B +ve

May Day! May Day! May Day!

Yup. Recognized as World Labour Day, it's declared a public holiday. Ok whatever.

Like 'let go', 'be positive' is another mantra that is chanted by one and all.

• So you lose a job. It might not be ok, but hey, 'you gotta B +ve. Life could start afresh for you literally and figuratively.
• So you look back and find the rolls of fat around your midriff and feel miserable, but 'B +ve' lady, as it's not the end of the world to get rid of all that meat.
• So you have bad hair days more often than having great Jennifer Aniston kind of hair days and you can still 'B +ve'.
• Boyfriends and girlfriends alike ignore you for months on end. Some don't even recognize you. You read about how you need to accept the fact that friends and loved ones are the only ones who have the power to hurt you because you care. So it's cool, hang loose and 'B +ve'.
• Is this a diatribe? Awwww...no, just B +ve.
• So when you want to gorge on junk food at home and be a slob while watching CSI or some insipid news channel with some earnest-to-goodness, young, wanna-so-badly-make-an-impression on the impressionable public cub reporter and find that there is no Maggi or mayo then all you have to do is...yup, 'B +ve'.
• Early start to the day...O 'tis gonna be a wonderful day tra la la la la la. Blue skies, warm sun, great music, all set for the not-so-bad-after-all office and lovely drive, no red signals and suddenly, the car sputters, eyes travel to the fuel gauge and gauge the 'E' and then the mind furiously goes into the rosary chanting 'B+ve'
• You write the post that's been buzzing in your head for a while and you think, aah, this can be a cool read, and will get some comments, maybe and then days and weeks pass and the pact of anonyomity that I desired is maintained, but I can still 'B+ve'
• And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on...uh oh, even Duracell died. So what, just 'B +ve'.

What if I was A -ve and not B+ve? I might be in need for some transfusion, what say O?
