Just the other day I was on my way to an interview with a recruiter.
I was standing at Gordon station when a very non-obliging bird decided to swoop down UNDER THE SHELTER mind you and drop faeces on me.
On my tote bag, that is.
I checked carefully and it didn't get my clothes, and the only bit of me it got was my hand (the hand that was placed on my tote bag).
Yelping, I made my way to the station toilets, swearing "shit shit shit". I felt that at least I should use appropriate language for the moment. Then I tried using the only available accessories (toilet paper, water and soap) to rid my bag of birdy-poo. Oh, and my hand, too.
I missed that train but caught the next and I decided not to regale the recruiter with this amusing story of birdy-droppings at the interview.
However, I have heard the old adage that if a bird chooses to drop its droppings on you, it's good luck! Is this meant to be an omen? Will I get a job with this recruiter? Or does it simply mean I will get no more bird plops?
Or does it mean that my TOTE BAG is to receive the good luck? Will it be a very lucky and fortunate tote bag, that has lots of happiness and longevity in its toting life?
I'm a little confused, but very optimistic!

maybe your bag will be lucky because you will put heaps of cash in it as a result of your new job?
Same thing happened to me on the way to work the other week. Little scoundrels must have it in for us.
