2. Everything takes longer than you think.

everything takes longer than you think.

3. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Murphy's Law.

4. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong,
the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go
wrong.
Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong,
it will happen then.

I might get lunch but then I won't get to go outside! Woof!
Watch where you're walking. Woof!

5. If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
If I'm just being my sweet loveable self, it'll get blamed on me anyway.

6. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong,
and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.

7. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
If those tech support people don't answer those calls in the queue,

8. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

overlooked something.

9. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Nature always provides a flea bitten paw.

10. Mother nature is a bitch.
That other ExecPC dog, Jessie, is a "bitch." (In the technical sense of the word.)

11. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

12. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Whenever those tech people set out to play with me,
something else must be done first.

13. Every solution breeds new problems.

Must be "Murphy's Law."
