The Force Works In Mysterious Ways

Huge Star Wars fan. I got wrapped up in work and just getting through each day that I didn't notice how late in the month it was. Of course all the opening day shows are sold out and I didn't book the 18th off before everyone else in the office. It's going to be a skeleton crew that day (I'm in IT)

Vendor invited me to a free private screening the morning of the 18th. Boss wants me to meet and talk with this vendor. That means I'm on the clock while there and don't need to use a vacation day. Yeah, I have to listen to a sales pitch, but that's probably better than the usual annoying commercials before the show anyways

I'm actually getting paid to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

It goes to show, sometimes the universe will change things up when you least expect it
