My Big Mistake Ignoring Ganesha
Okay, so I wake up Tuesday morning, feeling kinda bleh already, right? I remember seeing that Virgo horoscope post with Ganesha’s warning plastered all over it – “Avoid Problems!”. Figured, eh, it’s just stars, probably not a big deal. Big. Mistake.
First thing, I try to sort out this stupid work invoice. Should be easy. Grab my laptop, open the spreadsheet, and BAM! – Excel just freezes dead. Like, spinning wheel of doom. Restart the computer, lose ten minutes, finally get back in. Type in like, three numbers. Freeze again! This time the whole thing crashes. Lost an hour just trying to type “$84.99”. Seriously? Felt like the universe was slapping the keyboard out of my hands.
Then the People Stuff Hit
Thought, “Fine, forget the invoice, need groceries”. Run down to the corner store. Tell the guy behind the counter, “Just these bananas and a coffee, thanks.” Simple! He rings it up wrong. Twice. Then the coffee machine starts making this godawful screeching sound, like a cat fight in a metal can. The guy’s flustered, I’m getting annoyed, the guy behind me is sighing real loud. Pure chaos over coffee and fruit.
- Wanted to fix a squeaky door? Dropped the screwdriver on my foot.
- Tried to schedule a meeting? Double-booked myself instantly.
- Thought a quick email? Hit “Reply All” with a typo the size of Texas.
Everything was stupid little problems piling up. Tripping over my own shoelaces kind of day. By lunchtime, I was ready to crawl under my desk. Karen from accounting looked ready to murder me when I messed up that group email, too.
The ‘Ganesha Was Right’ Lightbulb
Sitting there eating my sad sandwich (which, btw, the bread was stale), it finally clicks. That horoscope wasn’t joking! Ganesha yelling “Avoid Problems!” wasn’t a suggestion, it was a freaking air raid siren! He literally meant “STAY IN BED.” Do nothing important. Don’t engage. Keep your head down.
Key takeaway hammered into my skull? When the stars, especially with an elephant god shouting warnings, tell Virgos to avoid problems, they MEAN IT. They’re not saying you might have problems; they’re telling you your whole vibe that week is a walking problem magnet! Next time? I’m treating “Avoid Problems” like an official stay-at-home order. I’ll lock the doors, hide the computer, eat cereal straight from the box. Lesson learned the absolutely hardest, dumbest way possible.
