Had a day last week where nothing went wrong for once

I been doing this for about 6 years now and last Thursday was one of those rare days where everything just worked. First job was a simple clean on a gas insert, no creosote build up, no birds nest, nothing. Second call was a cap replacement on a roof I could actually walk on without sliding around. Third job was a reline where the old liner came out in one piece and the new one dropped down perfect on the first try. I finished by 2pm which never happens. Usually something breaks or I find a raccoon or the homeowner wants to talk my ear off about their fireplace from 1985. Has anyone else had a day like that where the universe just let you win for once?

Wait, six years and you had a day like that? I'm going on eight years myself and I'm trying to remember the last time a reline went that smooth. The liner actually came out in one piece without me having to cut it out with a Sawzall? That's almost suspicious. Did you check for hidden cameras or something? I'm half convinced the universe is setting you up for a week of absolute chaos to balance things out. Personally I would be waiting for the other shoe to drop every single day after that.

Used to think you were overreacting, but yeah, now I'm scared too.
