Be the monster you were meant to be

my dad was born on Friday the Thirteenth and flaunted his apparent immunity to these rituals. about the only thing that he considered to be bad luck was if he’d put his tools away that he wasn’t using before finishing a job, because right then something would break and he’d have to extend his time for the repair. he was a field service engineer, and traveled between the US, Europe, and Asia for work, and sometimes this meant extending his trip for weeks or a month.
