Day 233 – June 12th

What a day, today has been. I have just witnessed the Lakers blow a 24 point lead against Boston and 3-1 down there hopes of winning an NBA championship are now hanging by a thread…….and that thread is most certainly fraying.

My regular dental visit in the afternoon……I hate going to the dentist but at least now a new insurance year has started and as a result there is not too much out of pocket expense, on returning from the dentist there is disappointing news in that my date with “EDS girl” has been postponed as apparently her little brother has decided to slice himself open with a knife. This is an excuse I have never heard from for cancelling a date before however there is certainly no real need to question its validity given she appears eager to reschedule.

I now find myself with a couple of hours to kill (that I end up spending at work) prior to the “Solo Show”…..

Ah the Solo show……this has to be pretty much the worse trade show I have ever been to, it probably didn’t help that I was already familiar with most of the companies there having interviewed with pretty much all of them but more alarming was simply a general lack of creativity from the exhibitors with the exception of one who decided to set up a poker table that I enjoyed for about an hour and half before the real reason for my attendance began (Speed Dating).

To be fair the speed dating event was pretty impressive and I was impressed by most of the women presented to me, including Melissa (a girl I dated briefly last fall) but rather than sit there awkwardly decided to immediately lighten the mood with the classic line “Well this is awkward”. I remain however incredibly picky and as result only checked off two women………before you ask, yes they are both Asian…….I should find out in the next couple of days what my results are.

At this point in time I think the evening is pretty much finished but someone suggests I take advantage of a free Tarot card reading. As I write this I am in a total state of shock and whilst I will not repeat everything that I was told………given the “reader” had never met me before pretty much everything she told me about my current situation was true……….I literally could not believe it and to be honest am pretty freaked out. With regard to my current state she mentioned:

1) There is still someone hovering over me like a shadow whom I met about 9 months and I have a perception of this women that does not match the reality.

2) I am working far too hard and work and am driven to ensure my projects are both accurate and successful when and she was extremely frank about this no one else really appears to care about accuracy at all.

3) There is a new woman in my life who I met a couple of weeks back that she described in graphic detail in terms of both how she looked and her personality.

4) I have recently undertaken some kind of major fitness program with a specific goal in mind.

5) I am feeling restless with current place in life (Both what I am doing and where I live)

All of this is certainly true, and I know exactly who the people are that are described in points 1 and 3 and points 2, 4 and 5 are all certainly true as well. If she had mentioned things about my current state that had not been true I would have probably taken it with a grain of salt but she didn’t and as a result I am totally freaked out, given this woman had never met me before.

I will not repeat here what she said about the future and what it may hold but I was intreagued to say the least and I am now certainly looking at things in different way.

Mood for the day 9 out of 10.
