Beware of the Rubber Band Theroy

Ever have a really good day, or a series of really good days and think "uh oh?" You wake up late but somehow end up early for work. Also, the boss isn't there. Niether is the co-worker you hate. Your Amazon package arrived early and it seems you've actually lost some weight. Great right? Not so fast. Beware of the rubber band theroy. And what, you ask, is the rubber band theroy? The rubber band theroy is when all the good things that happen are eventually balanced out by bad. Amazon package arrived early? They sent the wrong thing. Idiot co-worker absent? Tomorrow you'll be paired on a project with them that will last a week. Also, your boss knows you left early yesterday and they are not happy. The rubber band theroy, as coined by Dr. John Becker (of the world renowned practice found on TV), gets all of us. If you think you're exempt, you're not paying attention; Seriously, it's everywhere. Lurking around every corner, the proverbial dark lining on a silver lining. You got a premo parking space, the price of which will be a train stuck between two stations for 45 minutes. The day of a major presentation. That perfect date? It's gonna cost you the file you need most. Because your computer ate it out of spite. Three weeks ago I achieved a life long goal (which I can't talk about now but there is definitely a major announcement coming), and have been besieged by asthma attacks. I have been in the emergency room every week. Coincidence? Probably. But do not underestimate the power of the rubber band theroy..
