Prayer works if you speak to the right God.

So I have been working hard, but cashflow is a little screwy. I decided to test prayer and see what happens, The first thing I did was make a list of God's to speak to, ignoring Jesus because that dude has let me down so many times in the past, I know he doesn't like me. I know I get cashflow when work leaves the workshop so I discount that from my prayers. On Monday last week I pleaded with Cthulu to send someone with a bag of money to the workshop to place an order. Either Cthulu doesn't exist or he ignored me. I asked many times, the bloke with the plastic bag did not arrive.

On Tuesday I spoke to Thor, He must have some kind of power, because he promised to defeat the ice giants and we know there are none. Thor ignored me as well.

On Wednesday I spoke to Allah, Predictably he ignored me.

On Thursday I spoke to Amun Ra, His chariot travelled the sky from East to West, but it seems the exhaust manifold is broken because he couldn't hear me.

On Friday I asked Vishnu for his indulgence, Nope zip, zilch, nothing, nada

On Saturday I begged Zeus, and well squat happened.

On Sunday I took the day off and spent some time with my wife, With a little begging and pleading I was indulged. No packet of money though.

On Monday I checked my horoscope, didn't get that packet of money even though things are looking peachy keen.

On Tuesday it was Venus's turn to ignore my sorry ass.

On Wednesday someone walked in after my chat with the Cargo Gods, but nope, just some more work, but no packet of money.

I know I must be boring you. I still have 3000 Gods to find and talk to, I'll let you know when that packet of money arrives.
