You have stamina, energy, and gumption. And you made it to the post office! And you are earnestly, almost tearfully, trying to get them all to accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as their personal savior.

I wish I had my VFF Bikilas already.

Here they are! Pity they don't fit, and now the place you bought them won't accept the return.

I wish I could take a nap.

Oh, you can take a lovely comfortable nap. You just oversleep a bit, into next year.

I wish I had stretchy time so I could fit in an extra week or two before next Thursday.

Congratulations! You now have a huge pile of money, printed by the Parker Brothers game company. Useful if you're interested in a marathon game of Monopoly, but not so much for the legal tender.

I wish I had a larger salary.

Larger salary, no problem. All you have to do is spend 70 hours a week shovelling snow in Antarctica.

I wish my boss were better at managing smart creative types [most of his staff].

Better at managing creative staff.

Pity you're not employed any more, to enjoy his new management style.

I wish I didn't feel this stupid social anxiety about sending emails or making phone calls.

granted

Unfortunately, your friends have all now changed their names and contact details due to the barrage of emails and phone calls from you.

I wish I could do more than 4 things at once.

Granted. You are now an octopus.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that things will work out okay.

Granted!

Unfortunately, the doppleganger freaked your earlier self out so much that you chose a totally different path.

I wish the Midnight Showing of 2001 I'm going to tomorrow night/Sunday morning wasn't such a hassle to get to or to get home from.

Voila!  You're homeless, but the cardboard box you call your own is in an alley right next to the theater.  Lucky you!  (Maybe you can scalp the ticket to buy food?)


I wish my laundry would do itself.

Granted!

Unfortunately, it has no idea how to laundry and ruins itself. All your clothes are unwearable.

I wish that I didn't have so much homework this year!

Granted. Your school program has been cut.

I wish somebody at China Telecom spoke enough English to explain the cell phone plans without a lot of guessing and sign language.

Okay! Their English is perfect. Yours, however, is not.

I wish the classes I'm taking involved less busywork.

Done!  You have only one project this semester -- save the rainforest.  (They didn't really explain how this relates to your subject, unfortunately, but you will be graded on a pass/fail, and spelling counts.)


I wish I had a car.
