Equilibrium

Tuesday was - to paraphrase 'Cube - a Good Day. I found out that I have been recognized with an award for my scientific accomplishments within my field, I got a reviewer invitation (which I accepted) from a very good journal, I was asked to be a collaborator on a very interesting grant application, and we got some pretty darn cool research results.

Tuesday, most things came up aces.

Wednesday, on the other hand, most work-related things that could've gone wrong did, and a couple of things I never saw coming kinda' crapped out on me as well. Some of it was due to me being severely sleep-deprived on this particular day, but other things, like being stuck in traffic due to a car that was on fire close to IKEA just came out of nowhere. We also found out that the chassis on our brand spankin' new stroller had some kind of design malfunction.

Is this some kind of restoration of cosmic equilibrium?

That must be it. It's like the joy of becoming a father, and then realizing that your kid is going to speak "trønder"...
:-D
