I’m not talking about Loki from the “Thor” movies, I’m talking about Loki, the Trickster archetype in Norse mythology, with an assist from the Coyote from Native American culture. Tonight they might have been getting an assist from Murphy.
I’ve said before that the day I go without posting here, it won’t be because I didn’t have anything to say, or even that I was on a cruise or a flight to Australia or something. It would be because “something came up” and I just forgot.
After being up until 1:00 AM last night writing (a good thing!), little sleep, a busy day at the hanger, an interminable drive home (three of four lanes blocked with no viable alternate routes), and a busy evening filling out job applications (including one in particular which sounds really interesting and I would love to have a shot at), I finished my chores and was this close to hitting the sack. Of course I had posted something, I had been on WordPress for the last hour!
Wait…
I was on WordPress looking up articles and putting links to a few choice posts into my cover letter for that really interesting job. They want to see some examples of my writing, and while many days (like today) I sort of blather on and attempt to be sporadically witty, some of the stuff I’ve written (such as the simple astrophotography series, in this case) I think aren’t half bad. So there was lots of digging and linking and searching, and now I’m about-to-drop tired and I’m done with everything for the day. Right?
Misdirection. Camouflage. Hiding the obvious in plain sight. The old three shell monty performed with the to-do list. With this, the demigods of chaos and made their play.
Not tonight, guys. Tonight I can bitch about your mythical presence for 314 words and I win.
At least for tonight.
