It’s ironic how people make fun of your outlandish pronouncements in the moment, only to wind up praising your prescience later when things turn out exactly the way you said they would. What’s annoying is how they never seem to remember the part about you being right in the first place. It’s something to keep in mind on December 18th when, once again, friends and co-workers roll their eyes at the solution you propose. It hurts, of course, but who can stay angry at an amnesiac? Remember that you’re the one who will have the last laugh in the end and leave it at that.
