Sometimes the Guardian Angel Hires an Asshole to Get You Where You Belong

There are moments in life when even the most committed skeptic has to admit that coincidence has suspiciously good timing.

Not the lottery-ticket kind of luck. Not the obnoxious sort of fortune people post about from business class as evidence that the universe rewards positive thinking. The smaller things. The wrong turn. The forgotten keys. The train doors closing just before you reach them. The person you nearly didn’t meet because you almost stayed home.

Things that, at the time, feel like inconvenience, incompetence, rejection or spectacularly bad timing.

Years later, the mistake that ruined an afternoon begins to look suspiciously like the beginning of something else entirely.

Sometimes the Guardian Angel Hires an Asshole to Get You Where You Belong is a sharp, witty, and thought-provoking Tantrum Media editorial about bad timing, difficult people, and life's suspicious coincidences.

A little philosophy, a little science, and a deeply questionable celestial hiring policy.
