Photo Shoots and Traffic Karma

If you know me in person, you know about my traffic karma. It's pretty bad. I could be the only person in the parking lot up until the moment I decide to leave and then...suddenly EVERYONE with a vehicle in a 50' radius has magically appeared in the drivers seat and is pulling out at the same time.
I could be the only driver on the road, until I decide to make a turn, then...suddenly, there is a car traveling the opposite direction and at just the right speed as to be exactly in the way to prevent me from turning...now I have to wait for them to get out of the way...
It's the way things are for me. I noticed this a long time ago and it's showing no signs of abating.

Recently my Photo Shoot Karma has been sucking just as much. Models with whom I felt a pretty solid connection with artistically have been having to cancel or reschedule at the last minute. Almost literally. I had a shoot scheduled with one girl, and she canceled the day before. Seemed like a legit reason, and I know as well as the next person that Life gets in the way. So we reschedule. On THAT day, her Mother calls me an hour before the shoot to say they had both gotten food poisoning from eating out the night before! So I tell the model to contact me when SHE'S ready...So she does, and we reschedule. And I'm thinking: This time it's gonna happen, cuz...well...I'm optimistic that way. She canceled. And I haven't made any efforts to try again cuz 3 times in a row is more than I can take.
On to the next shoot...same stuff happens, only this time I get the text about her not feeling well enough to shoot as she's on the way TO the shoot...sigh...
Well, long story short (yeah, I know. Too late.) we just wrapped our rescheduled shoot! And THIS almost didn't happen. I won't get into the details, I'm just sayin'...Karma's a Bitch.
