Is Today Friday the 13th, or is it just a full moon?

My gosh, is it just me, or are people completely wigging out today?

Apparently one of my affiliates sent out a mass email campaign today on our behalf. Got an irate call "stop spamming!!". To my knowledge, the email was sent to a valid opt-in list with permission to email.

Got another email message today,"if you're not going to respond to my email, then forget about it, we won't do business with you". I responded with profuse apologies, and explained that to the best of my knowledge, we'd never gotten an email. Few moments later, she apologizes, original message was stuck in her Outlook 'Drafts' folder, and never was sent...

I'm starting to feel like 10 miles of bad road....

    Tom, it's the confluence of the full moon with Friday the 13th. It's driving people crazy, and your luck is bad in being the target.

    I have my fingers crossed, but I don't plan on driving after last call tonight...

      Tom, my day has been the same...which is why I've decided to take the
      whole day off from doing any work unless absolutely necessary.

      I am then going to proceed to hide under my bed until this insanity goes away.

    So does this mean we have to worry more about "Jason" Or werewolves? Maybe I should go home via Elm street tonight while I am at it.

    Is it really a full moon tonight? There has to be *some* significance to the combination! <glances about furtively>

    Take a deep breath and try to relax. There's a really cool film on WGTE right now called Alone in the Wilderness. You should pour youself a Beam and Coke and watch this incredible true story.

    I had good luck so far today. So what happened has nothing to do with Friday the 13th - there's just a limited amount of good luck to go around, and I'm hogging it ALL today. You can have some of it back tomorrow.

    It's definately Friday 13th and a full moon!

    I have grown fur, canines and claws today, and now I am out in the back garden baying at the moon.

    Hope to be back to normal tomorrow.

      I don't believe in Friday 13th, but there always seems to be crazy stuff going on at fullmoon. Apperently there's also more going on in hospitals than normaly.

    Current full moon phase happened to fall on 11th/12th, depending on where in the world you live, but close enough to influence change in behaviour patterns on either side of the full moon.
