Funny kind of thing...

There are little things that can take on a big significance sometimes. Take, for example, my apartment situation. I chose to move into an apartment that was cheap, knowing full well that I'd have to do laundry in the provided laundry facilities. No big deal. Sure, it means I have to save up my quarters, but what's the problem with that?

kightp might suddenly be realizing what the problem is... :-)

See, for no particular reason, I do a lot of coin-flipping for decision making. Sometimes the coin teaches me what I really want ("Heads! I'm happy" or "Tails, I'm disappointed... oh, wait, that means I should do what will make me happy."); sometimes I realize I'm frustrated whichever way the coin comes up, and I follow the coin flip because, hey, why not?

Of course, every time I reach into my pocket these days, looking for a coin to flip, I end up remembering that, damn it, I put all my coins into my laundry-money container. If I do have any coins, they're likely to be pennies, nickels, or dimes.

Maybe it's time to carry around a dollar coin for just this reason.
