Fortune's Coin

Luck, I've noticed, comes in pairs. One moment, I'm basking in a turn of good fortune, the next I'm thrown into a trough of bad luck.

This is the case this week.

Good fortune at work. I've been warned about the staff working at my current client. I've been told two women, in particular, have been giving us a difficult time. I've had the good luck of catching them in a good mood, I suppose, as I managed to get them laughing as I worked with them. My team was visibly surprised.

Then, bad luck at home. Yesterday, I came back from work to discover that my dad got our visas back. His application for a student visa to continue his studies has been rejected, throwing all of us into a turmoil. I could lose my job. Thing is, when I joined in September, my firm had asked to apply for a work permit for me. Right now, in the middle of a job, I don't know if it's still possible. I don't know anything anymore.
