Sorry that your iron burned up. You're not the only one who is jinxed lately though.
Recently I was telling a few girls at work that I've never had to call in sick and use my PTO time, overslept or had a patient that didn't like me. There were family members who didn't like me, but never a patient! Apparently someone thought I was bragging. Within the last two weeks, I've (you've guessed it), overslept (was an hour late for work), got that intestinal bug (called in sick to work for 2 days) and on my first day back after that bug, ended up being assigned to a patient that couldn't stand me. Karma for bragging?
