick.
