losing but happy??!!!

Yesterday i begun the day with the knowledge that i would finally be able to complete this long pending work... pending for almost a week. It was pending because the program hadn't been configured... but yesterday what could have easily taken me 4-5 hours of time took only 20-25 minutes and not because i am highly efficient but because somehow there weren't as many differences "to fix" as usual... so i was very happy.... and i told a colleague who was equally surprised at finding that the work had finished so quick... his suggestion "today seems to be your lucky day.. wish for something!"
i thought of giving it a try but somehow nothing came to my mind... so i realized may be i do have everything!! but seems like this tempted fate! After that i have been surrounded by bad news...
bad news 1. Lost my debit card (thankfully no money lost other than the amount paid for getting a new debit card)
bad news 2. My phone bill is exceptionally high ... exceptionally.... reason: when i was supposed to be dialling 02191XXXXXX i was dialling +91XXXXXX which meant instead of being charged 16cents a minute i was charged 2.5$ a minute :( .. thankfully i know my mistake now!!
bad news 3. i had shipped this order... it went in the confirmation awaited from bank status.... and no confirmation came.. so i ordered again... again no confirmation ... finally asked a friend to ship it for me (my credit card had expired and i was using net banking; may be his credit card would work) ... well of the 3 transactions i did (1 reqd and 2 not reqd) 2 somehow got confirmed.. that too one of them got confirmed after 2 days of placing the order :( .. no thankfully here... more than me losing the money... the "shipped to" person will think me to be such a big fool :(

But somehow after all this i ain't very sad.... may be the shock hasn't quite set in yet!! or may be it is the good luck that had set in yesterday saving me from the worst!!
Although i better be careful... but then again what worse can happen??

P.S: Fate, please don't get tempted again this is not to spite you... but read it like... with you on my side (a big thanks to you) i am sure i will be safe! Please keep helping me!! Thanks ;-)

well well well.. i think u tried ur luck too hard by falling for "make a wish" even after u had nothing to wish for.. the gods must have sensed u being so selfish/opportunists..!

And come to think of it.. it's always you who make the choices and pay/get returns(in a good way or bad)..! So it's not the fate.. it was u!!

Since the day has passed a long way.. no point in empathizing with ur loss(though i do!) and for the same reason hope the above lines don'e get me into any trouble.. ;)

well you anyway can't get in more trouble than you already have... i think last time we talked we left at me still being angry with you... ( i dont remember the reason... but knowing me you would know how i love to act angry!!)
