Mercury is in retrograde.

Something weird is going on. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I want to chalk it up to the fact that I only had three and a half hours of sleep last night (fucking panic attacks).

Today I was carpooling with new Supervisor (name TBD) to the meetings out in plain lands. We were just chatting since we were stuck in a drive through star bucks line for 20 minutes.

Her: “So everyone in the office seems to be a Scorpio or a Taurus. Are you either?”
Me: “neither. Sorry to wreck the balance. So which are you?”
Her: “Take a wild guess…”

So I look at her for a second. I barely know this woman. I know her name. I know she’s boss lady to me. From sitting in her office I have deduced that she is a practicing Buddhist, is an MFT, has no kids, and believes in karma (I deduced this by looking observing her desk.)

Me: “I’m going to say that you are a Scorpio.”
Her: “Yep. Wanna guess when I was born?” (We were really bored in line, can you tell?)

I look at her long and hard. It almost got to the point where I was staring.

Me: “November 6hth”

I was right. She looked at me astonished. She wanted to know how I knew that. I have no idea, I just did.

Oh wait, it gets weirder…

We are all eating lunch and someone is trying to explain to her what a playback ring tone is. (I probably don’t have that name right but oh well.) She just isn’t’ getting it so I say, “Let’s say that your cell phone ringer is set to a downloaded song you chose. For example… how about ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ by Judy Garland. When your phone rings, you hear Judy singing. The person who is calling you? They ALSO hear Judy singing instead of the ringing tone that you usually hear.”

She got it. However, she was giving me a weird look. In fact, she looked a little freaked out. Uh-oh, that is never good.

Her: “Why did you choose that example?”
Me: “randomly popped into my head. Why?”
Her: “I love Judy Garland and that is my favorite song.”

Uhh…. Hmmm. oh fuck is all I can say. can't explain it at all.

Mercury must be in retrograde.

That's freaky but cool. You are in tune with boss lady and you are obviously a perceptive person.

I love it when things like that happen. It's bizarre and can't be explained. Did you feel a bit freaked out?
