There are things you'd think I would have learned by now after 32 years of existence. For instance, you'd think I have grasped by now that:
- It's a bad idea to try to pluck your eyebrows at midnight after you've been putting Frangelico in your bedtime Cocoa.
- There is no right thing to say to a man who approaches you randomly at a streetcar stop outside a bar at 10:00 on a Friday night and says "Canada is the worst country in the world! You're all complacent and corrupt!". Anything you say will simply result in further yelling.
- If you've been job-hunting, you should probably CHECK YOUR VOICEMAIL MORE THAN ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS IN CASE ONE OF THOSE JOBS ACTUALLY CALLS YOU BACK.
And yet this weekend I managed to demonstrate that I have failed to take in all of the above lessons.
Clearly the only remedy is an afternoon of solitary chocolate and sulking.
