Do we have any superstitious people here?
I am generally not superstitious, but there are areas where I am. A few years back I had just gotten a new job. It was a good job. It paid well and had good benefits. It was also located in my hometown, and such a job is hard to find here due to it being a small town. Otherwise, I have had to have a long commute to be able to work a decent job.
It was second shift hours, and every night to and from work I would listen to this CD in my car. It was a new album by a heavy metal act. Really good stuff if you are into that kind of music.
Well, I got fired from that job two days out from my 3 month evaluation that would have made me a permanent employee. I wasn't doing a bad job for them. It was all politics. I might have actually been doing too good of a job if you catch my drift. Somebody higher up on the ladder felt threatened and had the power to nip me in the bud...and they did.
Anyway, I will not listen to that heavy metal album now- good as it is. I'm afraid it will bring me bad luck.

I joke about the mirror & ladder ones.
BUT - I have thrown out "bad" clothes that have done me wrong 
And I always kiss my hand and hit the roof of the car when going thru a yellow lite lol
I still get pissed off about that sometimes even though I have a good job now that I've been at for over two years that is actually better than the one I got fired from. They might have done me a favor looking at it from the perspective of hindsight. It still hurts though.
I will end up working on it for a week.
