My Fortune
So after having Panda Express for lunch today with practically all of my co-workers (in case I haven't mentioned it, I have a temporary job) we went around the room opening our fortune cookies and reading our fortune. Everyone had the typical optimistic, somewhat clairvoyant message that make you go "hey that sounds about right"...well my was right on the mark. complete bullseye...as soon as I saw it I freaked. I thought I can't read this aloud but I was forced. It read:
"Avoid unchallenging occupations-they waste your talents."
My co-workers just looked at me and pretended to be amused. I was mortified for like a minute afterwards until I realized that I am talented or "gifted" as I was duly labeled years before. The rest of the day was awkward, everyone sort of avoided me...and now we are apparently going to have an important conference meeting next week and everyone's secretive about the topic...I'm the only one that has no idea what's going on...they wont tell me...a.little bizarre?? yes. yes indeed. that or I'm reading too much into it.
