Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in karma? The Greeks believed that fate was really three old women, blind. They determined our death by cutting our soul's string with jagged rusty scissors. Calvinist Christians believed that God knew exactly who would be the chosen people to ascend into Heaven, even before they were born. It all seems so eerie and managed. This wonder woman knows that a lot of people don't really like the idea of something or someone else running their lives, and who could blame them? We have free will, we want some credit for our actions...or do we?
Whatever YOUR beliefs on destiny, this wonder woman had to pause today and wonder about it. Because of the cut hours and the sudden supply of free time, I met a few friends for lunch to catch up and chat (lunch dates are so very vital). As the conversation flowed, it was brought to my attention that one of my dear buddies worked for an office that I applied for earlier in the month. I mentioned my application and how it was never responded to. She replies that they will be looking over application in the next week, and she has a little pull in who they choose to hire. We giggle with delight about the prospect of being co workers.
Later on, she excuses herself to the job we were just discussing. Then my other comrade and myself continue chatting. As we jabber, the big boss of that very office walks up and strikes up conversation. She asks how I am, what's going on with me. I mention the application and how I'm looking for better work. She mentions seeing my application and says things will open up. As she walks off my friend smiles.
"That is too weird..."
