Sometimes, I just try to be nice. You might say 'good for your karma'. Unfortunately, karma's an ironic bitch: I let another car in ahead of me, that car is always the last one to make make it through the next traffic light. I give some change to a beggar, I need exactly that amount a few minutes later. I help a customer who has problems making his payment online, that's the one who asks his credit card company to do a chargeback when his parcel can't be delivered the next day because he wasn't home.

This universe we live in, it can be pretty mischievous. Let me give you another example:

• Monday: not too busy
• Tuesday: not too busy
• Wednesday: not too busy
• Thursday: not too busy
• Friday: all hell breaks loose

Of course, this only happens when Friday's my last day of work before my vacation.

Yes, I'm leaving today and should be in São Paulo by this time tomorrow. Now please don't panic, I know what I wrote about Brazil and about watching "the first world burn while sipping a caipirinha on the porch of your self-sufficient fazenda". However, my traveling there doesn't mean that I think the shit's about to hit the fan.

Actually, considering the examples above, you should expect stuff like "famines, epidemics, state breakdown, and demographic and civilization collapse" to occur as soon as I return to Luxembourg.
