A Real-Life Medium?

I have recently found out that one of my friends, Dotti, could possibly be a real life Alison Dubois, the lead character in the TV show Medium. I don't normally believe in that sort of thing, but when she rattled off all these different scenarios where she seemed to have 'influenced' or predicted what was going to happen, it sounded like it just happened way too often for it to all be mere coincidences.

She denies it all of course, but I think deep down she thinks it may actually all be true, and probably uses her denial as her form of protection from it. Which I can completely understand. If you knew - or even had an inkling - that bad things were going to happen to people you know and loved or cared for, you're not going to want to have that sort of responsibility hanging over you. Good things are of course nice, but it's the bad events that will haunt you.

So yeah, they're all coincidences Dotti. :)

Small World

I ran in to an old work colleague today, someone whom I hadn't worked with in almost 6 years! He was there for a meeting with us (my employer, that is) representing his current company, and he just happened to be walking by my desk when he saw my name tag above my workstation! It was great to see him again. We had a sentimental chat about our old employer and he got me up to speed with the current structure over there, who was was still around and who had moved on.

Our little chat just made me realise that even li'l ol' me can make an impact on someone's life without even knowing it. And never to burn your bridges behind you. You never know when you'll be working with these people again. (Little Boss should take note. Oh wait, I haven't introduced her yet, have I. That'll have to wait until another time.)

I meant it, I really did! (NOT)

Magical Dots. Abbreviation is MD. Doctor of Medicine. Which is what I plan on being in a few years' time.

What a coincidence! I saw the relationship during one of my trips to the ladies' toilets today. The best ideas come at the most unexpected of times and places.
