The Octobers

At the office finishing some work so I can slip away with ease tomorrow. I wouldn't be doing this if I hadn't had such a lackluster performance last week, totally unable to accomplish anything and procrastinating at full speed... this job is not supposed to have overtime. I've been having a rapid fire exchange with my best friend about unfolding drama and I'm starting to believe in something she's calling the Octobers.

Today, my friends who never miss anything slept in and missed a flight home. My other friend had a spontaneous break up with his boyfriend and moved his stuff out of their apartment. My best friend has had her car randomly run out of power while in line at a parking garage after her CAA just expired, and was just offered a really good job with the newly minted ex (of our newly single friend) only to find out about the epic breakup and have the whole thing feeling more uncertain. She also had a shower-related concussion a week ago and the heat died in her car during the first snowstorm of the year on a three hour drive. Another close friend had her new mother-in-law pass away and had to plan the funeral with her new inlaws as she's the most functional and the only remaining female.

I'm not superstitious and told her this was crazy, but then she sent me the email by which she was informed of the breakup... and I think I'm starting to believe. Halloween and the end of the octobers cannot come soon enough.
