Sod's Law

Sod's Law is evidently 'Any of various satirically pessimistic observations propounded as quasi-scientific laws.' Don't I know it!

I have waited non too patiently over two weeks for delivery of Blogging For Dummies; delivery date yesterday at the latest. Nothing doing, not best pleased I e-mail Amazon and wait. Half an hour after the e-mail is sent a note is pushed through the door, silently. The postman has been unable to deliver a parcel. No knock on the door. I check and find the doorbell is working perfectly; not the regular postman obviously, Sod's Law again. I wander up and down the street, either he's running round or he's hiding behind a hedge. Never mind, I'll fetch it tomorrow and enjoy reading it over the weekend. Only the document stipulates a twenty eight hour wait. Which brings you to Sunday and surprise, surprise, the office doesn't open Sunday's! Sod it, Sod it, Sod it, I hope it's worth the wait!
