You just have to go with the flow. The only valid excuse for anxiety is if FreeRepublic is down.

The actual law is:

You tend to take more notice of things going wrong,
and particularly when they do so at inopportune times.

Nonetheless, people routinely do not plan, test or
maintain for worst-case scenarios, with the result
that when stress arrives, stuff breaks.

Back when computers were unreliable, I used to schedule
the periodic preventative maintenance for Thursday, so
the tech could come back on Friday and fix what he broke.

Do you back up your PC?
Have you ever actually done a restore?
If not, assume your "backups" are nothing of the sort.

The most discouraging part of the numerous sub-tenets of Murphy's Law is the last one: "Murphy was an optimist." Which simply means that things are actually worse than Murphy thought they are!

Have you ever noticed that things break down in threes? And one of them is usually the clothes dryer.

Murphy's Law "What can go wrong will go wrong at the most in opportune moment that will cause the greatest damage and cost the most to repair." sheesh ---- ya can't break it!

His cousin O'Malley said it best; "Me cousin Murph is damned optimist!"
