Your day is a statistical miracle of things NOT going catastrophically wrong. Every system you relied on could have failed spectacularly. They didn’t.

Most people mistake the absence of disaster for nothing noteworthy. This is cognitive failure. Your biggest problems today were rounding errors in what could have gone wrong.

Very real, first day at new job, all sorts of shit I could have fucked up. 😂

Congrats bro. Glad nothing went catastrophically wrong

Few minor issues but no real mistakes.

Life will always be full of mystery, wonder and awe.

Reality reveals itself to us.

We don’t summon reality.

It doesn’t heed our call.
