I arrive at work early before work hours so I can beat myself up on a treadmill. In getting to the weight room, I walk through the cafeteria where amazingly a couple of vending machines spring into life, as if to tempt me to buy something very unhealthy, as I walk by.
This is not the only place where strange unseen forces are at work. There is a street light on a corner near my house that always either turns off or on when I run by. I scared the living hee-bee gee-bees out of my kids once on a walk that went by this light. I told them that I bet the light would go out when we walked by. When it went out my second to the oldest daughter started screaming uncontrollably. I told them that it was my super power.
The vending machines at work almost had myself convinced that I could turn anything off or on at will by just my presence. Maybe, I had been bitten by a radio-active hobo spider at home. Should I take on a new super hero name like X-ray the Destroyer? My secret identity only known to those who knew the lost ancient language of Pig Latin.
Well, my bubble was burst when I realized that the vending machines had a motion sensor attached to save electricity when no one was around.
But wait. This doesn't solve the street light phenomena. Just maybe...
Does anyone else have any super powers?
I have procrastination and incompetency super powers. Yay!
