Instant karma's gonna get you?

I'm not sure if it's karma, or maybe it's just fate... Call it what you like, but poor Barney has not been having great luck recently. Earlier this week he had more computer issues. When talking with IT, he was less than courteous with the person he spoke with on the phone and had a bit of a confrontation with her supervisor when he came to pick up his computer. Barney informed him that he “did not appreciate that his computer was not working.” And Mr. Tech Support informed him that it wasn’t due to anything that IT had done, and he had no reason to speak to any of his staff in the way that he had addressed the student. I would venture to guess that his computer issue was not a top priority when it reached the IT office. As if not having his computer all week wasn’t enough to push him over the edge, this morning when I arrived at work, it appeared that Barney’s car had brought about the early demise of a deer. Sure enough, he was holding his own pity party in the office today because he was in a rush to get to work and hit the deer at 50 mph. Let me emphasize that I don’t generally find pleasure in the misfortune of others (except for Barney’s); although, I do feel terrible that an animal lost its life in this event. Sometimes people just get what they deserve, and Barney’s had it coming.
